Getting my dad's '03 G35- where to start with mods?

I know this probably has been asked a zillions times. Is there a FAQ or something?

I'm getting my dad's '03 G35 sport coupe 6mt in a few months. It only has a Stillen intake and that's it.

I'm looking whatever is the basic/fairly cheap/and "mandatory" mods for this car. I want to keep the look stock, but whatever makes the best bang for buck performance wise. And I want to do a metra dual-din dash install to get build in Nav/iphone integration too.

Also, what Gen II parts swap over?

I had to google each of those to see what your talking about- but yes- I love projectors and the 350Z intake tube is worth 5hp and some more noise. I'll have to read on the spacers.

Considering my dad giving me his old car which puts off the M3/S4/5.0 Mustang's I was considering... quite a bit. I can put a few grand it in if I wanted to. BUT, I don't think I need a blower or anything- I'll be going 250 miles a week of highway commuting with it.

So I'm thinking Projectors, intake tube, and a full blown audio system (Nav headunit/speakers/amps/small sub) so I can listen to nice hard rock on my long commutes.

i'd kill to have an RS-4 or new 5.0... anyway things for this car are not cheap...

looking into the MotorDyne 5/16 spacer and MotorDyne ART pipes and shockwave v2 exhaust

plan on an suspension mods? exterior mods?

Nope, maybe new shocks since it's an '03. Not sure of the mileage, probably 80,000+.

Don't get the metra kit, it looks terrible.

Contact Riverside infiniti and try to get a JDM double din - its 100x better and OEM, just look at pictures!
