New guy - My Montery Blue Journal

BrandonSS · 06-03-2013, 07:19 PM

I met a guy about a year and a half ago at a meet and fell in love with his Monterey Blue on Gray 370z. During the meet I told him if he ever sells it, let me know. Fast forward to about 3 weeks ago, Ray and I made the deal! I'm in love with this thing. Huge upgrade from my 05 and 06 350Z.

She is a 2009 Touring with Sport and tech (nav etc) package. Ray was nice enough to take great care of her and leave her bone stock.

The week after I lowered it with H&R springs.

Then I scored a complete lightly damaged Nismo front end, diffuser, and undertray that is almost ready! Hopefully by this weekend.

Still debating on picking up a FI exhaust or ordering a Motordyne...

Anyway, thats where she stands right now. I'll keep this updated for my own entertainment and whoever else thats along for the ride.

Now I wish I bought the local Monterey blue instead

Looks like you're off to a great start!

De, Yes he was.

Monterey Blue is by far the best stock color on a 370z!! Looking good so far!

ElVee · 06-06-2013, 11:45 AM

Awesome! Probably my favorite color on the Z, though not my style to drive. So I just get to admire others who choose it.

Can't wait to see the nismo bumper on!

Test fit from today (not bolted on) Just backed it out to see if it would clear the driveway curb, and it did. Not sold on it yet..

BA370 · 06-16-2013, 11:21 PM

Nismo wheels would complete the look..
