Default New Z, Looking for JDM Ideas

Just recently picked up an 03 Z Touring and love the car, Previous cars were:

97 Eagle Talon TSi AWD
92 Mitsu Eclipse GSX
03 Dodge Neon SRT4

None of my previous cars have a big "Exterior Mod" following, its pretty much all performance which i like but now that i own something with TONS of options im looking for some guidance. Just trying to get some ideas, not trying to be "mad JDM yo" but looking for some simple things to do besides just the Fairlady badge. I like the left rear reverse light being replaced by the red Fog for poor weather conditions but i am looking for other little things besides this and the fairlady tail lights. Pics, websites, anything would be great.

Couple shots..

Welcome! Usually when I hear people say something along the lines of "I wanna go JDM with it," the car turns out really bad so be careful.

when i say foglight, im not talking in the front of the car, im talking about the EDM/JDM light the replaces the LR reverse light/directional. It turns it into a directional and a rear running "fog" for bad weather which is required on vehicles there so the car can be seen easier from behind during foggy conditions.

interesting, just on the EDM models, thanks guys. Im going to have to search the media section for some ideas. Not looking to go crazy with the car just looking for little things to make it a little different then the other "stock looking" Z's in the area. Wheels and stuff will come later on.

Welcome to the forum. Have a good look around the site, there's stacks of useful information. Listen to Adam, he speaks sense and knows Z's.

Is your steering wheel on the right side?


If not, don't put a Fairlady badge on it.

Welcome to the forums. Stay away from 350z JDM parts, they'll break your bank account...
