Yikes ssk 100 you started this thread at 52K lets see where your at in say a year from now. Only 18 more to go. Body kit custom paint ,sunroof.new tires and rims lambo doors, interior mods, you'll be there mark my words....Just looked over your mods. I see big brake upgrade 4500, suspension 2500, lambos 3000,powered sunroof 1000. body kit with paint & install 3500 Need I say more???

BTW you've got to change that antenna to a shorty Honda S 2000 $36.00 just to get you started again oh yet Clear Bra $300 installed and Random Tech Cats $650 installed.

No way are you done Don't kid yourself.

I know you are right!!! I am sure i will be there. I just got my car in May. In a year it wont even look like a Z anymore. I guess I better make sure I keep my job.

Brakes are defintely next, along with suspension and funny you mention sunroof. I just contacted Corona sunroofs to discuss.

I'll see you at the $70k mark soon enough

You want to be really scared , how about a Roadster to go with that lonely coupe and it starts all over again. Laugh at me will you!!! I've. talkeed to American Sunroof in Santa Ana and they will do one for $800 but figuare tax and incidentals a 1000 is more reasonable to figare on.

Under a Grand American Sunroof Company do a search, they have 4 stores ,,,the Santa Ana store ,I know has done roofs on 2 Zs cars and I've seen them both Very clean jobs and the owners love them. Jritolii a redline ati Z car and someone from the So Cal Z forum in a Brickyard Z. Never watch them work it will kill you to see them take a saw-zall to your roof. Takes 2 days. On mondays they can get them in Am- Pm out if you can't bear to be away from your baby.

Its a electric spoiler type install.

After the first mod, I decided I better not think about how much I spent. When you start doing that, you wonder wtf you were thinking. I dunno, ignorance is bliss and I like the way my car looks.

You know whats nice about this thread is that you get the current relative value index for future mods.. And we have new guys on this board all the time. Some with brand new cars and over flowing wallets. Happy modding to all of you.
