Best cheap mods?
There used to be a thread on this but I have seached and failed to come up w/ the thread...
Anyone have suggestions on some reasonably cheap mods for the Z?
I've put on a new grille, changed the front Nissan emblem to a Z emblem, put on a shorty antenna, and tinted the windows.
By cheap I mean under $200 or so per change.
Everything I've looked at from this point out is $500+.

I was thinking mostly appearance. The Z has plenty of oomph for me. I don't track it or really push it all that much.
i do have to get a new front bumper because I managed to tear an 8 inch or so gash in it under the driver side headlight. When I first got the car I parked way too close to a curb, scrapped the front badly, and then when backing out the front chin aero lip got caught and it tore the front bumper. I'll obviously go far over $200 on that.
Some things that I've been thinking of are clear front sidemarkers as well as Bat's vinil overlays for the tail lights.
I also really like the nismo wing but I have an OEM wing and don't really feel like dealing w/ filling the holes and having it installed.

Get a spoiler like mine 
(just click on the link in my signature to see it)
Other exterior parts, like u said of Bat's overlays are good and cheap... you should really get overlays to cover up the black plastic around the mirrors and get some to cover the black plastic between the driver/passenger window and the small rear side windows.
