Saviors build, need help as I go

OK, I am banging my head on desk about this...and will get some **** on it, but im gonna ask anyway, we are all noobs at one point.

I know I have seen in the forums the difference between intakes. z tube/pop charger vs cold air vs stock, were the french toast is that thread...yes I have searched. Basiclly I am looking for 50/50 sound/performance

Per your wonderful expertise. A front lip, what is "normal" per say when buying one...what to look for.
I have searched the forums, and it seems like so much is out there and scattered around my head is starting to hurt.

Its getting to be spring time, Ive had my G for a few months, and I am getting a itchy buy finger, but dont want to get screwed on something I wont use

My short plans term plans are
  • 5/16 Plenum Spacer (holding on for now)
  • Stillen Hi Flow Intake W/Z-Tube KIT (complete)
  • Front lip (completed)
  • Debadge all except fugi (complete)
  • Darker Tint (when I dont want my car for a day)

Long term
  • 19" Wheels/tires
  • OEM350z Springs
  • 06' headlights
  • Y-Pipes
  • bluebat overlay for roof and rear bumper
  • interior light change
  • after market grille

What she currently looks like, washed clayed, waxed 3/12





debadged!


lip installed



I know everyone here likes to be honest and say what they want, so feel free to, I am always open to criticism . So...let the thrashing began thanks

Short term plans are great. I am always a huge proponent of saving up first for wheels and tires. They completely change the look of the G

I like ur short term plans...

I was wondering if you plan to tint ur tails or heads? or maybe bluebatmobile overlays?

also do u like the lights on the interior ( gauges, clock, etc.. ) cuz all that can be changed and would really change the look of your car

Great plans although can I convince you to research some High flow cats or test pipes for your exhaust setup? Gl!

oh yes...the pipes...thanks for reminding me...

all I had planned was y-pipes

I do have plans on the interior, not 100% sure yet. leds of course.

I dont plan on tinting the head/tail lights, I like them the way they are. If I do, do anything it would be pain the inside of the headlights black.

someone post some lips for a 04 on ebay...like this one maybe?

I did have a idea for the center infiniti clock...replace it with a lcd screen that shows the time, alternating pictures and designs, i know thats a touchy subject with some.

I was also thinking about modding the center dash for mp3 player and gps maybe...but thats far off

maybe replace the shifter **** eventually

i think this is the best lip u can get for $75 and the one that looks closest to OEm w/o the price tag. BTW i just bought it for my car but haven't arrive yet .

if i ever decide to get a front lip, that is the same one i will get. I got one for my old 350z and it fits great.

My lip is coming Thursday and probably will be painted by next week.

Next is to order intake and MD 5/16.

I've been itching to get some wheels, I was just going to go to 18". I may wait to save up or just go low range since this is my everyday car...opinions?

Looks like a solid plan. I take it you already have some sort of exhaust like cat back? If, not I would suggest that.
