Appearance recommendation

ZeeBabar · 11-04-2013, 06:41 PM

Say you have a magnetic black base (no spoiler) 370z, 2110, and you have $1000, what appearance mod would you suggest? Spoiler? Wheels are probably more expensive as is any paint job. Recommendations?

Springs & spacers and plastidip if you're on a budget. And of course, wash your car every other day and wax it once a month since you picked up the hardest color to keep clean.

Spacers, washers, springs, decals??? I have no idea what you are talking about! What are spacers and how do they help appearance, same thing with "washers" and "springs". Are "springs" the hub cap like things that fit on wheels?

What is "plastidip"?

Need help guys, I am new to this, never did any sort of modding to any of my cars in 40 years.

You've made it pretty clear that you haven't done an ounce of research yourself yet. I'll help a bit, but my suggestion is you use the search function before you start asking really stupid questions.

Spacers - for wheels, helps push the face of the rim out to better line up with the edge of the fenders

Springs - for suspension, lowering springs help fill the gap between the top of the tire and the fenders

Plasti-dip - spray paint like product that can be removed easier than regular spray paint, can easily be overdone and tasteless

Washers - cheapest exhaust mod ever, this one is listed as a joke

Decals - yet another joke (excluding the370z.com forum decals which are awesome and give 50 whp)

Washers

But yes. I can attest to the 50 horses gained from the 370z.com decal.

I am new to this so here are some stupid follow up questions. Where can you go to buy and get spacers installed? Same thing with Springs? How much does Plasti-dip cost, where can it be bought, where can I see an example of a good and a bad use off it. How would you use it?

kenchan · 11-04-2013, 06:55 PM

oh, and dont forget the washers.

While he's heading to HD for the washers, stop by autozone for their daily specials on decals and stick-on vents.

Edit: plastidip falls into this category of modding too but if you use it "tastefully" IMO it can pass for being a legit mod.

Aero jacket duckbill spoiler or if u want the factory type spoiler they have them all day painted on eBay . Plastic dip black those silver handles. Tint? White led style parking lights, license lights. Springs maybe swift is cheap and works but IMO need rims on a dropped car especially those 18s

nmjaxx9 · 11-04-2013, 09:01 PM
