Spoiler or wheels first?
 
Bought a magnetic Black, 2010 stock Z. Trying to decide what would enhance the looks more, a spoiler or wheels? What should be my first buy?

In reading up, I have seen where I can order the spoiler but I am not good at DIY, will probably have TP pay someone to drill/install one (though I have read of some who have used 3m tape).

Spoiler!!! Save for a really nice wheel/tire combo, burn up the rubber that is already on it!

…I'd go with a good cold air intake first but if thats out of the picture, go with wheels. The spoiler is overrated honestly (personal opinion). If you happen to get open wheels that show the calipers, your definitely going to want to replace them with something more attractive (not just painting them, Honda owners do that)...

Spoiler, it's the cheapest mod that you can buy that to me enhances the look. Actually I was in your same shoes, I bought a base that only had tint. I ordered the factory spoiler from ebay for like $130 shipped/painted. I got in like 3 days, I didn't drill it though, it comes with 3m tape and 1 year later it's still holding fine. (but I had my own tape also)

$130-400 vs $1500-5000 hmmm...

I was in the same boat and went with wheels first. Of the two options I felt it had the most overall impact on the car. Secondly, I wanted to see how the car looked with the new rims before deciding on the type of spoiler. Some set ups look better with the factory spoiler others with the Nismo, Amuse, or duckbill etc.

Is it difficult to do it myself with the tape deal. Some hints on how you did it. Have you driven fast after putting it on with tape? Do you check it often to see if it is holding on strong? My fear is driving 100 mph on the highway and the spoiler coming off and ....

for looks drop your car (swifts), then get wheels.

spoilers should come last.

I asked about choice between spoiler and wheels and just thought of something else. Spoiler or tint since both are about the same cost. The local places will do the legal limit (35% on sides, 5% on back and front, I guess) for $150-$180

I went the same way :tup:

Forget the spoiler.

If you are ballin' on a budget, get tint. It changes the whole look of the car.

If you have a little extra Christmas dough, get a quality intake.

If you're going to do them all anyway just do them in the order that your funds allow. Most people start off small and work their way up to the bigger mods like wheels.
