having seen ARK and HKS in person, i dont think there is a difference in the finish.

And while i cannot speak for the HKS on this, the ARK is sturdy as heck. Mine had hit the ground a couple of times (thanks driveway) but it never cracked, or anything. Just looks like a tiny scrape.

ask yourself... how much money are you willing to spend?

Nismo221 · 04-12-2011, 06:57 PM

ClearBra should be your first mod. I wish I would have gotten one when I first got the car.

Dre22 · 04-13-2011, 11:28 PM

What good is everything listed above when you're in limp mode?

This was my first mod as well. Had them install it with the new short block. I forgot all about sitting on the side of the road, cooling down. I forgot about it because it works so well. Limp mode or worrying about it stinks, the oil cooler is sound advice if you push your car at all.

Just something i thought of while reading and looking at pictures of different Z's. i was curious to know what kind of mod was first done/installed, how much it was (if you guys don't mind me asking), and maybe if you still have it or has been removed and why?

im a new Z owner and im looking to see what you guys did with yours. thanks

The first mod I did was to install VLED LED parking light bulbs about 3 days after I drove the car back from the dealer, but the first major mod I did were my Berk high flow cats and Stillen sway bars at the same time about a week after I bought the car haha.

TruKoi · 06-19-2011, 12:22 AM
