40th upgrades

Garrett63 · 06-26-2012, 07:18 PM

What are some must upgrades(other than Bose because I happen to like it) for the 40th? or most recommended or most functional? Dew it!

LMBmikeZ · 06-26-2012, 08:47 PM

IMO drop and spacers......

MattP725 · 06-26-2012, 09:01 PM

Rear fog and drop/spacers as mentioned.

Others that are a must...
Exhaust
LED interior/exterior bulbs
Tint

+1 on the drop, you'll need an intake as well.

I forgot the US models don't get the fog! I like having it to!

Tint is also a good one not only for looks but to protect the interior.

Exhaust and intake are nice but not necessarily a mod I would do if I just picked it up IMO.......I would wait a while and do lots of research and listen to lots of audio files or see them in person if possible!

If I may ask, Is there a specific reason you guys highly recommend spacers?

np! Spacers work if that's the look you are going for

Not I lol.

I definitely want to chime in on the spacers and mild drop. The Z looks aggressive already but with a 20/25 combo (spacers) and a mild drop (an inch) it just looks and feels that much better

I think all Z's need an exhaust as its way too quiet but like LMBmikeZ said, do your research, doesn't need to be rushed into, but funny enough it was my first mod.

I really appreciate the way you insist in your recommendations. It makes it feel more thought out than someone just simply listing a bunch of stuff.

stillen gen 3 intake.

Race grade brake fluid.

Race grade clutch fluid.

Red interior mood lights connected to the auto-headlight feature.

rear fog lamp, wired to the brake light with Smart Flasher

LMBmikeZ · 06-30-2012, 08:39 AM

takeda intake > then stillen gen 3

No cutting required and saves you approx $100

O ya I am also pretty sure the takeda intake is a dry filter where the stillen is an oiled filter, so that's another +1 it will not require the maintenance like the oiled filters do!

Also if you decide to go with race grade fluids for brakes and clutch, then you better also be getting the braided lines for both of them. Other wise you will still have the mushy feel!
