None of what I said is acceptable? Okay, here's the nono list, of which you'll probably choose from.
Ebay Z taillights
Black-out taillights/headlights
Plasti-dip everything you can get your hands on
Nismo stickers everywhere
Vinyl wrap roof
Fake carbon fiber wrap things
De-badge
Ebay wing
Racing stripes
Hmmm I could go on...

Why would you ask a group of people you don't know to select mods for you? Just find something you like and do it. There is an entire internet full of bad ideas for you to choose from.

I have a Daytona Blue and swapped out the orange reflectors up front to clear. I think it looks good.
Maybe one of the cheapest "mods" is switching to a stubby antennae. I bought mine at an Acura dealer for like $7.00 and it works great!

It's called San Marino Blue
These are actually pretty good suggestions.
I'll add these as well since I would say they are both cheap and un-ricey:
Please don't do all the LEDs. That is about the least classy thing you can do to a car. Even Audi's are beginning to look ridiculous with all the eagle wing looking daytime running lights.

- window tint
- wheel spacers
- lowering springs (cheap unless you do it right and get camber/caster/toe arms/bolts)

I concur with these. Very reasonable mods for the price!

OP, I think the best visual upgrade is a combination of lowering and wheel (with more aggressive offset.)
You could go cheaper and get the Eibach Sportline Springs and Varrsteon TE37 knockoff wheels or cheaper Enkei wheels. (please no flaming I'm not going to spend 3 grand on volks.)
Or you could go more expensive and get coilovers with a nice wheel brand. Volk/Enkei/etc
I guess to some it up is I think the best mod would be lowering and if you go the cheapest route I would just get the Sportline springs from Eibach. It will transform the look of your Z. Even with stock wheels.

You could paint your door handles. Cost less than $9 and and maybe an hour of labor. Not sure how it'd look on different color Z's, I've seen it on black and silver and they look great.
I did mine yesterday.

Some may not like it, but to each his own. As long as you're happy with the result.

Way more than you wanted to spend but...Mines lip, shorty antenna, spacers, lower it, and tint the windows. G35 rear mud guards also seem to finish off the rear end nicely. Just my opinion though, ask 100 people and you'll probably get 102 answers on what you should do.
