Next Mod on your Wish List...
 
Soo I'm pretty bored at work....

anyway, what is the next mod (whether it be a DIY or purchase) that you plan on doing to your cars...

It's supposed to be a nice weekend so I'm sure plenty of eastcoasters will be playing with their cars.


for me its going to be painting door handles saturday, then amuse rear bumper :)

kenchan 03-17-2011 11:31 AM

Are you going to paint them yourself??

TheGreatOne 03-17-2011 12:45 PM
I have my F.I. on the way, so my next mod I'd like to do is springs (Swift)

I hate wheel gap, I only hesitate because my underground condo parking is a bit steep...I scrape the front bib, but thats all, so maybe its do able.

RockStarKick 03-17-2011 01:01 PM

Hijinks 03-17-2011 01:17 PM
F.I. Exhaust but that won't be until the fall since I need to put aside some extra cash to do the mod.

christian370z 03-17-2011 01:57 PM
I just got an FI exhaust last week, this Friday I am buying a set of sport package Rays with 20mm spacers all around.

BeachZTT 03-17-2011 02:38 PM
Probably an FI exhaust but I may do suspension and spacers first.

Econ 03-17-2011 02:52 PM
anyone know if i HAVE to take of tailights to properly smoke them....i only want one or two shades darker

b1adesofcha0s 03-17-2011 03:00 PM
Once I get enough money saved up I would like to get a FI HFC as my first performance mod.

Econ, I got overlays on my tail lights without taking them off. Don't know if that helps at all, but you can check out the pics in my album.

Nope, I got them from and installed by a professional tint shop. It cost $120 total for the tail lights and third brake light.

ok cool. I think im going to have 180 customs paint mine for $150

ZoroItaliano 03-17-2011 04:37 PM
Fi exhaust ...seems to be pretty popular exhaust for 370z ...I'd like to get an exhaust just a little louder than stock , and lighter....not sure which to go with.

20mm spacers ...do u have any pictures as to what that looks like all around ?

That's pretty extreme either/or situation.

tsolin01 03-17-2011 05:12 PM
Ordered swift springs but now contemplating getting KW V3 coilovers instead... damn it...

then some sort of body kit afterwards but nothing too crazy, possibly just a subtle lip, sides and sunline rear.

so much to do so little money...

Smart financial decision.... :rolleyes:

Didn't you create another thread about how you couldn't afford to keep your Z? Maybe you should pay it off before dumping 5k into it......:ugh2:

It's her money, she should be able to do with it as she pleases. Whether it's a bad financial decision or not is up to her and really buying this car isn't really a smart financial decision to begin with lol

Just curious, where is 180 customs located? Are they painting them while the lights are still on the car or are they going to remove them?

red6spd 03-17-2011 06:01 PM
Well there is a wish list and next mods you want to do. My wish list is a GTM TT Kit and aftermarket clutch and flywheel. But thats not happening for a million years, so my next mod is going to be an oil cooler. I have the money but I'm waiting because I wanna do it when I do an oil change.

We're located in Brooklyn, NY. Everything is carefully removed off the car, and painted inside a paint booth with automotive equipment. Turn around time is over night, if theres any tiny specs of dust which is rarely the case, they would need to be wetsanded, buffed out and repolished, usually done on following day since the day the parts were originally removed.

Result is this mirror like finish

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/k...w110/REAR1.jpg

Available in Light, Medium, and Dark finish. No rattle cans, no nightshades, no film overlays.

It's $160 for taillights, and $50 for 3rd brake light. To uninstall and reinstall is $25 more.

BG40thZ 03-17-2011 06:16 PM
Well, I still have to install the FI exhaust and high flow cats...I've had them since September! I also have KW V3's and Hotchkis sways left to install. but the big mod coming up soon is a new set of wheels...Forged specialties, don't want to spoil the surprise! :driving:

b1adesofcha0s 03-17-2011 06:32 PM
Wow, those lights look amazing. If I was in NY when I wanted to get mines done, I would have definitely gotten it from 180 custom. It's too late now though. Good luck Econ, post pics when you get it done :tup:

You should probably install and drive on the springs for a while... they are supposed to be damn good!

I just ordered some Swift Springs and 15 x 20 spacers. I would have gone 20 x 25 but I plan on up grading my meat once the tires are shot. Can't wait until April when those springs are supposed to arrive.

I've been told by the wife that I'm not allowed to mod this car for the first 6 months. Not sure if I can wait that long...

LunaZ 03-17-2011 09:01 PM
My Spring Project List
Swift springs
H&R 15mm spacers for the front wheels
Red calipers from Mike
Tune

Tell her to get in the kitchen and make you a sandwich while you're installing your exhaust.
