Congratulations on your purchase. Be sure to check out the Marketplace for any items you are looking for.

Wow!Thats a bunch of stuff!
Depending on your finances,looks like you are going to have alot of fun with your Z.
I'f it were me,I'd get in my mind what you want the finished product(car) to look like,
rather than buying pieces that may not match the total theme of what you want.
Since your car is black,CF pieces will really go well on the body.
You really have too big of a list.Suggest you put things in "sections"...say,start with
wheels&tires,coil overs etc.Maybe next,engine stuff.It looks like your plans there are
pretty mild-POPCHARGER is a good add.
If you do go with CF pieces,look at quality stuff.Lips etc may need "fitting" to install.
Remember,if you are doing side skirts,front bumpers etc.,make sure that they match.
You may want a whole body kit?

Good luck!

 

Have you seen the CF hoods that are out there? All of the ones I've seen fit poorly. The gap between the hood and fenders are much wider than stock making the fitment look sloppy. And the the dollars they want for these, you'd think the fitment would be spot on. At the last Z Store meet I saw about 6 different Zee's w/ CF hoods, most by SEIBON and all had different fitments. Some gaps were bigger than others, some not so much. So take a look at some CF hoods installed before you lay your money down.

 

Sounds like you're planning to spend a ton of money!!!

 

Usually any aftermarket hood/fender/sideskirt bla bla bla isnt going to fit as good as stock unless you are planning on spending ALOT more than Seibon stuff...just sayin...

If you want perfect fitment, stock is the best alternative with the least amount of hassle if you ask me...

 

Wow. Gotta big list there. Congrats on the Z and post some pics of her! And I'd recommend Tanabe GF210 springs (1.0"/1.2") I have them and love them.

 

^NF210s might be better if he is trying to go for a more comfortable ride...

 

The aerosync looks nice, but my bodyshop really bitched about the quality. They had to sand down a bunch of pits.

 

pics or it didnt happen yet.

am i really the first to mention this?
You guys r slippin.

 

ty... noted. suppose i'll just tint my stock tail lights or something

i really have... not much of the stuff i want is on here/there.

i have pictured how i want the Z to look like... with a budget plan.
no full kit for me... just add ons... beside the front bumper
(have a feeling it will look like another typical Z on the street)

theme of the car will be black (car color) matt black / cf look
wheels wise... i love to get a hold of factory 18" Rays gunmetal

and here, i thought seibon is an awesome brand for cf products??
thanks for the heads up, i really would have thought that 20years later...
cf product i.e. hoods would fit nearly perfect by now. but i still want one!

i set a spending limit (i think!) and yes, already, i feel like im in a pit hole.
had to eliminate the bbk upgrade for now... maybe

totally agreed... thats why im steering away from full body kit.
trying to keep the look stock as possible with some add ons.

are these smooth and not bouncy?... if yes, i will look into it.
will i need to re-align the wheels just for 1inch drop?
camber kit/ toe camber thingy majing

not sure what is NF210s mean, but i'll google it
will i need to re-align the wheels just for 1inch drop?
camber kit/ toe camber thingy majing

i dont know if this make any sense (mostlikely it doesnt)
i want that sport ride but not bouncy, but yet comfortable on roadtrip

the aerosync is polyurethane, which is flexible?? its not fpr... i dont know.
i suppose a stock front bumper with an add on lips... that the 4pcs side
skirt add on would compliment it.. any suggestions???

it happened. going to have a week or two, to gather parts!!!

any places in houston, tx area where i can find a shop/parts/junkyard???
people you know that are parting out???

will buy parts from out of state if price is not ridiculous

thank you for all the replies/advices/comments. keep it coming.

 

welcome and congrats, pics?

 

wow so many questions i don't even know where to start

 

All those proposed goodies and no after market alarm mentioned, unless it already one. Noted you mention the remote start which can be factored in.

 

Their not bouncy at all, and yes very smooth IMO. and no camber kit is required nor have I aligned my wheels since then.

 

As many have said,most CF pieces need "fitting".Even the top of the line JDM
stuff:Chargespeed,INGS etc.need some trimming to fit well.However,anything by MINE'S usually fits like a glove(the selection is limited though).Hood can reall y be a pain.The dry carbon ones are great but will need a clearcoat.
Anything NISMO is gonna fit hands down...and the quality is great.
Seems that you could find those OEM 18" RAYS wheels...
On the front bumper,if you go that route,you almost have to add skirts,some type of rear treatment to put it together...unless your bumper is really conservative.

 

unless you like the "look" of carbon fiber.. there's no point in speeding $700ish on a carbon fiber hood.

 

after google tons of 350z images...
i might end up with either
a) nismo v1 styel all around
b) front add on lips, side+rear apron
c) stock with mud flaps.

............................... about cf... i just love how cf looks
im not going all out... just accent here and there to break up the glossy car color.

 

Glossy car color?So you are talking about going with DRY carbon fiber.
Regular CF has a high gloss urethane/clear coat.DRY is better,more$$$,
you won't find a big selection.
As for a lip...look at the Mine's CF...FITS PERFECT...matches the car design.
