Now that I think about it, I did a few things this year. Nothing crazy, but I still get compliments.

3.5vlsd
350Z track wheels, powder coated black
Nismo replica front
Emblemless grill
2500k fogs
Oil catch can
ART pipes

Next year
Tune
Maybe bbk
Possible roof spoiler
Better shocks
Nismo inserts
Oil cooler
Supercharger (wishfull thinking)

^^wow Im jealous of these extensive mods im seeing.. twin turbo yeah. Oh well I can just say Ive worked on getting this car paid off instead of expensive mods.. I have just detailed my paint this year (polish + wax). Thats all besides a clutch pedal adjustment. I did get a chance to autocross the car a handful of times and take it to the track twice. But for 2012 Im looking into chassis bracing and possibly exhaust. Oh yeah and new door speakers.

After owning/modding SLICK since early '04 my list of mods from 2K11 is short:
Autometer Cobalt blue Oil pressure/Volt gauges mounted in my A-Piller and painted to match headliner.
New KJ aluminum burnt shift **** that matches my HKS exhaust tips and black leather shift boot. Installed LEDs in my doors and license plate...super white has slight blue tint.
Next Year...Having my KurumaZ front bumper repainted (right this time) along with having SLICK totally color sanded.
