What would you do if you had $1000 to spend on your stock 350Z? What mods really made a difference to you? made you feel like it was really worth it?

Edit:
1. Been to the strip club.
2. Got the dog.
3. I have no patience for saving up for wheels (sad but true).

You have a $1,000 but don’t list a location. Are you paranoid about burglars?

Default sharing from experience

my first purchases and afterthought.

1. Seibon CF hood: Just sitting in my garage (If my car wasn't SB I'm sure i would of put it on right away)
I worry that if I put it on it would look incomplete a sorry attempt of modifying my car so right now I just wax it and think about other CF peices for cheap to get to have a complete look.
2. Volk GT7s: Sitting in my garage I was deciding if I wanted to use the TPS sensors, but I'm just going to wait until I wear out the tires so it should be on my car later on today.
I think Rims can make a drastic change to the way your car looks my car is SB so I got the black with silver lip to accentuate the color.
3. Eclipse AVN unit/ Rear View Camera : Couldn't be any happier with this purchase. Ive been driving around just to play with the nav,audio, and whatever settings I find.
4. Tint: Elitewindowtinting scheduled tommorow morning I think I'm going with 20% tint.

I think it just depends on what your trying to get out of the car. I just want more an aesthetic effect so I went with those purchases, but if your more into the driving aspect I suggest the I/H/E approach or suspension. My next purchase is going to be suspension if that helps.

Im bored at work so hence the long post.

Does the POP Charger void the Nissan Warranty?

If you get all that for less than $1000, half of it is a) not gonna work and b) gonna break. No need for a Popcharger... sure thing, if you don't want to make power. Short shifter? Waste of money... the stock throw is short as hell.

If I had $1000 that I could only spend on the Z, it would be a V2 front bumper and Nismo sideskirts. Or I would get the MREV-2 + Spacer, tint the windows, and buy another bracket for my passenger Sparco Torino seat.
