Default What can I get to make the Z look aggressive an mean on a budget?

I have a budget of 3k of upgrades

I want to make my 350z aggressive and meaner looking!! Low stance


1.Even drop on eibach sport line springs (2-3in I guess, I want it leveled meaning the rear end isn't higher)
2. Front Bumper (lip)? Will I need side skirts if I get it lowered?
3.How about a rear bumper tuck?
4.Eye lids for front lights
5.chrome rims? 18"


Give me some suggestions guys"how to make a z look aggressive,low and mean"



I do not mind if the parts are knock offs

Thank you

Eye lids LOL, may as well but eye lashes on them while your at it. I thought you said mean, not RICE/LAME. The chrome rims to top it off, is this a joke, are we getting trolled?

There's plenty of mods to do to make it aggressive on the cheap.

Bumper tuck - FREE
Black wheels - $1,000+
Blacked out lights, emblems. - 2 cans of paint / Plasti Dip
New springs/spring mount mod - $400
Front, lower bumper area painted black - Can of paint/ Plasti Dip
Front lip - $400
Polished stock bumper - 6 varied grits of sandpaper, polishing wheel, drill, polishing compounds, metal polisher.
Wheel spacers - $120

Just some things that are pretty simple and not too bad in the budget.

Nice(ish) wheels and a drop will probably work, also factor in another $700 to $900 for tires.

Assuming this is serious haha

Rear wiper and spray delete. Makes the car flow better.

With 3k I would get bc coils with a light drop so you won't need other suspension parts
then maybe some cheap rims like rotas or varssteons as a temp set up.
A n1 lip rep would cost around 130 ish


Imho blacking out lights is pretty ugly lol but it is a cheap mod if you like that style. I like a simplistic style so no eye lids either haha. Use that money and get a nice tint.

Okay factor in $700 for tires, but everything else really isn't bad as long as you do them correctly and tastefully.

My post isn't there to give exact accurate prices, its mainly just ideas for beginning mods. Of course you can get springs for $50, or you can get them for $500, and same principle goes with everything else. Depends where you want to buy it and what quality you're willing to dish money out on.

Personally I haven't done any of the mods besides the bumper tuck, wheel spacers, and lightly tinted taillights, so I don't know why I'm really defending them.
