Nice choice, I really like how DG looks; probably why i got mine haha. As far as mods, tint and clear corners to start off. There are so many wheels to choose from, look around the marketplace, sometimes there are really good deals on some of the high end wheels. I'll post pictures of mine this weekend just so you can see some pictures.

Ok, after reading more I caved with performance mods.

My summer project goes as follows,
System
Clear Corners
Tints
5/16 Pleum Spacer - is this hard to install if one has never worked on cars?
ztube - same question above^^
K&N Air filter
Wheels.

How do you guys feel about headers?

Should be a good summer, =) however I will never have money! But its worth it!

need to add a drop to that list. i went with 350z htechs, wish i would have gone with s-techs for a bit more drop. its not so bad on jersey roads. just gotta be on constant look out for potholes.

as for the plenum spacer and z-tube.... if youve got a set of sockets and some screwdrivers and you know how to turn them, youll be fine

Yea potholes hear are pretty terrible that and im coming from a jeep cherokee so i doubt i'd really know how to drive a car with a drop. you also have to worry about the manholes being raised where i live, our roads are known for having that ****ty problem.

yea i have a 5AT but as ive read the ztube and spacer still should give me a noticeable difference in power.

Ok So I've priced out pretty much my setup, and know what kinda money I have to save to get this all accomplished. Most prices are taken off of everythingg35.com and are brand new parts.

1 – K&N Air Filter + ZTube $120
2 – Sound System $1,500
3 – Clear Corners $35
4 – 5/16" Copper ISO Thermal Plenum Spacer $300
5 – Wheels Package $1,500
6 - Tints $150

Total - $3,605

Wheels package, This is a set of OEM 19's that hopefully I can find for around $1500, my sound system is a setup of JL 600/5 with infinity kappas and a 10w6 sub.

So what do you guys think?

Hey Man,

Welcome to Driver. I'm from NJ aswell, monmouth county that is. But yes, 1800$ for a set of oem wheels is absurd. They sell all day long without tires for sub $1000. So if oem 19's are really what you want the marketplace will be your best starting place. But why not save up for nicer set of wheels? I got a wheel fund started for some Work's and I'm already halfway there . Again, I'm from Jersey aswell so if you need any help just give me a holla.

Jr.

Def bro thanks, and yea I think i'll just save up for some nicer wheels, I love the Volk GT-V's but aren't they for racing? My tires have about 8-9 months left in them so I should be able to save up a good amount by then.
