Opinions needed from my fellow 370z enthusiasts
 
Sorry for the long pose and possible mistakes cause i am typing this with my phone. Any opinions or criticisms are welcome.

I have the car for about 4 months now and i think its time for me to start on some visual mods, follow by various performance mods.

I am kinda thorn between kits that i think looks good (personal opinion). Right now i am leaning towards the fujimura front bumper and the aero jacket rear addons. Problem is i have no idea how the combination will work, the aero jacket parts flow well if the car have all the pieces (rear addon, skirts, lip) but i am only interested in the rear addons. So what do you guys think? Will the fuji front and aero rear and possibly a different side skirt flow?

Another kit that i have considered is the amuse full kit. To me its kind of a love and hate thing so i am not sure i will consider it. I love the amuse rear but i kinda wish it is more rounded instead of cutting off in an angle (side view)

After the visual mods i am planning to get a new exhaust and the rest would be performance parts.

I am waiting for my tyres to ware so i can do the wheels/coils/rotor/calipers all at once. Then intake/cooler when i get the GTM supercharger.

What do you guys think?

i think you should do the wheels/coils first for visual mods, followed by aero kits.

doing elaborate aero kit first with your stock 18's will look like a riced out civic with stock wheel covers. well, not that bad but you get the idea.

Really? Will it be that bad? Reason why i am waiting is cause it would be a waste if i change them when they are this new, but i will put your advice into consideration

I have to go with ken on this one. If your wanting to mod the exterior first, my opinion would be start with the rims. I would personally start with basic bolt ons first. It's more bang for your buck IMHO. CBE, HFC, pulleys, Headers/Intake, with a tune....then work on the body.

yes. i didnt start this hobby today... more like over 3 decades ago and there are others with even more experience that will say the same.

UTAMAV brings up a good point about using some spacers on your stock wheels to kick things off. 20mm bolt-on type should work well with your car and folks are lking the swift springs for their dressup needs.

Stance first. Body after.

If I had to do it all over again.. I would engine first. Complete that, then go for Coils/suspension then body.

Plus nothing goes arounding to planned

The 370z looks really good just with a nice set of wheels and a good drop.

If I ever get one in the future that is all I would do with it exterior-wise.

Trust me, I started out as a base plus Touring and those base 18" wheels do the car no favors. Stepping up to the Sport Package wheels is the cheapest way to get a set of very good looking quality wheels and tires.

I would also do wheels, drop, then worry about the body. In fact, this is also what I did for my car and it turned out very nicely albeit not quite as elaborate as your plans.

Performance first, imo. But as a few have said if you are goin visual get rims first. Those base wheels would look laughable paired w an Amuse kit. There is NOTHING I hate more than a car w a full body kit rollin on stock wheels:facepalm: Plus, you gotta BE fast before you LOOK fast. My advice, performance mods before visual. Trust me the performance will be much more fulfilling and fun.
