Throw an exhaust on there ASAP! I recommend F.I., but take a #

I agree. I have the F.I. one. My friend got an Ark one recently and that sounds good too, though. If you don't want to wait 3 months like the rest of us for F.I., there are plenty of good options.

Before the CBE, though, post MAF and drop-ins are a quick, cheap and easy mod to take care of unless you plan to go CAI that is.

black on black, calls for dark-gunmetal high end wheels.

Like, dont kill yourself with the blind spots. Adjust your mirrors so that you barely see the edge of your rear quarter panels on both sides - you'll need all the space you can get...

LMBO...really good advice. Man I thought Car and Driver was joking when they said that the blind spots were insane. They were NOT lying...I have cut so many people off unintentionally. Repping your post!

Why thank ya.

Seriously, blind spots can quite literally kill you in this car...be careful, OP. Get used to 'em.

If he adjusts his sideviews out far enough, he should be ok. I have it set up so that there is almost no blind spot. The biggest risk to me is backing up. if a shortie or animal is behind you, you're not going to see it at all. My gf is afraid to drive the car because f the poor rear visibility, though, haha.

lol, that sucks. be careful when :driving:
Gauge your pass. Try to change lanes on a pass, don't change too often and learn to measure your car and your velocity vs the other car mentally. Seat position is key. Sometimes what is most comfortable isn't the most driver friendly. Example, I prefer a slight lean on my seat. But i drive my Z more upright than i like to have a better connection with my mirrors. I found with my seats in a slight lean? I wasn't benefitting from optimum use of my mirrors.

Play with the seat mirror thing till you get it.:tiphat:

The rear right corner (around the 4-5 o'clock position) is almost 100% blind, if you have an off-angle left turn. Mirrors cant fix that.

Hmmm, I'll pay attention to that. thanks. I just have it set up that if i can't see them through my wide windows, I can see them in my sideview, but that means having them turned out quite a bit. That may create a blindspot where you say. good heads up. I drive pretty courteously and don't weave too much unless it's pretty clear and open (I don't want to be that jerk in the sports car driving like he owns the road and weaving in traffic and not getting anywhere really) so I haven't really noticed.
