New to modding, help me start please?

I'm sure there are threads about this already, I've saw one before but I've been searching for that page over and over and for some reason I can't find it anymore. If someone know where I can be directed to, or if I can just start getting help here, it'd make me happy.
03 Sedan - Black on Black - everything stock...
can someone help me out with a basic list of mods I should start out with?

Tint your windows
buy coilovers and dump your car
buy wheels

Find out it'll never be fast. So start where it's easy!

Ohhhhhh now you're talking

Buy KW Coils
and I hope you have $3000 for wheels, if not. Save up.

19s or 20s work, when you're hammered low everything looks good.

Gotta remember, he's 03 so he will be in need of an aftermarket bumper, which of course will have to be FG. 18s+ fiberglass= an inch a way from being really frustrated haha.

18s are doable though, just make they're wide.

Ztube is the oem intake tube off of the 350z. It has a smoother flow due to no baffle. And as for the spacer, its a plenum spacer and you can read all about that here. http://www.motordyneengineering.com/...c66e184c8cb3e4
