Default confused

Hey guys, i own a 2005 350z for about 2 years now and no modifications have been done besides changing to a temporary exhaust. Could I get some suggestions as to whether I should change my body kit first then modify the engine or vice versa. I wanna supercharge my car and I'm worried if I modify the body kit first then supercharge the car i might have to do some changes to my body kit... suggestions required plz...

besides that, I'm kinda confused between 2 exhausts- the Greddy Evo2 or the Hks Hi Power TD exhaust.... recommendations?

My suggestion is to create a mental picture of what you want the car to look like and what you want out of the car. Track car...show car...blvd bully???? It makes a big difference.

IMHO If you want a street car then put your $$$ into the engine first .
Show car??....then put the cash into bodykits, rims & interior.
Supercharging your car will have almost nothing to do with your bodykit.

I would rather **** on someone when they pull up then look better. Beating them is always better.

Engine 1st then work around that

Your first mod should be a my350z.com window decal.

You should FI your car if you have $15k to spend and do it right.
You should put a body kit on if you want it to look like rice.

How about wheels and tires to start? Relatively cheap and easy.

About your question regarding which FI kit... take a read: https://my350z.com/forum/forced-indu...for-noobs.html

What he means is. Install a Turbo that is worth more then what the car probably is these days. You'll be fine!

Yes, it is a waste of money unless you already have a career, house and money you can throw in the fire! You are better off spending $45k on a Z06 and not worry about blowing it up.

What does Temporary exhaust mean? For starters.

If you've had it for 2 years with no mods, why bother now?
