Arrow 350z Modification Category - What category are you?

Not that there is a specific category but, I was wondering what you guys would consider lightly modded, mildly modded, and heavily modded. Where do you think your Z falls under??

I think my Z is still considered lightly modded. Exhaust, All intake components, TP's, Wheels, lowered, V2 front.

Lightly Modded

CAIntake
Headers
HFC's
Full Exhaust

For Looks:

Rims
Stereo
Engine Dress Up Kit
HID Conversion


With the install cost of the headers, it's up to a couple grand on performance parts. I got the headers and HFC's used for a good deal.

I probably spent another couple grand on the visable upgrades.

The price range discription above i think describes the categories fairly accurately. If you dont have a turbo or super charger your near stock, but taking a "lightly" modded title because you've spent some money and did do "something"

Heavily modded would be non street legal Z, or so suped up you shouldn't be on the street Good work Muzzy.

I would say mildly modded but I really haven't spent that much money overall. However, I've got most of the mods you can do on an NA Z.

Heavily modded, Leapord skin seat covers, a K20 swap and FWD conversion, a turbonator, and slicks to control the power....



I would say lightly modded is bolt ons, Mildly modded would be engine work, and FI gets you into the heavily modded category.

I'm bone stock except for XM radio.

My car's like a month old so the only thing i've done was take the "350Z" off the back and tinted the windows 20%. Ordering some CE28N Time attacks today though.
