Default what are these mods

If someone can explaine to me what these mods are I would so appreciate it. Horns, Clear side markers, Z side emblem (how many of these do you need) Carbon Fiber Replica Body Kit (what is the difference between the different types ie performance has 2 different kinds) Side Marks and pop something. I am assuming this has to dowith more power but can it be explained more clearly. I am trying to get my wish list and budget in order and it would be a great help if I knew what I was wishing and saving for.

Hopefully, you're being serious here. Horns-car horn, Nissan Z sport car horns. Clear side markers, reflectors being white instead of orange. Z side emblem-already on the car (side of car). Pop charger- JWT (Jim Wolf Technologies) air filter. THe other two you mentioned you either described yourself or I don't know what you're talking about.

this has got to be one of the weirdest posts I've read. Talk about the cart before the horse....

Any why do need to wish and save? Did someone tell you that you should have more power and look different?

No however looking at pics of other Zs I like the way that they look. As far as the horn thing I have never seen an actual picture of a car horn so how would I know what it is. I thought thats what it was but was not sure . Thats why I asked.
Sorry.

Replica body kits are just Copies of the Genuine NISMO(nissan racing division) kit. these are aero dynamic parts that replace your stock parts. Makes the car more sporty. it costs a few thousand to buy and and must be painted/installed at a shop. They arent really gonna give you performance and are mostly for looks.
Bumper has a lip on it. Wing is bigger. flaring sides Etc. These parts are available in Fiberglass(less expensive) or Carbon fiber(more expensive and really for looks in this case)
Look at the pics in the Gallery for different types of body kits you can add to your Z. Non of the mods you listed are for performance. they are just for looks.

You need to do some serious research on this site.
use the Search function up top and plan to spend more than
a few hours here if you want to learn anything.

That horn thingy is what is making that "beep, beep" noise behind you when you are making your way down the road to your manicurist job.

CF replicas shouldnt be painted, all that Im aware of are overlays on a fiberglass base. meaning there is no weight or structure benefit, the overlay is there for appearance only, to paint over the CF would totally defeat the purpose.
