I know, it isn't much. But have set aside $3K to do something to my new, '05 SB z, Touring.
I would love to hear some experience based opinions on what to do with $3K on a stock touring.
Some guidelines:
1. I don't want to void the warranty.
2. I am not very experienced in the modification, mechanical or racing world.
3. I would appreciate setting my z apart with physical appearance enhancements (front end)
4. I have some ideas: tinting the windows (with a cool looking, not guady, color tint) a radar detector that i can put the sensor in the front and rear and have the "unit" in the place the nav. system would be, a performance computer that reports hp, 1/4 and 0-60. (I escort makes one??),

Thanks for your ideas. I don't have money sitting around so I want to make the best decisions and I believe the folks on this site can provide some great ideas!

 

I'd start with wheels.

 

LED sidemarkers... sways, springs, lip, wing... or just blow it all in one shot on wheels

 

JWT popcharger, window tint, lowering springs. You dont want to invest on a real aggressive body kit if you cant match it up with some wheels. Always get wheels before a body kit! You can enhance the Z with a nice carbon fiber lip. Upgrade your stereo since you spend most of your time inside your car.

Good luck.

 

I just ordered 19" wheels/tires and Tein coilovers....all for $3k.

 

give it to me...

 

Front chin Nismo spoiler, rear spoiler. Legal % tint sides and back to start with.

 

Man f*** the b*lls***, get a single turbo kit....seriously. I wish I would of done that instead of spending over 3g's for my rims.

 

IRA. The most selfish thing you can do for yourself. The "future you" will thank the "today you" for having the wisdom.

 

I would suggest to get some rims and a custom sound system.

 

I would suggest some forged 18x8.5 in front and 18x9.5 in the back rims or 19's. Nothing says cool like new rims. In fact the only part on the Z that doesnt look good imo is the3 stock wheels unless you have the anniversary edition. Plus the Z corners better with rider rims and doesnt peal out so easy on take offs with the wider rubber.

 

wheels for sure, night and day differnece in attention you will get over any mod. They are the most noticible mod, other than a 4 foot wing, but we want positive attention.

 

CF-CF-CF-CF and more carbon fiber. I like to loose 400lbs.

 

i'd do all foot work...coilovers, sways, new front strut, and maybe if u could scrounge up a few more bucks new wheels too...

 

upgrade to 19" wheel/tires.

 

Damn, where did you buy that setup at? Sounds like a good deal...

 

wheels

 

Invest...

 

Save up 3k more and get a stillen supercharger.
