Default What to add next?

Just finished my car.

And it pretty much looks complete to me.

I'm thinking about just adding some side splitters.

Not sure what else i could really do.

I really love bbk's but i'm not sure it's worth the price tag..

looks phenomenal man, can't wait until I have the funds to make mine look that good. BBK's would be awesome, what have you done for performance mods? If it is pretty much stock you could try and match the look with the performance. Maybe swaybars, braces, or even really save your funds and go FI
Can't wait to see what you do, one of the best looking Z's on the forum.
Don't mean to change topic, but could you PM me your wheel/tire setup and drop too? Trying to figure out how I'm going to lower mine

If i were you i would black out your rear blinker/reverse lights on the bumper. I wouldn't do much else to it as far as cosmetics though. There's a fine line between rice and nice.

Car is tuned to 300whp, test pipes authentic HKS exhaust, injen cold airs and uprev.

My wheels are 18x10+22 with 265/35 tires

Rears are 18x11 +16 285/35 tires

I'm lowered on kw v1 coilovers not sure how low though, nothing crazy by any means.

Your car looks great! I don’t know what you could do to improve the exterior, suspension, or wheels/tires. You are “there.”

What about the interior and A/V… maybe new seats or new covers? How about a new aftermarket CES?

Thanks for posting the pics. It’s fun to see a car that turned out as nicely as yours did. --Spike

Love your setup now :thumb up:

+1 to sway bars, they make surprisingly big difference, even with coilovers.

Exerior-wise, any thoughts of a wiper delete?

I really love that front lip any info you could give me on how to find one of my own, your ride is sweeeeeeeet!!! Don't change a thing, you might look into getting a BBK setup through the nismo shop just google it, there the Akebono kit Nissan decided to start putting these brakes on the new 370Z front and back calipers and rotors and all hardware about $1,500 you also have to get the front mounting brackets there another 180.00-200.00 more dollars. this is a really good deal for a BBK kit this is the route I'm going,I also forgot one of our sponsors-www.z1motorsports.com also carry them goodluck with your progress!!!

That's a pretty impressive number for the minimal mods on the car. Who did your tune? Can you post up dyno sheet?

My car was at a similar level of mods when I made a thread asking the same thing. I had bolt ons with a tune, nismo v2 kit, wheels, coilovers, plus some other minor stuff. You car already stands out more than mine did at that similar level though because of your color and the aggressiveness of the amuse kit compared to the nismo. Mine looked to me like it needed more so since then I've put on a front and rear BBK and a seibon hood. Those would be good options for you along with what others have said; deleting the rear wiper and blacking out the reverse lights. Leave the tail lights alone though.

There's are the splitters I'm talking about they're kind of universal.
