Need creative minds for customizing!
So I recently bought a bone stock black 370z for about 28. I lemoned my camaro about got back about 38. in my mind I have up to 10k to play with.
speakrs, nav, tints, intake, exhaust = 5 or 6k. so I'm left with about 4-5k to spend. I was planning on getting a white car and had so many ideas on what to do but but black for some reason leaves me with 0 ideas. I wanna spice it up! I've been thinking maybe a carbon fiber hood and spoiler but I can't find any pics of black cars with cf on it and I'm not sure I'd like it. Wheels would be nice, maybe motegi or enkei with some red on it. I like the lakers so maybe something with pruple and paint the calipers yellow? get the red part of the tail lights wrapped black? I know if I paint it I'm gonna get pulled over with my luck so I'd need new tail lights instead of removing the wrap. I wanted used so I could justify getting rims and painting it but I got new. I don't want to throw away new tires for wheels. I don't know if you can put stock tires on new wheels. i'm really in the dark about this. I don't know!!! guys now is your time to just throw all your creative ideas out there and hopefully see it done. I ordered stillen gen 3 intake and need to get borla pipes. I like hks but its not worth the extra 700. Alpine nav. Thanks for the help |

First off search function works perfect! Second and so on, there are tons of black cars with carbon fiber on this forum search around. Do not rush to mod your car until you know exactly what you want. 10k is a nice chunk to make this car perform and look even more beautiful than it already does. Do not mess up and have to re-buy exhaust and wheels or body mods and end up with nothing you like.
Purple goes great with the black. One of our Z's started with purple anyway, it looked killer. Keep your stock wheel and tires as a backup or just sell them. You can easily get 800-900 dollars for them if sold on the forum to help offset cost of new wheels/tires. Your going to want new rubber anyway the stock tires suck IMO. There is probably 3 sets of tires the majority upgrade to here depending on road or track use, or both. The best exhaust by majority rule on this forum is F.I (Fast Intensions) best bang for the buck and amazing sound. Search around 90% of your questions have been answered. There is a wealth of knowledge on this forum if you want to find it. So many amazing people creating amazing cars. Set aside 600-700 for an Uprev tune once all your breather mods are installed to really wake the car up.

i'm the kind of the guy that researches everything 5 times before he goes through with it. I've searched and searched until my eyes couldn't look at the screen anymore. I really don't like fast intentions sound :x

I like what Taylor did to his black Z. He's got some pretty clean cf pcs. It is also one of the best sounding z's I've heard. Loud as heck. His ears can handle it, I'd be wearing ear plugs. Good luck with your mods. You have good funding to start with.

i was also hesitant about doing a CF hood on my black Z, but i'm really glad i got it, it looks great. Take a look at my profile for some pics, i think there's a couple decent pics of the hood.

depeding on what you want to do with the car "Show Vs. GO" I'd say invest in suspension and also some good braking power. As someone stated as well if youre going with the power route a tune would do you good if youre getting exhaust and intakes etc done...And in my opinion clean and simple is always a good look. good luck with modding

What a waste of 10k. Lakers colors used for the wheels and brake calipers-are you kidding me?
