Default Hello from Brazilian in Atlanta, GA! (New 370 Z 2013 dark Grey with Black Rims etc

Hello Dear Nissan Z Lovers (Or Nissan at all!).

Before I even begin to introduce myself, I must say it is a real shame that I did not know about the 370 Z (or even 350 Z) a lot better before I bought it.

My name is Guilherme (Gui nickname). I've moved from Brazil to USA last year Nov. 2012, but lived in California for 7 years when younger.

I went from renting 2013 Mustang's, Mazda 3, etc in one full year until I gained enough credit history to make my purchase. I was going to buy a one down payment car, but long story short, the deal of my life came up with a friend here (also brazilian) who sold me a brand new Nissan 370 Z 2013 test drive from Nissan dealer for an excellent price with only 1,200 miles. I ended up financing a small portion to boost my credit history even more. It is a Win-Win situation in all aspects. More credit history, top notch car, low mileage, low price, extremely fast car, 2 years warranty in still.

I am in love. This resumes the entire story.

In less than a month, already did some major modification on the visual side.

The Z when purchased and washed. I'm missing the left front LED. It came to his dealer this way and he asked if I wanted the new LED back which would cost 800 at Nissan, or 500 more less at aftermarket, or the discount. I went with discount and trying to figure out cheaper options. Any suggestions on workarounds?

G35 19' Loaner rims while doing muffler delete. I am in love with the sound, seriously.

Plasti Dip on Enkei 19' rims, and front bumper to a "somewhat GTR look a like".

Door handles were a bit off being shiny silver, so I dipped them too.

Front done.
2 Nissan 370 Z.jpg

Exhaust tip painted black and finally back done.

Edited to attach a new "back" angle picture without being shaky.

Please, feel free to send compliments, or any good suggest criticism for me to get it better.

I personally don't like rear spoilers because I like the "Panamera somewhat kinda of look like" (Yeah, I love somewhat kinda of looks haha).

Thank you guys!

Gui

Let me be the one of the first to say ! Great looking ride and this is the best forum on the Interweb.

Maybe everyone is still Christmas shopping, that's why no one said yet.

Haha so it actually worked. I'm no big drama, but those always get attention, huh? hahah

Actually xxAGAVExx beat you to it haha, but thanks for the welcome and compliments Mr. mults!

I haven't been this excited about a car I had in a long while, and I love cars. There are so many other things I want to keep doing to it which makes part of all the fun. My goal is to learn from the best here.

Thank you Ma'am! By that you mean, lower it? I'm not familiar with all tunning terms, since I come from Brazil hehe. Thanks for the compliments though. You got a nice one too!

By the way, this pic from the "back" sort of angle is better. The other one was a little shaky.
