Default Need advice for next mod!

I have recieved my christmas wish list this week for my Z and would like some input on what would be best bang for my buck on next mod,and no turbo isn't in budget yet.
I just recieved ud pulley,motordyne spacer,JWT pop charger,and ground kit.And still waiting on my 19" Volk SF Winning wheels wrapped w/ toyo's.
It is still winter here and want to order some goodies for springtime!

Thanks for your positive input

I recently started charging for advice. Every recommendation costs $1. PayPal will be fine.

agree but while we're spending you $$$ might as well throw in a front and rear camber and toe adjust kit to so you keep those new tires happy...

Why not add an oil slick like 007 or perhaps a device that drops a cinderblock out of the back for when the man is chasing you. Or even better yet you could add the chaff cannons so heat seaking missiles can't track you. Side facing flame throwers are pretty tight. Or perhaps to top all of that you could just buy a set of night vision goggles and drive around at night with your lights off!

Externally mounted speakers? An air horn from a train?

Tinfoil hat for the car so the government can't beam mind controlling rays into your cars brain?

Then you wouldn't have to wear your own tinfoil hat while you are driving! Not to mention you wouldn't have to worry about aliens reading your mind or trying to probe you!

be nice. If you don't have anything nice thing to add, keep it to your own. Have a bad night tonite?

Cool

Hey those were serious suggestions! He was asking about mod suggestions and I gave him a few. I guess somebody folded up the wrong side of their tinfoil hat this morning...

If you do the install your self, and your budget is $2k, I'd say get coilover for $1400, test pipes for $200, Hotchkis sways for $260

Suspension...maybe Nismo for a subtle drop, especially since your putting rims on it.
