that setup also lets me get an intake, the stillen pulley, header wrap, and an axel back; however, I could take those off and get a hood to go with it, or i could get rid of the body kit and get some better performance stuff

you know, I thought about this a bit more and......it doesn't really matter which way you go. If you go speed first, you'll just be wanting all the cosmetic mods again w/in a couple weeks once you get used to the new power level and it feels "normal" again.

If you go looks first, you'll get used to the looks w/in a few weeks, and then you'll want more power.

so...

Just get both.

Put what ever money you were going to do in mods into the down payment. Don't worry, you can thank me later.

...

Then again, you might already have it paid off. In that case, I would go for brakes, suspension, power, then possible looks (I like the car's looks as it is.).

I am just going to do a little of both. Minor bolt on mods and wheels to go along with my tint. I think aftermarket wheels really bring the Z up to a new level!!

Oh, then you should get air shocks!

As long as you get wheels that are nicer and/or more aggressive/lighter/wider than what the car came with... otherwise it's a step backwards.
And nice wheels and tyres eat into a $5K budget real fast.

The car is already pretty fast as is... I mean all you realy need is a nice exhaust and maybe some lowering springs and the car is good to go.... Adding to much to the engine can always resort in issues. But thats just me.
