Finally Got a 370z!
 
Hey guys I finally got a 370z! Been looking for a while. Finally found the exact one I wanted from a dude in Texas. It's a 2011 fully loaded with navigation touring and sport package. I opted for auto w/ paddles.

I used to have a 2004 350z. Then I sold it and bought a 2007 G35 coupe. Been missing the Z feel.

Here's a pic of it being delivered!

Since buying the car I've already done a couple basic aesthetic mods.

Plasti Dipped the rear-diffuser:

Before:

After:

And 5% tints everywhere and 35% on the front:

Next mod, I just ordered some 20F/25R spacers to push the wheels out. They should be in Thursday. Will post pics!

Looks clean! Always love the white. Very good contrast with anything.

You could have done what I did and drove the car home with a big smile all the way :-)

I have always owned manual sport cars and let me tell you... I love the paddle shift in this car!

Yea my 350z was manual and I loved it but once I moved to Scottsdale, I couldn't take shifting during rush hour anymore especially in the mornings.

Careful with plastidip, you probably have spots all over your car. That stuff gets EVERYWHERE. I newspapered my entire car after the initial spray because it really does get everywhere.

scoot87 03-02-2013 07:01 PM

2 months later.... finally put my spacers on!

Hey guys I'm thinking about plasti-dipping my wheels. I can't decide between white(pearl) or matte black. Any thoughts?

Depends on the look you're going for. Matte black without any glossifier/pearlizer looks good, but I got tired of the lack of sheen. The first three pics are of matte black only.

The following two are four coats of black and two dustings of the pearlizer --- it gets silvery fast, so don't overdo it. I would stick with black as a base and maybe a little pearl as well. They also just released copper metallizer. Dark bronze would look great on white. I wouldn't do white on white; contrast is what makes the car POP! :tup:
