Where do you start when you mod a car?

For me I always change the wheels/tires and add suspension, then I work from around there. Do any of you go F/I right out the gate?

Start with the cheapest and freebies and work your way up. For example a free one (real cheap if you dont have goo gone or other) is pulling the badging off.

First was 18% tint, next is Nissan badging and Z-tube/pop charger. Then SP grill and 5/16 spacer.

I say start with a full custom paintjob, and twin-turbos.....lol....jkjk
If you wanna start with performance, i say z-tube, pop-charger, or plenum spacer.
If you wanna start with looks i say tints, clear corners, and deff. take the G35 emblem off the rear looks 100X better.

suspension, then wheels/tires. if brakes feel adequate, then motor, but if not, brakes, then motor at the end.
