what would you do with with less then $200
 
ok so for 200 or less in what order would you do these little mods? these are things i would like to do but cannot decide which to do first since im low on funds. i will do all of these but help me choose what to do first to last.

black roof overlay
wheel spacers (sport wheels)
GTR red start button
resonated test pipes
black out wheels (sprt wheels) i can have a shop paint them for less then 200
used double din radio (i dont have bose)

I would save until I had enough money to do what I really wanted to do. :)

kenchan 10-26-2010 04:10 PM

... my spacers were sold. :icon17:

kevin8086 10-26-2010 04:12 PM

i want to do them all but no reason in waiting since i cant do everything at once anyway. i just figured a could do one per paycheck and trying to figure out what fist. i really want a supercharger but that wont happen anytime soon and i would still want this stuff done.

m4a1mustang 10-26-2010 04:13 PM

Do the cheapest one then. GTR button. :D

Test pipes

kevin8086 10-26-2010 04:59 PM

I was really wanting the test pipes but with my intakes i think i may need a tune then im looking at 600 from the local tuner in austin

simota1 10-26-2010 06:16 PM

this was about the first budget i had when i started with my z..... :D

with two hundred dollars i would.....

buy the

JDM fog lamp $90 bucks
Krylon fusion $10 bucks and black out my headlights
Black vinyl 4x4 sheet $25 bucks and do my roof overlay yourself..
GTR button $60 bucks.....
Case of beer for you and your buddy =] to drink while you guys work on your car... $15

perfectly $200 :tup:

simota1 10-26-2010 06:17 PM

youll be so happy because its not just one mod you did... you did multiple mods :D

kevin8086 10-26-2010 07:07 PM

haha nice. ive done the front and rear bumpers in krylon already i just have not wanted to tackle the headlights just yet. i need wheel spacers sooo badly i cant stand it. the car is lowered so the wheels need to come out badly.

I honestly wouldn't trust anyone who'd paint wheels for less than $200 IMO.
Test pipes would be good but aren't they more than $200?!! Will you do the install yourself?
I'd say go for the roof overlay (not even knowing the color of your Z)
If you NEED the spacers..yea, buy them from Kenchan :) and you'll still be able to get the overlay:tup: Two items for your budget.

JB-370z 10-26-2010 09:26 PM

Buy some lotto tickets and hope for the best.

im friends with the owner of the shop so i buy the paint and give the painter 100 to sand down and spray the wheels, thats why it's cheap. there are test pipes for sale for 165 right now and i could definately do the install myself. i installed a built motor in my 350z with a greddy TT kit. My Z is Chicane yellow and i have been blacking out fangs, rear diffuser, door handles and the bottom half of the spoiler so now all i need to do is the wheels.

do the wheels first, then the spacers. those two will give you the most visual bang for the buck.

yeah, thats what i was thinking. it will make a big difference on the yellow. ill probably go that route. then i need to trash this stock head unit because it is garbage.

Buy a GTR button for $60
Buy lap dances with the rest of the money? :ugh2::icon17:

4r3s 10-27-2010 09:48 AM

that does look good but im doing them black to match the rest of the black im adding to the car, i just painted them yesterday with the satin krylon fusion. looks nice but will look better once the wheels, tail lamps and headlamps are all done in black

Baddriver 10-27-2010 06:11 PM

get the gReddy led headlight mod and the GTR button.

blacked out rims is only good if you have the Nismo, which looks aftermarket afterwards:). otherwise, it looks crap IMO.

:bowrofl: What's wrong with lap dances? Those poor college girls have to pay their tuition too. Poor girls working hard to pay the tuition, makes me sad even thinking about it :(. So I'm actually helping them achieve higher education. You should be proud! :tiphat: One day they are gonna graduate as doctors, lawyers etc :tup:

Plenty of exotic dancers are hard-working women with children to feed. Don't ask me how I know. :icon17:
