Just look around. Swapping head units is a good thing, tunes are a nice thing that you can hear daily. Sway bars are nice, you can feel them every time you drive. Wheel are great if they are in your price range.

Typically nice and cheap don't mix.

Search around the Marketplace on this site to try to snag a deal or two. (https://my350z.com/forum/marketplace-78)

Tint is great. Bra ??? Does your car have ****? CF hood, lame. The stock hook is light, and made from aluminum. The only reason to replace it is for a heavily build car that needs cooling vents in it. Save you money for something worth while.

+1000000000 and they all turn yellow after awhile.

My VS hood is green almost, and its not any lighter than the stock, but it gets to be 119 degrees here, the vents are the reason i chose it... its right over the intake too.

cf hood? dont do it. Very little point, and a cf hood on a stock car, meh.

Suspension work, even on stock wheels w spacers, is your number one focus.. how many miles on the car? if youre over 60k, its time to replace alot of stuff up there. Good news is that when you do, the car gets noticeably better and better at every part replaced.

CF hoods aren't my style but some people love them, do whatever YOU like the most

i agree with bmccann that a cf hood on a stock car is sorta lame tho lol

plenum/plenum spacer, intake, exhaust, suspension all have their benefits, are you going for looks? nicer handling? more hp? sick audio? figure out what direction you want to go with the car, and start there...then search your a$$ off

Yea... get the hood wrapped if that's the route you want to take, instead of spending $500+ on one. You could do other great things with $500

25mm Hubcentric wheel spacers on all 4 wheels.. IMO, that has to be one of the best, and most inexpensive things you can do to enhance the appearance.. It will give the car a whole new performance look..

i prefer go than show. 5/16th plenum spacer and JWT pop charger is best bang for buck.
sway bars are great for handling purposes.
but if u must go cosmetics first... lowering springs with wheel spacers gives it a very nice aggressive look.

Glare strip, sun strip or tint strip, never heard it called a brow. Twin turbo, hope you have $12k to $20k to do it.

Make sure you have another $8k sitting around when the motor blows up too.

Car paid off yet? That $6k should go to the note... own it before you mod it.
