To Mod Or Not To Mod???
 
I have a huge dilemma. I'm starting to get the mod bug, but I just can't get past how great she looks stock! There's a part of me that says just leave her alone, she'll look GREAT rolling down the highway. Then, the other half wants to start with drop springs and exhaust. Just wondering if any others on the board have had this same thought?

I woud say if you plan on keeping your car for a long time, then mod away. I don't think the general public wants to buy a modded car. The masses are asses. I have done a few things to mine and am glad I did. I like the fact that it feels more like my car now and looks different from the rest.

There are simple mods you can do which will keep the car looking as it does but enhance some features.
Springs/Coilovers are a great way to make it a little more aggressive stance, and combined with some spacers you will keep the stock look of wheels. If you want a little more sound out of the exhaust, you can put on some high flow cats and this will retain the OEM exhaust but add a bit of growl.

If you want to be close to stock then I think you should just do:

- Drop
- Spacers
- Exhaust

You'll have a more agressive stance, slightly better handling and better exhasut note all while retaining a lot of the beauty of the Z in stock form

I do not want to change the looks either. I do want more performance. Look at my sig to see what I've done and would do again.

I could drop it more but not for my local roads.

Mine is basically stock. Changed out some minor things to make her mine. :)

Mod!!!!!

Of course most of the members here are going to tell you to mod it. I'd drive the car for a few thousand miles before deciding what you want to enhance.

If you are happy with the way your Z is now by all means leave her be, you can always add mods when you're 100% sure :tup:

Most mods you do can be reversed if you get tired of them/need to sell.

:iagree: keep stock parts. :)

I modified nothing until I had too (oil cooler) and then found the body roll could be improved. I tried each mod for a couple weeks before adding another. When I was satisfied I stopped.

kenchan 02-10-2012 01:29 PM

yah, im pretty much done too. will do some very minor accessory/convenience items this year which i dont really consider as mods.

40TH4ME 02-11-2012 09:50 PM

I would like to do some small things to her, just to make her mine like Doug posted. I took her out today and the exhaust is PERFECT! K&N twin intakes is all but it sounds sweet! I'm working on a project for the sunglass cubby. If it ever takes shape, I'll share with everyone.

PapoZalsa 02-11-2012 10:04 PM

If is a 40th I'll say keep it stock.
