Default Hello from Brazilian in Atlanta, GA! (New 370 Z 2013 dark Grey with Black Rims etc

Hello Dear Nissan Z Lovers (Or Nissan at all!).

Before I even begin to introduce myself, I must say it is a real shame that I did not know about the 370 Z (or even 350 Z) a lot better before I bought it.

My name is Guilherme (Gui nickname). I've moved from Brazil to USA last year Nov. 2012, but lived in California for 7 years when younger.

I went from renting 2013 Mustang's, Mazda 3, etc in one full year until I gained enough credit history to make my purchase. I was going to buy a one down payment car, but long story short, the deal of my life came up with a friend here (also brazilian) who sold me a brand new Nissan 370 Z 2013 test drive from Nissan dealer for an excellent price with only 1,200 miles. I ended up financing a small portion to boost my credit history even more. It is a Win-Win situation in all aspects. More credit history, top notch car, low mileage, low price, extremely fast car, 2 years warranty in still.

I am in love. This resumes the entire story.

In less than a month, already did some major modification on the visual side.

The Z when purchased and washed. I'm missing the left front LED. It came to his dealer this way and he asked if I wanted the new LED back which would cost 800 at Nissan, or 500 more less at aftermarket, or the discount. I went with discount and trying to figure out cheaper options. Any suggestions on workarounds?

Door handles were a bit off being shiny silver, so I dipped them too.

Edited to attach a new "back" angle picture without being shaky.

Please, feel free to send compliments, or any good suggest criticism for me to get it better.

I personally don't like rear spoilers because I like the "Panamera somewhat kinda of look like" (Yeah, I love somewhat kinda of looks haha).

Thank you guys!
