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)

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?

At this point, I think you need to ask your mom.

Or, maybe JARblue can be the surrogate mom and he will look in the phone book or surf the net on your behalf and give you all the info you'll need to make a decision. Oh wait, ask him to make the decision for you. That would be even easier now wouldn't it?

Or, you can just search the forum. The info you seek is not difficult to find.

This is what we were trying to avoid

Search is your friend

The Z looks damn good by default.

Ideas, though?
- tint
- clear bra (if you want to protect the appearance of the front)
- washing/detailing products
- spoiler! (had to add this in as I rechecked that your Z is base)
- swap out the rear license plate bulbs for something whiter/bluer
- swap out the interior dome lights for something whiter/bluer

Honestly, this should exhaust your $1000.

- think about platidip on the non-black pieces; check out pics in the albums section; this is cheap and hard to irreversibly screw up.
- exhaust upgrade if you consider the sound of your car to be part of its appearance.
- lower with swifts springs (unless you plan to drive in the winter, in which case maybe ask if that is a good idea to further reduce your body and wheelwell clearance in winter snow)

- spacers only if you want the performance gain or hang out around other car enthusiats. Otherwise, no one else will appreciate this change.
