Does adding a NAV count? That is the only mod I have or will do. Except the new hood, both front fenders, both headlights, front bumper; let's just say all new body from the windshield forward and a new air bag and dash pad. Get it back in just a few days YIPPEEEEE!

based on cost alone, it should be considered a mod.

WHY? The Z is a very nice car as the designers intended it. So many things that people do to "improve" their car simply screws it up.

Car came with a Quaife LSD...sweet

One thing I will never do is exterior mods. I've yet to see any exterior mods that don't looke ricey, overly trendy,or over the top or some combination of all 3.

i've had my car for less than 90 days but i think i've done pretty well for having the car about 2 months.. mods are in sig and the car was bone stock when i bought it.

i agree somewhat witht he people who said they dont like exterior mods. i only like body mods that are clean and subtle. i like my body mods to be subtle enough that it makes the car look better but to your average person, they might not even notice that i have the body mods. my aerosync front bumper for example. it's the same shape as the stock bumper, it just has a small lip, and a clean but differant than stock grill

I bought my '03 Touring (-nav) on Wednesday, so I gotta hold off for a while. Keeping it NA, but definitely doing some engine & suspension work. I like the Bose sound well enough, so I don't see much reason to change that.. diggin the CD changer in it, just wish it played MP3's. One thing I know for sure I'll do is build a carPC into it. Only thing hotter than a 350Z is a 350Z with LINUX!!

i'm bone stock. love it. i am totally over the "modding" bs
i've fully built from the ground up a couple 240s. (motor swaps/complete motor rebuilds, body work, cages, all susp pieces, etc)
a couple stupid "mods" only make the z look and feel like a kid's car.
aftermarket wheels and exhausts scream "dumb kid" to regular adults.
an intake, exhaust, pulleys, etc cost a ton of money you'll never get back and make no noticeable difference in performance.
"modding" cars just to mod them is for kids in civics. (how many "what part should i get next threads?" have you seen here? people mod their cars just to compete in a parts race with people- not to enhance performance/apperance)
how many sigs with mod lists are on this board? (those people are losers with someting to prove)
go all the way with a purpose and some taste or LEAVE THE CAR ALONE! (racing, carshows, drift, etc)

the above is just my opinion, calm down.

+1 I'm all for modding if you want more peformance but I think people get way to caught up in modding for the sake of modding. Especially with just appearance parts.
