Default 05 350z Tail Light and Other Ideas

The Situation:
So I was thinking about trading up my '05 350z Touring Coupe and getting a '10 370z Roadster but the cards aren't playing out well right now so chances are I'm keeping the 350z for at least another 2 years till it's paid off.

The Car: Like I said 350z Coupe, Black exterior, burnt orange seats, front bumper is crap because of all the rocks. 113,000 miles (mostly highway). Its got wear and tear but still runs pretty smooth considering. Everything is pretty much stock.

What I want to do: First, I need ideas for the tail lights, OEM is awesome and all but I want to change it up, any suggested on a low cost replacement. Then I'm looking for any ideas for improvements. I already got a new front emblem, the original is worn out from rocks of course, I got a S2000 antenna, and gonna grab new floor mats. I just need idea for other improvement. My car was the envy of all my friends but now the fading paint and wore look is killing it. Please help!!!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

113 is lots of miles. I am sure that it has taken a toll on the front bumper. Figure $700 for new bumper and paint. This one item will restore curb appeal.

Get on your detail game ASAP. Go buy a gl110v2, Meguiars m105, and Meguiars tech wax 2.0 and go crazy on that bish.

I keep in mind for the Meguiars stuff, its just a lot of money. Will the 06 headlights fit in an 05 with no problems? Same with the tail lights. I hate to say but I'm considering a bra for the front, worth it? Thanks again everyone for the input.
