Default First mods for a Brickyard...?

I need help choosing some first (cheap) mods for my new brickyard...

I have already decided that i will nite shade the tails, going with black wheels with polished lip, and i want to do some CF.

how are the fairlady blacked out side markers as terms of quality and looks? what about fairlady badging?
What CF parts?
Which body kit/lip kits are the most liked that dont degrade the lines of the Z and are still simple and clean cut?
How is quality of EBAY body kits/lip kits and everything else..i know some cars are okay to deal with on ebay and others are just crap quality...I need some good sellers people have dealt with before either on ebay or even members of this site!

In the future i will go f/i but for now i just want some easy things to do to really improve the look of the car..not that it even needs it!

Thanks...Tiffany

Well the infamous popcharger is a great first mod, the Nismo V2 kit looks great on the Z and doesnt take away from the curves, the Volk Racing wheels are very popular on the Z's, CF pillars, CF lip for front bumper, CF canards, Nismo Exhaust... there are tons of things to do, just have to search some of the threads and see what you like personally. Good luck with the Brickyard

also..which exhaust system (in your personal opinion because everyones is different) has the deepest sound while still not restricting air flow for future f/i?

also...how hard are the air intakes to install..(this is coming from someone who has installed them before and helped with f/i before)

My personal favorite is the quieter Nismo, Fujitsubo, and Fast Intentions. The fast intentions exhaust is new to the Z, deep sound, good for F.I. from members I talked to that have G35's. HKS is a very well made exhaust system as well as the Greddy TT but too loud for me.

Intakes are esy to install IMO.
