New Z in the driveway!

JB1 · 07-07-2009, 11:39 PM

Ordered late April, arrived at the dealer last week and now in my driveway:

Touring/Sport/Nav/6-speed
Platinum Graphite / Persimmon
Floor Mats, Trunk Mat, Illuminated Kick Panels and splash guards

Big thanks to Robert_Nash for the VPP claim number, saved a bunch!

I plan to break the car in, better safe then sorry is my opinion. But I can't wait until that's over and I can hit the rev limiter :-).

Then it will be time for some mods, nothing to extreme though. First up are clear bra and window tint (should be legal in Illinois any day now). After that it's saving for CAI, exhaust and maybe HFC's. An Oil cooler is on the list as well, as I want to do some track days, but that might have to wait until next year.

Here are some pics:
