ummm just enjoy the car as is for a couple of weeks/months because "PIMPING THE **** OUT OF IT" is not cheap. and if your cheap on your car your car will look cheap.. just my opinion...

Bran BranZ33 has a good point. Save up, in the long run it will look so much better if u buy quality stuff. Not only that, but the mods u buy will hold up longer and enhance the car further. For now if u want cheap stuff i would do the following: Tint, Shorty antenna, Clear markers in front, wax the hell out of it, and maybe buy suspension to lower it.

As long as you have your priorities right (car first), minimum wage does not matter. You will find ways to skip meals or rob a bank for it. j/k
Modding this car ain't cheap. I've spent about 10 g's already and I still have a month before I get my ride. But when I get it...I'm gonna throw my wallet a beating...
But yea take care of it first...use Zaino!! us Asians like shiny cars...but who doesn't?

The biggest differences/best starting mods IMO are rims and exhaust. Since rims cost big money, with 1g, I would probably go with exhaust. If you shop it right (see the user classifieds on this board), you can probably get Exhaust AND suspension for around $1000. I know a guy who will be selling his Invidia exhaust (like mine) soon because he is getting sick of how LOUD it is...lol. The Invidia/RSR is the loudest, cleanest exhaust that Ive heard for the Z to date, and Ive heard a LOT of Z exhausts. The most sophisticated sounding exhaust IMO is the NISMO, it sounds a lot like a sport bike at wide open throttle, but isnt nearly as loud as the invidia. He will be selling it for around $400, Ill keep you posted. As far as suspension goes, hotchkis and tein are always good bets, stay away from eibach, I know a few guys who REALLY didnt like it.

Im pretty much the same deal, dont know wut to spend money on modding it. I have a current 8grand saved up and after this summer another 12. I dont know if i wanna spend it all on the car because i dont know how long i want to keep it. I could just save up to buy a new/better car....The only problem i have with modding it is that i hear the re-sale value wont hold as well. Meaning the money that i put into it wont be added to it when i sell it. ANY IDEAS
