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

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

intake: stillen/z-tube and MD 5/16 Spacer
exhaust: HKS
for the trunk lid im sure you can buy a new 03.5 - 04 one
the headlights you smoke yourself with overlays searh for the name Blue_Batmobile
for the grill take it to a body shop have them paint it or diy search for it
