Default New Guy, Excited About His Baby

Hello!

I'm finally, finally getting some modifications to my Z! YAY!

I've got a 2011 magnetic black Z that I bought new back at the beginning of that year. It was a base model, and sadly, it is an automatic. Yes, I know... take away my man card for not getting a manual, but it was a good price at the time, I really wanted it, I wanted black and I didn't want to wait. I do miss the feeling of the manual (almost every car I've ever owned had a manual), but when I'm stuck in heavy traffic I don't regret it at all.

Anyway, my car is currently getting the following installed (I hope to have her back tomorrow, she's been away from me for almost a week)...

KW V3 coilovers
AP Racing Big Brake kit with ss lines
AAM Competition 2.5" True Dual Exhaust
AAM Competition High Flow Cats
Axis Angle 20-inch wheels (9 1/2 and 10 inch)
Hankook tires (255 front, 285 rear)
S-tune rear deck spoiler
rear Euro fog/brake light
blacked-out Nissan emblems
getting the door handles painted to match the body color
Pioneer Avic-z130 nav/head unit and more speakers and amps

And a Passport 9500ci radar detector for the cherry on top!

Just swung by and was looking at my baby and she's looking SOOOOO sweet! She's been dropped about an inch to get rid of that horrible gap. Clearance underneath looked good except for the exhaust (I'll have to be very careful with those). Had those underneath air-dams removed.

I was considering a few other things, but just couldn't convince myself that I really wanted them.

Throught about a body kit, the Amuse specifically, but I don't know, I really do like the clean look of the stock body. So I decided to skip it, at least for now.

I was also considering a Stillen dual cold-air intake, but I didn't like the idea of having to remove the front bumper every time I had to deal with the filters.

Anyway, I hope to have her back tomorrow and am VERY excited!
