Default New Z owner in Hawaii. need some advice.

Hello.
Im the NOOB! i just got my z before PCS'in to hawaii.
i made the transition from the Eurocar to JDM i was into E30's.
i picked up a 04 Redline.

Currently:
enclosed subs(2) tucked under the rear strut tower.
Injen CAI.

Plans:
Front Lip
Rear deck spoiler.
LED door sills and Rear strut light.
Head-back HKS style exhaust (it just looks bad ***)
Better fitting Wheels. FAT LIP

are there any misc. upgrades to the Z33 cars that owners do to make the car more efficient/looks nice. ex. mounts, washers, rubber replacement, is there anything i should look forward to get changed.
car has 62k miles on it?

sorry here are the pics.

i got the acura shorty antenna and it fits perfect and looks great.

i agree about removing the front plate unless its required in Hawaii (IDK)

also the popcharger intake is 90 bucks and is easy to install

Aloha and welcome to the forums and 'Oahu..... Although the front plate removal does look good, it is required, by Hawaii State law, to be mounted on your front bumper. It's sucks, but bike cops here will look for any little reason to give imports a ticket.... I blame the Honda owners (on Oahu) for that. Your Z is looking good... I have the Hks exhaust and if you want you can check it out, at one of our Thursday night meets.... Also if interested a local member here is selling his custom single exhaust, which looks and sounds bad @$$. A little more about the Z scene in Hawaii.....We have a club with Z enthusiast called " Oahu Z", we are about 15-20 deep, depending who shows to meets and events lol. With many pcs'ing to Oahu the Z scene is slowly picking back up. There are quite a few shows coming up which we will be attending, if your interested you can come check us out.....Oahu Z drivers can be found on the Region thread: Pacific, any question about our club, shops, parts, etc, can be answered there.

O...and about the fog lights DON'T DO IT....it's been done before but IMHO it does not look good
