Color is really eye catching ! Congratulations! What’s the first thing your going to do to her
Well they didn't have the under front bumper scrape guard (Not sure the technical term, I used to call them wind-deflectors) installed from the factory. It came with it but I didn't finish my sale until after they were closed, there is nobody but lube tech's at the dealer until after the holiday and I have a busy work week ahead of me.... So I pulled out my rivet gun and installed it myself. Rivet's looked plastic but they were metal.

I'm not sure, but It also looks like the dealer didn't install the plastic grille piece over the hitch receiver. The same thing happened to me. I found mine in my glove box. It snaps right in.
Thank you very much!!!

I found that piece and snapped it in there. It was in a bag with(after googling the part number)"front fender extenders" for the left and right in front of the wheel. I had to install those too. Sheesh this dealer must have just taken the car off the truck and drove it onto the floor. :cwl:

Here is what those look like. Simple bolt-on pieces.

I did not plan on getting a Z and this is my first automatic anything. I thought I was buying a Lotus Emira. I went and test drove the Nismo Z on a whim out of curiosity. And well, here I am. Canceled the Lotus. Bought a Z. I am happy with the decision.

I do wish there was a 6-speed manual option because the car is incredibly well balanced and really nice. Saying that, I am impressed with how this 9-speed auto shifts. Especially going into a corner. Time will tell how I get on with it. It feels weird not having a clutch and stick.

new to the club. just over 2 weeks since purchasing (5/29/24). 2024 Z Performance M/T Seiran Blue - Blue. I waited quite a while for this color combination but it was well worth it imo.

Feels nice to be back in a Japanese car. I previously owned a 1999 Maxima SE M/T.

Initially no, as I told myself I didn't plan to modify it, and one of my other cars is more modified.

However I'll have to reassess after the break in period. If the body roll and quiet exhaust really really get to me, I would at least do Sway Bars and an Exhaust, plus I really don't like the stock exhaust tips with those holes in them. Possibly wheels when new tires are needed.

I do enjoy seeing what others do to their cars though.
