First Z! Advice on first modification?

tefft19 · 10-07-2012, 08:26 PM

After countless hours were spent jealously reading posts on this website, I finally decided to purchase my own 370z. I previously owned a black 2011 scion tc, and I decided to upgrade to a black 2009 370z sports package with less mileage. Every day I am excided to wake up and drive this beautiful car. I am very into modifying cars and would love some advice on what you all think I should do the car first!

Note: Im on a tight budget as of now because of the recent purchase of the 370z. No bank loan, strictly cash. OUCH!

I agree, I might do black out with blue rims or something like that.

Less restriction. They make the car sound moar "throaty". They were my first mod and im glad i did them. Exhaust is way too quiet from the factory, imo. Hence the reason im on the list for the fast intentions exhaust

First mod = save money (save to do more than one mod at once; if you add aftermarket wheels, it'll most likely need a drop = coilovers/springs. If you add exhaust, you'll most likely want to do intake/hfcs/tuning)

or

First mod = track time/driving lessons (mod driver, learn/improve driving skills)
