A few questions about what to do with my new Z

erfan · 10-03-2013, 10:12 AM

Hello everyone,

I just bought my new 370z a couple of weeks ago and I had a few questions on what to do with it next:

1) Im planning on getting the car wrapped in matte black vinyl. Anyone know of a good/reliable places in the Michigan area that does this?

2) Im planning on getting the amuse rear bumper for the car. Anyone know the average cost for that part, and any advice as to the best place to get it at?

3) Finally, I want to get a nice set of rims to go with the matte black color. Anyone have any advice or opinion?? Pictures are welcome! I was thinking of going with a: Matte Black Rohana RC5 or a Matte black Forgestar F14

Im open to other opinions too!

Thanks in advance for all the help

if you're going for a radical look, i suggest lowering the car too so you have more options on wheels from just the looks perspective.

First thing to address on the Z is proper wheel spacing so be it wheel spacer on stock rims or after market. Then lowering the car to make it come together with your wheel setup.

If your wanting the Amuse rear please make sure you get a kit all around. Side skirts and front fascia so be it whatever combination you like. Just looks tacky to just get one or the other.

Modding usually comes in pairs. You do one thing usually something else is required to make it come together. Sometimes in three's.

Well it really all depends on your personal taste & what you want the car to look & perform like. Spend a lot of time in the members gallery & find what you like & go from there. Take your time & don't be impulsive with your decisions & it you should end up with what you want

Goto the galleries here on the forum and see what wheel set up's folks have already.

The bumper is expensive.

Here is a list of things you should do to your Z

1)

2)

3)

Incase you dont get it you should just enjoy the car. Stock they are fine, maybe an exhaust if you dont like the sound but really nothing needs to be done.

I saw a Z with a fast and furious 1 type graphics painted on, you name it the green and silver flames and all. Really hard to look at.

To me the Amuse kit looks like something that Officer Brian O'Conner would drive. As do most aftermarket bumpers/skirts/valences/wings.
