Kid looking for inexpensive improvements =P

Hey everybody so happy i found this site. But i have a big question. What would you guys recommend that i get or do to my 2004 G35 Sedan that is cheap. Im only 19 and money is kinda lacking lol.

This weekend iv decided to paint my grill flat black after seeing the DIY links so i think that should be cool.

But whats like the minor things that make a difference and what not?

Thanks =D


DOMO and just had to do this... its awesome lol

G35's are fairly expensive to mod. I guess the cheapest/simplest mods are clear corners and a ztube/pop charger (maybe). It also depends on what you are going for. Performance or looks.

If you want overlays... they're fairly cheap as well as tints.

You could bake your headlights to open them, and then paint them the same colour that you paint your grill.

bats overlays, powder coated wheels, paint grille, headlights if you can (or know someone that will do it for cheap)...

that will give a decent look for under $500...

$200-$300 more for lowering springs (maybe less if you find used Z springs)
