Wow, really nice !!!!
Rear Spoiler
Pop Chargers / AEM CAI's
B&M Short Shifter
Then,
Subs
Exhaust
Seats ... I guess
Not a fan of lowering Z .... They start on hitting on every driveway. They handle pretty good the way they are. I'd try the car for 2-3 months then decide on that one.
I like the wheels..... Didn't use to .... But, chrome works on your car in this day in age. Back in '04 I would have said no.
Let the mods begin. I'm going through the same thing with the 370Z right now.
Rear Sub / Speakers
Touch screen Stereo / DVD
Tires
Leather seats or not?
CAI's I'm liking what I read about AEM over the Popcharger. Had Popcharger before but, people are saying AEM are better. I'll have to hear before I buy. Popchargers sound awesome. Don't really need exhaust with those unless you want the rumble just cruisin' around. The Popcharger sound comes on about 3K and sounds awesome after that. Need to see what AEM sound like.
They get 15hp 11tq on a 370Z. That would be nice... It might make the Z go into the 12's?
Megan exhaust
Etc....

I am enjoying mine after putting about 20K on her,bought at 24K miles for under 19K.She is my daily and besides routing oil changes,tire 'rotation',and rear diff drain/refill,she has been good.Daily driven 100 miles a workday,90% highway.Mixed nets about 23 mpg and highway cruising about 26-27mpg.Have a tran D/R coming in about 5K.
She has her little creaks,brake squeal here and there,easy scrape of some interior trim (door handles esp),but I can live with those things.Love the torque when I want to get on it without all the noise,but a beautiful stock tone.I have a small system in the car and of course space is not plentiful,but is suitable for my needs as a 500+ mile a week commuter(all I need is space for a laptop bag and phone).
Great car,and they are everywhere on car lots since the 370 is the hot ticket nowadays...can be had cheaper nowadays.Took me almost a year and some change to find that ONE.I had insurance on it by the time I got to the dealer and signed the paperwork with the dealer an hour later after a nice thrilling test drive.
She is my daily commuter and wont be modded,just wanted something powerful,not a gas guzzler (hello GTO), and could throw a system in it and call it a day.Nice for a daily,showcar or if you choose to go the FI route...

Thanks for the comments everyone. Right now im looking at ordering the tien springs and a set of 20mm spacers. That seems to be the best ones people tend to use on these cars. Obviously could change if I get different rims but for now that should be a good size spacer.
Looking to my 2 12"s in it but the audio store said it cant be done unless i want a huge flat box in the trunk are and they said these cars with that setup sound just awful. So now im trying to get a workable design for them to possibly accept. Might get lucky in the audio thread area and maybe someone has something already and I can buy from them.
And last, YES! I love driving it still! I need to take it easy and stop driving it for a bit as im burning through the gas. I am really wanting to hurry with the first of many boltons and look at getting it painted, however that part wont probably be till next year.

Dang, got my first couple of issues.
Tire sensor going off(haven’t had time to check to see if it’s the pressure
)
Wonderful window motor issues with these cars. It is working but sometimes when I hit the button to come up it will go rawrrrr
and then nothing so after a few times messing with it it will close.
Would like to not mess with it till it completely breaks but with my luck it would be when I got to work and need to close it before it rained later in the day.

Well guess Ill just turn this into my build thread as well LOL. Will kind of be cool to have a thread from before I bought the car to buying, building etc..
Ok so looking at getting some 20x11, 20x9 XXR 526 rims in silver. Yes there not the best but never taking to the track and just doing this car with the cosmetic look then who knows maybe one day do some performance fun with it. Also should be getting a sub box for my 2 12s in the very near future.
