I realize that this is all moot given that the OP appears to have financed a car, but your comment just came across as a "leasing is bad" generalization I hear all too often from customers who simply don't understand how they work.

As for the OP, congrats on the purchase. Wish I had read this thread earlier as I'm always happy to help a fellow forum member out with a new vehicle purchase.

OP, said he bought a new 2014. I don't understand why people always want to rain on someones parade

It's all good. Can't really expect much in the WEBZ. I know I made a great decision and don't regret it . Should I have bought a house instead? Probably. The way I see it, I'm paying my dues for my credit so when it's time to buy a house, I can get a prime loan. None of that 30yr BS. I'm a frequent contributor of MyFico forums.

I'm just happy to be a Z brother. What should be my first mod? Oil cooler? Anything recommended?

I want to get a pair of Bride seats and a Borla/meisterchaft exhaust. That's something that's will be down in 3-6 months though.

Don't need an oil cooler unless you plan on taking your car to a track on a regular basis..oil will usually never go above 200 with everyday driving..

My first mod..well was to upgrade the stereo system..other than driving the car..the radio will get the most use..

2nd) was the exhaust. Almost a must-have..stock is far to quiet for a sports car

3/4th ) is going to be a cf lip and duckbill spoiler that will be delivered by late next week.

5th) Save

6th) Up in the air right now..possibly a CF rear diffuser.. or CF sideskirts...Cold air Intake (probably the best choice) or save some more for a new set of wheels.

Supermade, You sound like a young man with some class

. Don't lose focus on purchasing your house, so mod wisely and drive safely.

My idea of cost efficient modding is to decide what you will use the car for (track, 1/4 mile, autocross, daily driver) and mod accordingly.

Example, mine is a daily driver and I plan on keeping it for 5 years so I don't want to pour a lot of money into it but make it a little more comfortable and fun. Also I did not want to do anything to void Nissan' warranty and make it as attractive as possible for a future buyer, too many mods, may give the impression of abuse whether it was or not.

So my mods were simple and achieved my goals, RJM clutch pedal, tinted windows, dynamatting doors/hatch and an exhaust. No external mods as I think the 13 sport is a very nice looking car as is.

Don't think you'll need an oil cooler unless you're tracking and I'd go with the exhaust before seats. Congrats again and happy driving

There's no way I'll give up my seats with airbags for a daily driven car.
