I wish there was a way to make this mod where it will cover the silver inner rim.

HU and speakers upgraded from stock system that never should have been in a 40 grand sports car...

There is somebody around here that has such a system for that, but it's more involved & cost more. I don't mind the little bit of silver, as I have the grey int & it kind of accents a little to the rest of the trim. Like I said, $13, can't beat it& I can actually read the fuel gauge now.

$.02

Evo-R front lip. $180 from the Zstore and I get more compliments on it than Anything else on my car. Also Black Taillights and painting your own rims black.

Evo-r lip $180
Black Taillights $100 professionally done
Black wheels $60 in materials (long time though)

gentex rear view mirror with autodimming, homelink, and compass.

i think those went for like 200... maybe it was 250. i dont remember but they have several versions with different features to match your budget. i bought mine through amazon and followed Mike's DIY.

My car with all mods listed above. I e followed the cheap mod path and I think it's turned out well so far! Btw my third brake light is now tinted not red anymore like in the second pic. Hope y'all like it! Also red engine painted is cheap as well!

Didn't realize the Evo-R lip was so cheap. I might have to look into it. Looks great on your Z

Can you get some more pics of it please?

370guy · 01-13-2012, 09:49 AM

More cheap mods! Painted engine cover aNd go pro mount. Combined price about $40. Like I said I've followed the cheap mid philosophy and in my opinion it's turned out well! So far that is...

370guy · 01-13-2012, 09:52 AM

More cheap mods?!? Red interior LED's. About $10 and thirty seconds of your time. Sorry about the quality of the pics. They're all from my iPhone I'll try roger better pics later. But as for now, enjoy more cheap mods!

kenchan · 01-13-2012, 10:06 AM

how about wheel paint? they're like $7-8 a can.

might be able to source some used spacers for your stockers too 2 pairs under $200.

Thanks

I think LED bulbs for the parking lights and rear license plate lights are a good cheap mod as well. I think you can get the bulbs for like $10-20 bucks and it only takes a couple mins to put them in.

I'm curious about the rear license plate and parking light LED bulb quality and longevity. How long have you had them, did you have any issue with them...and can you provide a link for where you purchased?

Thanks man.

I've only had them for like a month now and got them as a gift from a friend. I'm not sure where he got them from, but no issues so far.
