Talking new owner - bunch of questions

I just picked up a black on black leather 03 sedan last Thursday. Got it for $19,988 with 50K miles on it. It has the stock 6 spoke wheels. Other than being black with dark tint it's pretty plain now to put up any pics. I'm waiting on the wheels that I already bought - factory hyper silver coupe 18in 7 spoke wheels, and 285/40 R18 tires from ebay to start fixing it up. I like a sporty, but factory appearance.

OK so here's my questions so far- (I know I could search but I'm excited to get this all going ASAP) what are the basic must have horsepower mods on these cars ? I have searched some and I'm seeing on here that guys are getting the Z tube and intake but mainy for sound and minimal performance ? What about exhaust upgrades ? I want a little more sound and performance from that as well. I already had an exhaust shop lift the car and couldn't beleive my eyes at my factory exhaust ! It looks like a coffin is welded in there. What is that mess ? I was looking at a stainless Magnaflow muffler 1 in and 2 oval tips out not sure if that's what I want. I'd like my sedan to sould like a stock coupe ? What are the differences and what is required to do that ? I always loved that exotic sound of that orange Supra in the 1st fast and furious. Anyway to get these V6's to sound like that ?

where are the sedan guys getting that little rear trunk lip spoiler ? Kinda glad my G didn't come with a spoiler so I can get that one and not deal with the holes. What lowering springs would put my car down perfectly on the stock 18's and 40 series tires ? Are the factory headlight housings hard to change out for the smoked ones ? Could I add G sedan just the brembro calipers to my current braking system ? Also like to get a blacked out grill, or the skyline one ??

lastly I think I need a new trunk lid. I dont like how my 03 has that square body line around the trunk handle. Any suggestions to fix that ? Maybe just have a body shop fill it in and repaint ?

I think my car has 260/260 what did Infiniti do to up the power in the newer models ? How does the 03 hold up in straight lilne acceleration to an 04,05,and 06 ?

thanks guys sorry for all the questions in my first thread, but I'm sure you guys have the answers for me

I'm retiring from moding Fords here's my old baby seen here

later switched my blower from a Novi 2000 to a 2.2L Kenne Bell then had to sell the car thanks to my now X wife and myspace

Since I sold my Stang I have been driving a Harley Davidson supercharged F150 that I just traded in because the 11mpg just got old and have been enjoying the G ever since
