New (to me) 2009 Touring with Sport Package

Hi guys, I'm Eric and I'm now part of the Z world.
I just picked up a 2009 Pearl White Touring with Sport Package with Persimmon Leather and Navigation.

It was pre-owned and only had 3800 miles on it. Got it for $33,700.
I'm pretty pleased about it. It has everything I wanted, plus Navigation which wasn't necessary for me but fun now that I have it.

Here's some pics:

I just got it tinted today by SSC Tint & Graphics in Elizabethtown, PA

I ordered my JDM/Euro Spec Rear Fog Light Kit for The Z Store today and I'll be calling Tony at Fast Intentions tomorrow to get on that long list of people who want his exhaust.

I'm coming from a Mazdaspeed3, so having all this low end torque and a motor that pulls all day is new to me, but I'm having a blast and enjoying how luxurious the car is inside.

Looking forward to reading about all your mods and learning what's what with this car.

Congrats!

It's funny to hear different people's takes on this car based on what they are coming from. I come from big V8s so I kind of laugh a little bit when I hear "low end torque" and "Z" in the same sentence... but alas, it's such a fun car! Enjoy it!

And you are making a great choice going with FI!!!

Nice! PW is the best color, they've done studies and found that only cool people drive pearl white cars ;) What % tint did you go with? I think I may end up with 35%, but I'm still undecided.

I did 45% SunTek Carbon on the doors and 35% on the hatch and corner windows.
Even the 45% looks dark because it's a white car. I went lighter than most people go because I didn't want to attract too much po-po attention. My Mazdaspeed3 had 20% all around and I was paying a $100 looking cool tax every other week with it until I went lighter on the front doors.

I'm really happy with the outcome. I think it's just the right amount of tint to look cool and give a little bit of privacy and sun protection without looking like I'm trouble.
I can do that on my own without any extra help!

Awesome color setup and a great price! CONGRATS!!!!

Congratulations! Welcome to the Z world.

You are going to really enjoy her. :tup:

Congratulations! The Z looks super!

This is the color combo that changed my mind about tinting windows......persimmon.....:yum:

Car looks great! :tup:

Looks Great, Enjoy!:tup:

Woohoo! #139 on the Fast Intentions exhaust list.

Congrats! you got a great deal on the car :tup:
