Repetition...

Seems like Ive done the same mods over and over again to finally make the right decision..

Here's what I've done, and done again

-Tint: first time was 50% Front/15% Rear, now its 15% all around
-Grill: Silvia Parts Gialla Replica Grill, back to OEM now
-Intake: Z-tube and K&N drop-in filter, now Z-tube and JWT Pop Charger
-Exhaust: Injen TrackEdition Ti Tip, now Fast Intentions Intimidator
-Wheels: OEM 19's, Axis Matrix 19x8 19x9.5, OEM 18s, GramLight 57S Pro 19x9.5 19x10, Now OEM 18s until I can find a new wheel I like
-Springs: 2006 350Z OEM springs(~0.5" drop all around), now Tein 350Z H-Techs

I think thats it so far. Is it just me or does it take a few times to find the right balance and right mod to help cure the mod bug?

it's a matter of thinking things out and thoroughly. it's all about thinking about what is cost effective and what will make you happy in the long run rather than making impulse decisions and purchases.

like patrick...he bought those time attacks and sold them super quick. now hes doing the same thing with your GL's. not cost effective at all.

i did the same with my grille. custom grille. sp grille. stock grille. now data grille. only other thing i would change that i did is the springs. i wish i had saved up for coils.

Don't feel bad.
I think we all been through that.

Here is my list:

Ings inserts on OEM bumper - Replacing it with the Kuruma Z bumper
Seibon TS hood- I keep alternating between the Oem hood and this one
SP CF Grille-SP DG Grille-OEM Grille
OEM Clutch and Flywheel - Replacing it with ACT Heavy Duty Clutch and Street Lite Flywheel(I'm already regretting this and it's not even on yet)
OEM Wheels-Racing Hart RS-721(Summer)-ASA JH8(Winter)
GT-Spec Bars thinking of removing them.
OEM Sides replacing with KS sides

I think I might stick with OEM hood and I'll switch up on the grilles until I'm happy.

Funny thing is that I did do my research.

There just not that much out there for our cars.
When you get so far and then you want to change the look
you need to start all over with a blank slate.

All aftermarket clutches and flywheels give off noise that is the only reason I'm regretting that decision.
