Here is my old car...Might follow the same theme, but do gunmetal aftermarket wheels. I painted my stockers to get away from stock look, cause i cant afford wheels right now. I got X02 Exhaust and Eibach Springs right now.

Plans:

- Tint 5% rear, 35% front
- Intake - undecided on which.
- Intake bumper vent
- Carbon Lip
- Clear Corners on front bumper
- Rims - Most likely Rota Grids or of the sort
- diffuser
- Subtle spoiler
- Turbo kit - far future, maybe after its paid off

Now this is my opinion...my opinion


- Tint 5% rear, 35% front---great
- Intake - undecided on which.---a used nismo is always good
- Intake bumper vent---Wat, you have a nice color, so no
- Carbon Lip---great
- Clear Corners on front bumper---was never a fan
- Rims - Most likely Rota Grids or of the sort---no just say on the classified section deals all the time since you in cali. Very big market
- diffuser---great
- Subtle spoiler---that's gonna be hard to choose
- Turbo kit - far future, maybe after its paid off ---Waste of time

Thanks for the Advice!! What you mean by I have a nice color so dont do the bumper vent? A carbon hole in my bumper isnt sexy? lol Well the Turbo kit is 7k...probably wont happen anyway

I know you don't see many daytona blue Z's rollin around..

sexy depends on what you going for in the end...and a bumper vent says aggressive, so the rest of the car better be aggressive...
