I am about to have a CBE amongst other things installed, but my favorite, first, less-expensive upgrade so far has been a performance clutch/flywheel.

K&Ns are a no brainer.

I heavily modded my last car but my Roadster is so nice stock, there is not a lot I want to do to it.

However, I am addicted to modding so...

1- Hood struts. Why, oh, why did Nissan not go with these stock. I really dislike that silly prop bar.
2- Windows tinted.
3- I just ordered wheel spacers. HR 20 front and 25 rear. I am waiting for them.
4- Blacked out front and back emblems.

I think there really is not any "best mods" and seeing as everyone is different, you should go with what you want. Only you could know that.

Oh and welcome to Z land!
