I personally love the rear fog lamp. I got my Nissan OEM fog lamp for around 60-80 bucks. It's not that expensive, although to get an OEM switch, you'll end up paying a few hundy.

Ditto on the fog lamp (I have the EVO-R model and really like it), or an aftermarket shift knob.

Is there a specific fog lamp people have been installing? Or is everyone going for OEM.

$33 worth of Amsoil, $33 worth of Royal Purple, and $34 worth of Redline oils. Mix them all together and have an oil that will last 50,000 miles, actually reverses the wear on your engine, and adds in excess of 50 RWHP.

Add another $900 to that and have the car wrapped on the front end and rocker panels with Ventureshield Ultra, or Xpel, or a similar product by a skilled person.

You will thank me in a few years if you do it.

Just a few ideas for the Z:
-Fairlady Z emblem
-Vinyl for fang or rear valance
-Carpet trunk mat or metal z emblem floor mats
-Quality wax/polish products
-1 fill up of premium unleaded

For a little more:
-wheel spacers
-used long tube CAI ( sell the drop in's)
-Evo-R CF door pillars
-Evo-R fang cover

Other ideas:
-lap dances at a strip club
-5 cases of cheap beer
-100 items off the dollar menu
-bb gun? Although you might shoot your eye out

Well, you didn't specify what you were going for. Just asked for ideas. True, the fog lamp is there mostly for show, but I like its function as well.
