I've modifed cars in the past, and maybe I'm getting older but the more quality time I have with my car the less I want to modify it. I was able to pick a babied 2011 Z with about 12,000 miles (~20,000kms) on it. It still smells like a new car inside.

I've added K&N drop ins... But I am on the fence to go further. I am tracking two packages for delivery with my H&R 15MM wheels spacers for the rear, and a set of AAM short tails. (Easily removeable bolt ons I figure).

The spacers I will do for sure, but the AAM's might sit in the box for a while. I can't even bring myself to tint the windows.

Anyone else in this club where they just want to preserve it the way it is?

BTW I have washed my car twice since picking it up on Tuesday and I have also waxed and detailed it.....

I'd get the suspension n brakes done though.

Koni yellow

Swift spec R springs.

Sway bar of your preference. (I chose eibach)

I had gone with the full stoptech brake 370z sport upgrade kit.

Drop in filters do wonders.

And FINALLY... An exhaust. The Z comes with loser sound.

Those small but essential mods made the Z feel like what it looks like. An amazing top line sports car.

Happy driving

Why the need for a stock Z thread I don't know. Let's face it. The Z can always be made to look better, sound better, drive better. I get the spirit of preservation but why? Collector value down the road? Many and I mean many will not keep their Zs anyway. And for those who do (keep and mod their Zs), fill their garages with their OEM parts.
