Thanks for the idea, Alex.

People! Post up your plans!

I was thinking of getting some Nismo side skirts and rear fins....*cough*

I also want to do the LEDs for some of the exterior lights.

Haven't really seen anything new out there that I want for the Z, but maybe I'll start window shopping.

I'm definitely going to get a new leather shift boot.

I really like the Sport spoiler for the 370. That's the hotness.

So some cheap, porous, cast iron wheels that weigh more than 30lbs a wheel?

Don't cheap out on wheels/tires. One of the best areas to spend a little extra.

Well its between godspeed and rota. The nismo wheels are nice but they arent 2k nice.

Godspeed wheels are under 30lbs, so check your facts before you post.

Damn man...... What ever wheels you choose anything is better than those ones you have now lol Yo Alex make sure you take pics of the headers install and post up!!! Along with the fender braces!! Oh one other mod you should try to do since you'll have the coolant drained and you plan on going FI, try and get your hands on a Koyo Radiator if you have the funds for it. They're not that expensive.

I knew that was coming. Where do you get mudguards for a minivan?

I also like these: http://www.axiswheels.com/wheels.php

So does a new window motor count as a mod?

Dave I've considered the other brands too, I guess the deciding factor will be how much $ I have when I'm ready to buy wheels.
