4000$ to spend, what should i get.

kenchan · 04-12-2011, 11:23 AM

yah, 4K wont do much. if you already have the sport wheels i'd get the spacers and an exhaust, dd HU and some speakers, some CF interior bits, call it a day.

Performance:
-Intake & Exhaust (at least $1.5k) & UpRev ($600)
-Brakes ($1.6k-$3k)
-Coilovers ($2k)
-Wheels ($2k-$3k)
-Tires ($1.2k)

Aesthetics:
-Varis kit ($2.5K)

That depends on what you're looking at...

I say REASONABLE parts costs a bit less...

($4000 budget)

Wheels:
$3000-3500 w/tires (Weds, used Volks, Works ect)

Coilovers:
BC Racing $1000

I think that is easily managed.

Then do the washer exhaust mod for some sound = free.

Exhaust and HFC's for sound.

Front lip and sideskirts to taste.

Possibly a used set of rims.

$4k gets you nowhere with the Z....

kenchan · 04-12-2011, 12:41 PM

I wouldn't do it, but it's up to your taste. Crazier things have been done.

Cmike2780 · 04-12-2011, 12:57 PM

If by simple you mean clean, stick with black. Red looks ok. Purple just looks cheezy.

I have the best suggestion...which no one has suggested yet surprisingly.

Give me the money to me!

The Nismo front bumper (not the S-Tune) is the best front on the 370.

For looks and sound, definitely get cat-back exhaust first. Spacers with Springs or Coilovers will also make a big difference in looks. Don't forget to factor in installation costs if you're not doing it yourself.

I wouldn't bother with an intake unless you want to complete your performance bolt ons.

I wouldn't cheap out on Wheels/Tires so I'd save that for the next time you have $4k to spend. The same goes for a full body kit or lip kit, more if you're needing paint and installation.
