Default New Mods

New to the forum and also new to my Z I just bought about a month ago.
Was wondering if yall could give me some ideas of any small/cheap mods that really make a difference more to the exterior part of the car?

I was thinking maybe blackout the tail lights & little stuff like that.

Windows are tinted & I have HID headlights.

Short antena and clear reflectors. Window tint also changes the overall appearance of your car drastically

No antenna at all (who the fck listens to the radio nowadays?), plastidip (forgive me guys)/black wrap/paint/carbon fiber looking wrap the roof black (it's a nice touch and looks real sexy on white cars). Maybe some nice little snap on brake calipers that are red, blue, orange, yellow, gold, silver or black. Wash the car, clay bar it, polish it, add a nice carnuba wax then some spray on wax as a second coat to bring out even more shine, scrub the rims real good, then BAM!!! Your Z will be looking fresh.

If it involves a spray can, there will be a drastic change, it is the fastest way to add rice to a car.

For future reference, don't ask about the cheapest mods. You'll either get flamed immediately, or someone will recommend things like caliper covers and plastidip, and maybe all those cool stick on air vents from advanced auto. (Which I saw on a Z the other day... ) and the recommender will be flamed. Now, if you seem to want to plastidip anything, keep it to yourself and off of this site. Or be prepared for burns of the fourth degree. Lol Some of the users here are pretty strict about what goes on.
