Finally! Picked up Serian Blue Z last night

Got her last night and took her on her maiden voyage home. 45 miles, mostly winding, two lane country roads. I gotta tell you I am in love. (minus the speakers - absolute trash). It literally make me smiling the whole way home! You have no idea how fast you're going until you look. Makes me want a heads up display. I looked down once and was running 80 like it was 40.

Couple things maybe someone here can help with -
#1 - what speaker sizes should I be looking for to replace these God awful ones? Prefer something I don't have to add an amp to...
#2 - what are y'all using for back hatch storage to keep some things from sliding around?
#3 - best way to get rid of water spots on windows? I gotta do this and some glue marks still left over the detail kids didn't get.

congrats. man I didnt realize it was a sport model you were trading for, those are way harder to come by right now

any plans for wheels? exhaust? or just enjoying it for now?

Congratulations ! The car looks fantastic !

Nothing at the moment except these speakers if I can find replacement ones. Doing a spoiler, but debating on black or blue. Tint. That's about it, really.

That's just it. Keep it simple and clean for now. Take the advantage and drive'r !
A black spoiler could look really nice with the blue

I didn't think so at first, since the black rook stops before where the spoiler goes, but after seeing the painted rear fascia, I do think it will pop, too.

Check with Crutchfield for speakers. Chances are good the 370 speakers will fit.

NOTE: the "400Z" doesn't show anything, BUT you can earn $350 in gear if you help them with research. See last paragraph in text pic.

Congrats, great color! You might want to invest in PPF or ceramic coating, not sure how Nissan's paint quality is nowadays.

Congrats!

Fine steel wool quickly removes water spots on glass.

As for adhesive, I like Goof Off, use a very soft rag to avoid swirling.

Good luck with the audio upgrade, I own a Q60 and Nissan made audio upgrades easy in it, hoping they continue the tradition with the Z. I won't offer any opinions until I get my hands on a Z myself, but I suspect upgrading won't be too difficult.

Congrats on the purchase!

Mine has platforms and a storage compartment behind the seat to hold those things sliding around the back. The storage compartment holds the owner manual, which is too big for the glove compartment.

I gotta tell you, @Jughead, that blue really pops. Look at the other cars in that photo. They're all boring and drab. It reminds me of the woman in red (except blue) from The Matrix.
