Poll: How long before you modded?

fins · 11-25-2010, 12:34 PM

Just curious

Brazilbro · 11-25-2010, 01:22 PM

1st mod within a week were test pipes, month later CBE, then 6months TT kit.

I was pretty good... I waited several months before buying my B&M shifter and it was 7 months before I bought my exhaust.

I think it's good to enjoy the car stock for a little while. It's funny when I took everything off the car to trade it in I found that I really enjoyed it stock more than I did with the exhaust and intake on it!

Dembflyr · 11-25-2010, 01:30 PM

Picked up the car on April 1st. Berk HFC's installed April 20th. I've done at least something to the car each month since.
I might be addicted now. All I can think of is what to do next. From the smallest things (rear fog light) to the big stuff (forced induction).
It's hard to save for the big stuff when I still have so many small things that I want to do.

wheee! · 11-25-2010, 02:31 PM

First mods were from delivery, Lit sills and clear bra, window tint. Next was Gen II Stillen CAI and grounding kit, within 4 weeks....
HFC's came about 7 months later and CBE about a month after that!
Back up camera kit this weekend, and many many many more to come I am sure!

700 miles on the clock and have fitted EVO-R CF Fang a few weeks ago and last weekend fitted a Akrapovic EVO exhaust

2theextreme · 11-25-2010, 02:50 PM

You mean you're supposed to eventually stop?

j/k

I'm still going strong 1 1/2 years later.....started about 1 month into possession of the blue Z.

6MT · 11-25-2010, 03:22 PM

Mine was done right at PDI when it rolled off the truck.

fins · 11-25-2010, 03:27 PM

I anticipate I'll fall in the 7 - 12 month range. At 5 weeks old, I'm still enjoying stock

import111 · 11-25-2010, 04:06 PM

Less than 2 weeks. Stock suspension and exhaust kills me.

Paul_S · 11-25-2010, 04:11 PM

I did the badges within the first month and the spacers and auto dimming mirror at about 1 year.

Hoping for something different for the wheels and exhaust this coming year

chops · 11-25-2010, 09:42 PM

i had LED's/6K HID installed on day 2-ish. full clear bra the same week, then HFC's a month later

Ztoon · 11-25-2010, 10:40 PM

Off the dealership lot and straight to the tuner shop.

VaGntlmn · 11-25-2010, 10:42 PM

Probably about a month.
Tinted the windows, swapped out the front Nissan badge, installed the Ipod gateway, little stuff.
Then had to stop for a while to save/get the front lip (which is hopefully being installed in a couple of weeks!)

dropped1 · 11-25-2010, 10:59 PM

Nearly two months before I even purchased a Z I had parts ordered!

(Had the FI exhaust ordered in the first week of March and didn't buy my 370 until late April! )
