I cannot imagine trying to get dog hair out of the graphite interior. Our leather interior, beige colored Explorer will continue to be our doggie mobile.

I throw a blanket over the seat so there's no mess.

Assembled! Thanks again for the heads-up!

Same thing for me! The dealer handed me a bag of plastic bits and said something like, "here are some extra pieces..." Drove around for a couple weeks before looking closely at the front and noticing the gap ?

At least they gave you the parts! I didn't even want to deal with them so I just ordered from Z1, I needed a few small parts anyway so this justified the shipping cost

I saw so many nismos shopping online with the spring spacers still in them it was ridiculous. Didn’t notice until I saw posts about it here, then it seemed like 1 out of every 3 or 4 I saw still had them in.
I’m surprised how little, many sales people know about the cars they sell. I would probably be a horrible salesman, mainly because in general human beings are selfish garbage, but at least I would learn as much as possible about what I’m selling. Like the dude working for 20 years in plumbing at Lowe’s that still doesn’t know where anything is, much less what it does. Have some self-respect people!

Touched a nerve.
I’m done.

No, you're absolutely right, and I've made that same argument to my wife. Salesmen and women should learn about the vehicle they're selling. My salesman knew nothing about the Z. NOTHING. I found it to be unprofessional and annoying.

When I told him I owed "Fifty-one, nine" on my trade he told the finance manager I owed $50019, then the manager kind of jumped on me as if I mislead him about the $2K difference. I had also mentioned I was probably $2K upside down on the trade and he told the finance manager I was $2K behind on payments. I was about ready to beat someone's ass by the time I was ready to leave, let me tell you.

Glad you got this sorted.

Did you have the part or go shame the dealer into finding one?

Edit: seems like you got this from Z1.

Nissan dealers ought to be ashamed that they're delivering cars like this. Really? landing a bag of parts? Nissan Corporate: educate your dealers!

The last time I bought a Nissan was at my local dealer in 2012. Great dealership. It's certainly changed since then.

Mine had a bag with the grill insert and the two air deflectors for the Performance front wheels. I have a Sport and no Performance chin spoiler. None of the good stuff, just plastic rubbing pavement at all times.

I removed my plastic wind deflector. Got tired of it scraping going in and out of my steep driveway

Its useless for what it is intended for. Who wants good MPG on a Sports car that has 400hp

Lol, I can tell you that 15mpg in my Mach 1 sucked!!! I'm glad to get more than 175 miles to a tank. Thrilled actually. ?

‘24 Z NISMO
Didn’t do anything to my Z today, other than drive it. But after almost a month and 1k miles, I found out it has a glove box where a glove box should be. I’ve been driving 350Z’s for the past 22 years with the glove box placed inconveniently behind the passenger seat. Cleaning my ‘05 out earlier this month to trade in and the front license plate bracket was in there still in the factory bag.
Sort of a win. I guess.
