Post Need some opinions? (lets take a vote)

Ever since I bought my 370 about a month ago I been surfing the internet for quite a while now for whatever parts I can buy for my car. So far for what I heard from other people they said Stillen makes cold-air intake for the new 370z. Before that Capitol Nissan said in about a week before the nismo version of 370z comes out they are going to start selling a front add-on kit for the 370z. Now I'm trying to figure it out if I should do the looks of the car first or the performance?

Looks of the car first? (body kits, rims, spoiler, carbon fibers etc.) = 55%
Performance first? (intake system, exhaust, headers, turbos etc.) = 35%
Not sure? (leave it the way it is for now until you have a lot of choices) = 10%

Do both looks and performance of the car simultaneously:

1. Wheels (Super wide wheels and tires w/ low offsets because of the 370z's huge wheel wells)
2. Suspension (lowering springs/coilovers w/ all necessary adjustable camber/toe suspension parts)
3. Tint
4. BBK upgrade (Got to have 1 piece calipers to compliment some nice wheels, 2 piece calipers are ugly)
5. Exhaust, Intake & HFC/test pipes

That will make your car stand out big time.

cool thanks bro I was thinking 20' in the back with 4' lip and may be 19' in the front with same lip as the back so that way even if its not lowered yet it will look like it is bcuz of the gap that will be covered by the tires & wheels.

paint them flat black or gloss black that would look nice, and maybe even paint the center front lip same color like this one here

2) coils + camber kit OR just lowering springs
3) nice wheels

remember though there is only soo much performance you can do before the mods start becoming illegal and you soon become a rolling billboard for fix it tickets and ref tickets.. just saying..

appearance mods only!

only performance mod worth anything is when u go FI.

intakes, HFC [even this is illegal ], exhaust, headers etc are cool but how MUCH faster can u go? flame suit on! xD

oh actually i meant engine mods.. i would do suspension mods too, like strut, sways, under chassis..

so appearance + suspension mods

You're joking right?

CIA's
HFC
Cat-Back


I could be wrong but... I hear HFC & a Cat-Back wakes the 370Z up.

You don't have any options? Or do you mean you haven't decided what you wanted to do? Huge difference......
