Question emblem+lids, spoiler, or bumper cover?

Hello all, Over Christmas i have acquired enough money to buy one of the following:

1: Fairlady Z emblem and CF eyelids
2: A Nismo Spoiler (rep)
3: CF 06+ Bumper cover

If youd like pics, please request and ill get some

I would like some opinions on which i should buy, as this will be my first mod and i am fairly new to the 350Z (06 Silverstone GT). In the end i realize this will be my decision, but opinions would be appreciated!

Thanks
Jeremy

Save more money, I know it's hard cuz you want something for your car but buy wheels first.

nismo spoiler with a stock body looks out of place. eyelids are tacky. emblems should be last on the list of priorities. bumper cover... meh.

if you do really do like the GT wheels then go for some spacers and a drop for a more aggressive look. trust me on this one. as for a spoiler, if you are gonna keep the stock body, look into the evo-r blitz spoiler.

i will be adding a couple things to the body, nothing huge cuz i like the simple and clean look, so the spoiler wouldnt be going on for a little while, i just found one i could afford so i figured i could get it now.

As for your other options, i cant afford them with this, and its more of a universal gift card, so im not sure if i could save up more on it. If none of these seem like a good idea, i can always wait ^_^

Thanks!

i retract my previous statement of being able to wait...my gift card has an expiration date.

So, with this in mind, i would like to know what you guys would buy for your Z with about $100. ANY opinions are welcome!

Thanks

I love my 25mm wheel spacers (rear only). Make a nice beefy look from the back without stepping up in tire size, and evens out the tires with the fender wall. But that's an OCD issue.

s2k antenna

$20 more for a popcharger

Titanium shift ****?

I don't know. It's hard to buy anything WORTHWHILE for the Z with $100

If you want some *simple* aesthetic mods for ~$100 I would suggest two different routes.

1. DIY (Do it Yourself) - Best results for your money!
-Paint your headlights ($30 in material costs)
-Paint your wheels ($40 in material cost)
-Full detail ($20-$50 depending on what you have for detailing already)

2. Buying directly (if you don't feel like DIY, the following are relatively cheap and nice mods)
-s2k Antenna ($15-$20 here or on ebay)
-FairladyZ emblem ($30 on ebay - make sure it's athentic from Nissan of Japan - I have gotten tons of compliments on mine)
-Clear or Smoke color front side markers ($30-$40 looks really clean!)

Or, if you're just not feeling any of the above...

Take your girl on a nice dinner date!

If you don't have a girlfriend then find a decent girl and then ask her on a date. If I were you I'd do this over the other two routes It's more rewarding then $100 on the Z...

Get the clear front reflectors. Also what everyone has said about getting some spacers looks real good on the GT wheels.

Like some of the guys have already said that $100 bucks isn't much.
1. Zlogo emblem or FairladyZ or the Big Z emblem from courtesy
2. shorty antenna
3. theft proof Z logo air valve covers
4. Z logo or Nismo Radiator Cap or oil cap
5. Aftermarket shift ****

Just slightly over a hundred.
1. JWT POP-Charger w/heat shield
2. Carbon fiber cooling plate from Autotecknic (the best)
