I am asking now because I have seen a few ZR's for sale that already have mods done to them.

I want to make sure certain brands are good quality and not just slapped
together.

first, get an exhaust system that will work with FI down the road(at least 2.75")

haha, i'm going to do that with the nismo exhaust, that's for sure.

btw, your car is freaking modded. I didn't even know you had all that stuff. This whole time i thought you had some rims and a kit.

I think I may have a ZR picked it out. It is an 04 touring, silverstone with the orange/black seats. Nav, heated, pretty much everything I have been looking for. The price seems pretty decent too. It has 29K miles and they want 20500 for it.

How much should I try to talk them down to. I was thinking about offering 20K and then put down around 3000-4000K when I sell the wifes Accord.

The car is completely stock right now.

The mods are why I have cheap rims on the car.

Default modding the roadster

Mods are e-v-i-l. You must resist. It's all part of a plot by a subversive group known as SEMA to keep the Z brothers down. If you let them control you, you'll be working for the Man.....

I think you should do it, but you need to get rid of the Burnt Orange vented seats. If you get it, give them to me. Ill make sure i dispose of them properly

When I first got my completely stock ZR I posted a thread asking what I should do to get the most bang out of my buck horse power wise. Alot of people said to do test pipes and spacer. That with either one I would notice a difference. Some people mention the difference is night and day. Well I did both at the same time and didnt notice much at all.

+1000 for saving up and going FI.

it all depends on what you want and like... some people like to do cosmetics, some like performance and some like a bit of both... which ever way you go it's a matter of personnal choice...

I would like to see more roadsters to have some kind of mods done to them... not that i do not like the stock look...

here is mine.
