My New Mont. Blue Z

Alligirl · 01-27-2015, 12:17 AM

Hi guys! I am the ECSTATIC new owner of a 2012 Monterey Blue 370Z, which I just got over the weekend. It has both touring and sport packages, and I got it with low miles. A picture was snapped at the moment of our "first meet" as I sat inside, and I look completely high.

Looking for tips and suggestions on mods - cosmetic or otherwise. Black handles and rims are at the top of my list. I was never a "car enthusiast" until I got this Z, so I'm a complete noob when it comes to any of this. I'm absolutely in love with this car. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the only mods on it from the previous owner are the fairlady emblem, "fog light", and a slight window tint. Would appreciate any feedback (especially in the areas where I'm clueless, namely mechanics). Thanks!

Hello and welcome

Congrats. The blue is one of my favorite colors on the Z. I would leave the rims and handles as they are. The DIY paint it black that many people do looks like something purchased from a garage sale.

Congrats on the purchase!

Alligirl · 01-27-2015, 10:22 PM

Thanks everyone! The color is really amazing. It was my first time seeing it in person. I can't help it; I love the look of black accents, and I like that plasti-dipping is reversible. And yes, Zrider, I'm very close to Biloxi - about.. 1 1/2 hours!
