Only took five and a half months!

Portlander · 01-08-2010, 10:01 PM

Well my 2010 PW 6MT Sport with Splash Guards and Illuminated Kickplates finally arrived this morning in perfect condition and it was well worth the wait. Dealer installed the Stillen CBE this afternoon, then prepped and detailed the car for delivery. Light snow started falling prior to completion so I told them to keep the car inside and I will pick it up tomorrow morning when the roads are dry.

Pearl White looks even better in person and my car is officially the first 2010 coupe to reach Maine. Only sad news is that my car will sit in the garage until around mid March, but now I can at least look at it every day if I choose. And I already know, this thread is useless without photos, but it was already dark by the time they finished! Thanks for everyone's help over the last few months

I went to the dealership in early dec with intentions of ordering the car for a march delivery. But the exact z was being delivered to the states so I put down a deposit and waited 3 weeks. I'm so glad I got mine early. Enjoy looking at your car.

Congrats! You don't know how tempting it is going to be to drive her, when you staring it in the face in your garage

CBE right from the get-go. Nice!

I had plenty of time to plan and coordinate it's arrival. Also the proud owner of some of K&N drop in filters, did not want my front bumper removed in order to install a CAI.

Apologize for the delay in posting these, I needed some help from my brother to explain how to post photos on this site. I'm far more into cars than I am computer technology.

Temps in the 40's yesterday, so I got a chance to get the first coat of wax on. Now in the garage until the snow, sand and salt disappear from the roads up here.

Update, had my windows tinted this past Friday morning. I think the contrast of the tint and the PW paint really enhances the side and rear profile of the car visually.

I feel your pain, I had mine for three weeks before I had to put it away for the winter. Sadly it won't see daylight till April.

Portlander · 01-17-2010, 02:27 PM

Winter can be tough and I have alot of respect those owners that use their 370Z's as a daily driver in northern climates. I just won't deal with it anymore and have learned to live with using the car for only eight months out of the year.

Congrats! Tint on PW looks great!

Portlander · 01-28-2010, 08:46 PM
