Appearance recommendation

Say you have a magnetic black base (no spoiler) 370z, 2110, and you have $1000, what appearance mod would you suggest? Spoiler? Wheels are probably more expensive as is any

Springs & spacers and plastidip if you're on a budget. And of course, wash your car every other day and wax it once a month since you picked up the hardest color to keep clean.

While he's heading to HD for the washers, stop by autozone for their daily specials on decals and stick-on vents.

Edit: plastidip falls into this category of modding too but if you use it "tastefully" IMO it can pass for being a legit mod.

Aero jacket duckbill spoiler or if u want the factory type spoiler they have them all day painted on eBay . Plastic dip black those silver handles. Tint? White led style parking lights, license lights. Springs maybe swift is cheap and works but IMO need rims on a dropped car especially those 18s

Default What gage heck are you talking about??

Spacers, washers, springs, decals??? I have no idea what you are talking about! What are spacers and how do they help appearance, same thing with "washers" and "springs". Are "springs" the hub cap like things that fit on wheels?

What is "plastidip"?

Need help guys, I am new to this, never did any sort of modding to any of my cars in 40 years.

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.
