When I start modding, I'm gonna go with the grounding kit first. It's the simplest, cheapest, and it makes your engine bay look cool.

Dude.... You absolutely have to paint your brake calipers before any of the above.

i've had problems with painting callipers....i havent found ne paint that can hold up under the heat, even though they're supposed to be able to withstand it. i end up having to paint a new coat every year.

what color should the callipers b paited with a le mans sunset colored car ne way?

maybe if i can find a good type or calliper paint ill do it.

Since you have a Lemans Sunset, I would try to paint them the same color that comes on the Track model's calipers. Not sure if it's the exact same color as Sunset, as I have never really compared them, but it's pretty close.

As soon as I get my Z roadster, I'm getting

3M Clear Bra [$300]
Eibachi Springs [$200]
Paint brake calipers to red [$100]
NOS (wet, 100 hp on tap, switch in ashtray) [$900]
Wheels, baked powder, black [$200]

If I have to choose one, it would be the clear bra.

I don't feel the intake and exhaust is effective as the ECU componsate for it.

To be a know-it-all it is Eibach, not Eibachi.
I believe it is a german company not Japanese!

PS for those of you about to paint your calipers, please do not. A subtle color like black is acceptable IMO and cleans up the ugliness of stock brakes, but to paint your calipers a color like look-at-me-red seems a bit poserish! like someone who wants big brakes buut cant afford them.
honor the Z; keep it simple and keep it clean. Keep it real!!!
