350z noob, purchase, best mod?
just purchased a 2008 enthusiast model, 6spd, pikes peak white with powdercoated black rims. she allready has a magnaflow cat back system, and K&N dual intake. Its dark and raining so ill post pics later!
But I wanted to ask what the "One" best "must do" mod is for an 08.
I am an excited new Z owner, just want to do her right and give her whats needed!!
Thanks in advance, I promise pictures as soon as it stops raining in SATX.

Depends on what category of mod you are looking to do.
Or,what interests YOU.
Is it performance?Looks?Sound?
Its sorta a different strokes for different folks deal.
Its beyond me why some guys tackle the sound system as a first...?
But...looks like you do have a few performance related mods already on your Z.
Depending on your budget,I'd opt adding a spacer(FYI-plenum spacer..raises up the front
of the silver thing that sits on top of your engine...gives more air to the front cylinders).
Then,get a tune to take full advantage of the mods.You mentioned you are a noob...whatsa tune?Basically,its engine management--tweaking the computer that run
the systems that control what your engine does.No much is mechanical anymore.
The best tune will be a dyno-tune.This will show a "before&after" of what has been done.
You are talkin about $600 for a good tune....maybe another $250 for a spacer(I take it you will not be doing your own labor).

I would recommend a Tune as well. Something like Osiris or you could pick up a Cobb AP pretty cheap now as well.

You could pick up my front bumper 8)

That'd be a good start! But the thing I liked best after I got my exhaust was the rear bumper tuck. Simple and tasteful and shows off the exhaust.
Maybe look into some 20mm and 25mm spacers to scooch the wheels out?
