Other than window tint I dont plan on doing any type of appearance modifications to the car.
So with this information in mind, my question to you guys is what is the first few things I should do to this car? Keep in mind that I dont want to void the warranty!

Thanks

ClearBra on the hood, bumper and mirrors. Do it before before the chips hit. Don't put it off, it will only cost you more for chip removal as the prep to the ClearBra.

This is what I did first. Seal it up while your paint is still perfect!

Yep agreed. Mine is getting that and the tints done on Sunday. Hopefully I can push then to do the side skirts and also the rear fenders with the price I agreed upon also. I think the sideskirts and rear lower fender flares will get chipped.

im in the same boat as you sir! Recently got my new Z and been struggling to pick the correct first mod but I've decided on Fast Intentions HFC and CBE. Best bang for buck to make the car that much more fun to drive! Twin Turbo should come later on LOL unless your rich then just get it all! woooO!

My mods were done in the following order:

2nd Mod: Nismo Shift Knob, Red GT-R Button.

3rd Mod: Drilled & Slotted Rotors w/ Metal Matrix Pads, Front Blast Guard Removed.

4th Mod: CBE

5th Mod: Nismo Rims

And my next mod plan is not much of a mod but to get Nitto NT05 tires and Tein Super Street coils.
