Find some Used factory 19 Rays via the for sale forum....
Spacers are just that...they allow your wheels to sit out a bit more flush with the fenders...

Use the search function to read up on what others are doing...also check out the members Journals or picture threads!!!

Not everyone is into racing and, for me, the performance is just fine as I primarily drive to work and weekend drives. For most of us, adding performance mods is like a weekend golfer buying the most expensive golf clubs. A sheer waste of money. It's not going to make you a competitor of Tiger Woods.

Let us be honest, mods are primarily to impress someone or give bragging rights. We put mods on because it is important to have status, stand out, to our peer group. If our peer group is into power, it's performance mods and if our peer group is not, we go by appearance.

I would suspect that only a few actually get to use the added performance on any consistent basis.

There's a bunch of vendors here selling springs and spacers. Look for recommendations for local shops in your local subforum. There's a long plastidip thread in the exterior subforum.

What I did was plasti dipped the fang area to 1) protect it alittle from rocks and **** 2) contrast between shinny black and a matte black. IMO...IMO i love it! i also put gloss black vinyl over the useless windows on the side. Gives the car a sleeker look. Blackout rear turn signals, and blue bat eyelids for the front. All that was maybe $100. i also re-did my interior with black and orange CF/ kevlar to match the interior gauge lights. Materials cost $149 and i did the work my self, ( pain in the a$$ but i love it). rear fog light $39 plus wires and stuff $20.

If you do little things that are cheap yet tasteful a $1000 can go along way. I also have an CBE and gen III but those together are way over your prospective budget. take a look at some of the other Z's cars and pick and choose what you would like to do and make it your own creation.

If it were my $1k, the first thing I would do is clear bra and tint. That would be pretty much all of the $1k and the car won't look any different, but it keeps the car looking good.

I think the guy needs to learn how to shop first before we tell him what to buy. Clearly he's new to buying things online....

Everyone's forgetting that he's going to purchase all these items and, from the sound of it, he's not going to know what to do with ANY of them.
