Former forum lurker, now Proud Owner!
 
This is a great forum. I've learned so much about the car before I even purchased it from members' experiences here. :icon17:

So yesterday I purchased a new 2009 370Z Platinum Graphite base with Sports Package from a Nissan dealership in Atlanta, Georgia. It also came with illuminated kick plates, painted splash guards, wheel locks, carpeted floor mats, carpeted trunk mat. :driving:

I used to own an 95 Integra GSR, then a 97 Acura CL 3.0, then a 03 Honda S2k. So this is my first Nissan experience.

I live in Southern California but I'm currently in the military so I am stationed in Georgia. Are there any owners here near Hinesville/Savannah, Georgia area or Orange County, California area? :hello:

I would like to get a clearbra installed (ventureshield ultra) before I make a very long trip back to California from Georgia. I'm pretty sure debris on the road/highway = potential rock chips :eek: If there are any reputable clearbra installers in the Georgia area, please point em my way :tup:

I also want to install a double din head unit for navigation with PAC switch, a rear camera, and an Ipod connection; Like AK's setup. So if anyone can recommend a local Audio/Video installation shop near Savannah, Georgia, that also be great! :icon17:

I'll post picks up later of the Z. I want to clean the car once more. Had to travel 241 miles from a Nissan dealership in Atlanta back to Hinesville, Georgia. Bug splats and dust are crusting up my new car :mad:

It's great to be a Z club member and also a part of this forum community! :hello:

Congrats! Your new Z is looking good. I feel your pain though having to deal with the bugs. Clearbra will be a big plus for your long trip.

ZCarMan is right about the bugs. Don't Wait, get a Clearbra on ASAP or you'll wish you had.

Welcome to the club! The Platinum Graphite is a sweet color! Any plans for performance mods?

Thanks. I have kept ALL the info of my forum available to any guests. Many forum owners keep sections locked just for forum members. But what they fail to realize, if you can't convince a guest with the useful info and threads , he will simply go to somewhere else.

Your car looks great! BTW, your sunshade looks like exploding in this pic! :icon17:

None at the moment. Unless you consider a front license plate bracket install an upgrade:rofl2:

I was considering the gen 3 Stillen CAI but I don't think taking off the front bumper just to install new air filters is worth the trouble.

For now, I'm looking for a clearbra and HU navigation install.

I've already purchased AK's setup (which is amazing!) minus the Sirius package and also purchased a PAC switch to retain my steering wheel controls. I'm just waiting on my rearview camera (from Hong Kong :eekdance:)before I can do the install.

:tup: :excited: I love the unit. From bluetooth to nav - everything works just the way it suppose to!

Welcome :tiphat:

You're going to have a lot of fun with your car... when you get back to the OC.. cruise on up to the South Bay and take mine for a spin. Then you will break the bank on your new toy with fun things... :p
