Default Got my first great car 08' 350z have questions

Alright first off my budget isn't great what can i do to maximize how the car looks and feels for the least amount of money.
tires and rims are great and aren't very costly but what else?

maybe its just me but, i think your parents need an *** kicking for helping you buy a car. as far as upgrades go you should wait untill you can afford to pay for the car all on your own. because all that money you put in to upgrades should be going to your parents. again that could just be me. congrats on the car

Sounds like you and your parents should also invest in an English tutor.

Congrats on owning your dream car though. Consider your self super lucky! When I was 17, I had a 1979 Datsun 210... looked like this (even that same color)...

Well there's a lot of mods that are not too expensive and will give your Z a great refreshment. For sounds and performance, look into test pipe and intake. Let me know if you have any questions! Welcome to the board
