Default Questions about mods

Hello Everyone!

I am a new 350z owner 2006. got it almost 3 months ago. And I think everyone in my town got the same damn car! Its a blue roadster, and now i see so many on the road its crazy! I was wondering about exterior mods. First I was thinking changing the orange lights to clear.. Second I was planning on getting blue headlights. Third I was thinking about changing the emblem to one that lights up at night. last i wanted to change the interior lights from orange to blue or purple. got any comments? or suggestions. I would really appreciate it!

Thanks
Danielle

well, the mod that stands out the most I believe, is the wheels. Get some aftermarket wheels, and the look of the car will change dramatically. Maybe lower it some while you're at it. I wouldn't touch the lenses or make things light up. The body is clean the way from the factory.

clear lenses is kool, and the bulbs in the headlights r fine, but u could get a front lip, that would stand out on the car from the front view, search on here for a front lip kit, and u should find soemthin u like, and their pretty cheap!
