I think It's a good looking car as is even though it's dated now. Power needs a good bump but costs a lot to make much of a difference.. My stock sport wheels look like ***.That's where I'll start modding this one.

+1 The Nissan 370Z already looks very tastefully done and looks amazing. Although I believe the Nissan 370Z can use improvement in the power department and sound needs to be improved as stock the 370Z is too quiet and the Nismo exhaust is very nice but only a minor improvement really.

Suspension, Brakes, Power and looks. I'm ADD so I sprinkled a little in Suspension, brakes and looks.... Then saw a squirrel in the power department and haven't left yet because of shiny objects.

Final thought... Tacos are good.

I have no need for additional power for my daily driving. I could see you needing more power if you track/drag race at legitimate events. All more power will do is get me speeding tickets, this car is plenty fast considering the traffic laws in the US.
