Seat time. Go do an HPDE or something. It's the most useful mod you can do.

If you're on a budget, dont mod yet. Best mod is hold your money in your pocket for now. The car looks great!!!
When you do have extra cash, personaly I go for the carbon fiber hood.

nice looking Z, but i'd get the golf cart instead. Specially being in college!!! Gets you around the campus!

But personally, i like to go with engine work as my top choice on the mod list. If the car looks good, but a honda civic can blow you away on the road whats the point? Since you in college, and im guessing you'll be driving the car around your campus? If you go with looks, there might be some ahole out there that will bang it up on you. My car looks somewhat stock so i'm able to go to the mall, or movies and not worry about theft.

I went with rims and rubber first and those are 18s by the way. I guess you have to decide what you want your car to be. Do you want a show queen or a track demon. Regardless have a plan because it sucks to buy something and change your mind. Don't get in a rush with the mod bug. I promise you it will bite hard enough on its own. Like others said here learn to drive her because we do not want you to be the next I wrecked my Z thread. The car can get away from you quick especially if you don't know her quirks. You have a beautiful car. enjoy it!

You can add a plenum spacer. It's the best bang for the buck for 06 and below Z's.
