I'm a flexible person with life and like to keep my options open. It seems like the issues with the FI setups have been worked out, and like I said all along, my only issue with the 370Z was the cheap paint and the lack of power. The TT kit fixes the power, and about a month ago I became aware of "car wraps", which takes care of the cheap paint. Besides, buying a cheaper car would allow me to move/do whatever I wanted a lot sooner than a more expensive one. So, will just see what the bank says and go from there.
Would you actually feel comfortable TT'ing a car that was 100% financed? Would your credit union allow you to modify a car that they held the title to?

I don't intend to push my opinions on you, but I think it is not the best decision to significantly modify a car that is not owned outright. Just a thought. The car could crap out on you for various reasons that would not be covered by insurance, and leave you in quite a hole.

EDIT: Apparently great minds think alike. Beat to the point by just a tad.
