Official Cheap Mod Thread
 

Someone suggested a couple of days ago that we put together a thread that shows that not all mods for our Z34s have to cost more money than you're prepared to part with at the moment.

Tax time is upon us right now. For some amongst us it's a time of celebration and economical stimulus, for others it's a time to buckle down and cough up cash to The Man. While some are out splurging on TT or Venacis, others may feel less than adequate :ugh2:

Let's use this space to celebrate all the cheap, miserly, penny pinching and sometimes utterly ridiculously inexpensive additions to our rides.

The key requirement here is that the mod must be tasteful. No skull shifters or fuzzy dice suggestions please, because that needs to be left for the bagged Impalas to sport. It would also be helpful to provide pictures, prices and links to puchase. Preferably these links should be supporting vendors of the370z.com.

Let's try to keep the suggestions for mods at $200 or less.

And......go!:tup:

I didn't do this one personally but there was the guy who put like 16 washers on the bolts between his exhaust and muffler to make his car sound a lot better.

^^ What, to create an exhaust leak?

Debadging or painting your badges is a cheap and easy mod to do.
