Recommendations for Upgrade Order
 

Hey everyone. Was thinking about the working upgrade list for my Z, and wanted the opinion of some experienced modders as to a good order in which I should approach these aftermarket parts. For example: I'd like a new head unit for the radio that includes a backup camera, but probably should not get this installed until the body kit is already on the car in order to avoid having to remount the camera in the rear. With that sort of forward thinking in mind as to part compatibility and interactivity, what order do you guys think I should get all this done. Also, keep in mind this is a list still in progress. So if you also know of something else that you think I should include, please let me know about that too. All that out of the way, here is my list:

• Head Unit (Carplay) with Nav, Bluetooth, back up camera
• Amuse Body Kit w/ Spoiler
o Rear Wing (APR GTC-300) - Maybe?
• Custom Paint (Orange/Black)
• Viper Security System
• Vertical Door Kit
• Racing Seats w/ 4 or 5 point harness
• Rear View Mirror (CIPA 36400)
• Supercharger Kit - Long term goal
• ECU Tune
• Carbon Ceramic Brake Pads
• Intake/Exhaust upgrades - No specifics yet
• Black out tail lights
• Black painted headlights w/ body color highlights
• Black "Z" emblems (front, rear, sides)
• Carbon fiber: Hood (painted), door handles, B pillar covers, shifter plate cover, pedals

The idea for the paint job (Pics are for red, but I was thinking Orange/Black):

Aftermarket vertical doors automatically make the rest of the car ricey ********, no matter how nice the rest of the build.

Edit- never mind, this isn't the first thread where you talked about putting lambo doors on a helpless Z. You got all pissy when the rest of the world told you it's a stupid idea and we will all laugh at you. So, go on with your bad self. We need more comedy in here these days.

Wasn't it a wrap?

Sure was. Looked good for about a month lol

I absolutely love that Matte White BMW and Merc have now:drool:

:iagree: My dads DD is a matte white CLS63 and it is :yum:

Okay, fellas. Let's deal with this right now:

I have been made painfully aware that many other forum members don't like vertical doors. I don't know the reasoning behind this, and I don't care. Bottom line: It's my car, not yours. I would never tell you to install or not install a part on your car that you didn't want/like, and I expect the same respect for personal taste and choice to be honored by other forum members in return. If you don't like lambo style doors, that's fine; But don't ridicule me for my choice to include them. It's petty, juvenile, and flat out rude.

That out of the way, lets all respectfully agree to disagree, and discontinue this particular argument. I look forward to continuing the intended sprite of this conversation.

Thank you.

just because you like it and think it looks good does not exclude you from being the target of some jokes or peoples opinions.

welcome to the internet.

just grab some lube and take it in stride. the rest of the list is legit but the lambo doors is going to get flamed.

hell I deal with it daily from my closest friends that I picked the 7AT over the 6MT. no matter what technical or personal reasons it doesn't matter. you take it laugh about it and burn them back.

Intake suggestion (if you don't mind removing the front bumper) get the Z1 intakes or Stillen G3s

Can't argue with that. Still, I posted a rather lengthy list of a multitude of parts and ideas. Even leaving it open to additional options, and all some people see is: "Lambo doors!? Outrage!"

Never was my intention to start a fight.
