Man, do you really need someone to tell what cost more then the other, (considering different brands different prices )what you do is find prices and then list the highest price in spot number one.

I spend my money getting new sound system first, and I regretted so much.

Well if its bang for your buck, remember that I/H/E dont do a whole lot for a Z. I mean just with production engine tolerances you may find a stock Z just as fast or baster than one with those bolt-ons. Figure out what your top priority is first then go from there.

im in the same boat just picked up an 04 base and deciding what to do first.
as everyone says its really just want you want the most..
i kinda got lucky mine came with eibach pro kit 1.2" drop, nismo wing, nimso LSD, and the popcharger.. so i got a few little things done.
Im getting rims as my first mod.. IMO if your going to mod the exterior you cant get a wing or kit w/o rims it doesnt look right
if you are going engine mods first and you have the popcharger allready maybe get the plenum spacer or the crawford plenum.
suspension you could get some springs to lower it or upgrade the strut bars/sway bars...
decide what you want the most and go for that first..
there are also some things that are free you can do
1. remove the rear window wiper (makes it look cleaner)
2. de-badge the car
for instance here is what my list consists of
1. 18x8.5 f +20 n 18x9.5 +20 r rims (ruff racing 279 or 278 most likely)
2. tinted windows, smoked headlight/taillight/sidemarker kit
3. greddy front lip, visage type A sides, still working on which rear i want
4. crawford plenum/ and the crawford strut bar so it fits
5. crawford headers
6. HKS exhaust
7. stoptech brake kit
its just figuring out what you want the most then save for it.
