So, I just got my Z and I'm itching to do something to it. Since I'm just a lad I don't have too much money.(Probably about 100 dollars or so) So, what are some cheap/free things to do to her, other than washing and waxxing it?

IMO, there's nothing cheap about tastefully modding a Z. Besides a $50+ shift ****, everything else is gonna cost you $300 minimum. And that's if you can find a set of springs that will get you a subtle enough drop to align without a camber/toe kit.

Hundred bucks? Umm..K&N drop in air filter. Thats about $35-$45. K&N claims a 5 to 6 HP bump.

Air freshener, plastic hood scoops, chrome rubber molding, turbo stickers. Yeah baby yeah.

Oil catch can, shift ****, used intake, used TP, lug nuts, intake duct, floor mats, larger rear view mirror, black out headlights, etc... there's a lot you can do w/o much money.

For the cost of a few screws you can tuck your rear bumper. However this only looks good with aftermarket exhaust. And only certain ones at that.

For a hundred bucks, you can (1) change most of your bulbs out to a fancy color or super whites; or (2) get a bunch of detailing/cleaning supplies and clean your car up real nice; or (3) get some decent synthetic oil, filter, and crush washer and change your oil; or (4) S2k antenna and a decent shift ****; or (5) get your rear hatch tinted (possibly the two small rear windows as well)....


...if you want anything "real" you'll have to save up. Most mid-level mods are at least $300-500...good luck to you and let us know how you spend that hund-o?

Well, I'm gonna stay away from the stickers, and it's an automatic so can I change the shift ****? And with the K&N air filter, would I just pick that up at a local Autozone?

Ya, I was going to say black out the head lights.
Just make sure you allow adequate time for the paint to dry or it'll thrash the lense interior.

cant go wrong with limo tint.

Hopefully he is not 15 yo base on the username... but it could be since the Z its an auto, he's broke and does not have more than $100, doesn't know what to do with the car, etc....

sure, you can change the **** on an AT, but why? You can also get a leather boot for about $100 to make your AT look like a manual...but again, why? Most Autozone/Kragen's carry K&N or they can order it. If you have a single intake, you should be able to get a drop-in filter for $100 or so.

Just remember, most "mods" under $100 must be picked out carefully or your car will look CHEAP and ricey. A couple of nice pieces go a much longer way than a bunch of useless add/stick-ons. My 2 cents.

S2k antenna is something I should have bought 3 years ago.

I'm 15, but I'm not going to "rice" the car out. I think the car looks fine the way it is. I was talking about stuff like, getting rid of the antenna that sticks out, a new air filter like the dude said, feel me?

I think your best bet is an S2k Antenna, new air filter etc. Other than that, just concentrate on not crashing it into a ditch, tree, pedestrian etc.

It has been 15 years, and I haven't crashed yet.
