How's it going guys

I'm from LA and just picked up my 370Z (PW/Persimmon, Touring, Navi, Sports w/ 6sp manual) last week and I must say I love the car. I had a TL 05' previously and a Honda Accord 02' before that. I'm just glad I got the car for 35K when the price was 40K. It seemed as if the dealership was desperate to get rid of the car (even though they said there's only 2 cars with the same options and colors as mine in the West Coast. I didn't believe him)

I've been quietly reading the threads in this forum and found them quite helpful. Regarding mods, I'm leaning towards waiting a little while to see if more newer parts will be available for a better price. Until then, any recommendation or advice is more than appreciated. I'm also broke at the moment.

The funny thing is that before getting my Z, I hadn't seen a single one in SoCal and I was quite happy about that thinking I would be special. The same day I picked up my car, I saw a PG, MB, and PW in a 15 mile radius!

I'll post pictures of my window tint on that "Post your windows tints!" by RCZ. I've done 20% all around by 3M. They look amazing but I got pulled over once for it (on the day I wasn't supposed to roll down my windows to let the film dry). Fortunately I only got a warning.

Well that's it. Have a good one.

I hate you. I ordered mine mid March and I still have not gotten the call. If i had waited until now to go find a Z, I'm sure there are plenty of Pearl White/Persimmon combos around.

Enjoy your new car!

So you haven't gotten yours yet? Are you planning on waiting? I hope you find what you are looking for. No regrets whatsoever

Will definitely be waiting or else I'm out $500. I'll be calling them this weekend to get an update. You must post pics of your ride for me to drool over.

We have to start a HATE group to convince other people not to buy our colors.

Here's a short story on car colors. When we got my wife her previous TL in 05, we (umm, "I") had picked out a gold color called Desert Mist. She was hesitant, but going along. So when we got home that night, I scanned the forum acurazine.com to see what colors other people were picking up. Turned out less than 2% were going with that gold -- everyone (24%+) that year was buying Anthracite (dark grey). I told her, --- she changed the order. So we saw lots of "identical" 3rd gen TLs on the road, but it helped a little at trade-in time. (And then, a month ago, she picked a dark "Royal Blue" for her 4th gen, a color which has all the cleaning problems of black, and this time we don't care how many others we see on the road. )

So if you're going to hold the car a long time, try to get an exclusive color combination. If you'll be selling, get the "popular" color. I doubt this particular pearl & persimmon will be traded before the 380 Z comes out.
