clavinova Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 So my girlfriend has given me £1,000 to spend on my 350Z 08 plate as a birthday prezzie. Now I have read most of the posts on this forum and could spend that amount 10 times over - but I have to be realistic So simple question - you have £1000 on styling - where would you spend it ? For info car is black with GT pack and baseball interior. Tks all Clav Quote
DoogyRev Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 One of two of the following if your budget can stretch Exhaust Berk HiFlow Cats Dual Nismo Intakes or JTW Pop Chargers Remap New Gear Knob Quote
Husky Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 exhaust, maybe intake, some cleaning products, tank of fuel, smile Quote
srobrien Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Spend the money on a weeks holiday or something, don't start modding, first its one thing then the other until you have spent a bucket load of cash on mods that you will never get your cash back on, that you will either have to sell with the car for no extra or strip down and sell for peanuts when you come to sell her.....or you could put the cash towards a decent set of rims Quote
Wasso Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 exhaust, maybe intake, some cleaning products, tank of fuel, smile Husky you are terrible at sales... Try these... Custom White dials including centre console, LED under strut lighting, LED Front Audi style driving lights, LED side step lights, BOSE iPod hack. Pizza and you'll have some left for spacers, CAI, plenum spacer and maybe half a tank of fuel!! Simple!! Quote

BulletMagnet Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 Get a new set of speakers to replace existing ones and make sure you install a powerful subwoofer, then play a track that hits 33Hz alot to show your missus how thankful you are Quote

Lexx Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 er.....the OP said for styling...... So maybe give him so ideas for spoilers/liips/skirts..... Quote
Wasso Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 er.....the OP said for styling...... So maybe give him so ideas for spoilers/liips/skirts..... LED lighting is styling, in a round about way? Quote
Lexx Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 er.....the OP said for styling...... So maybe give him so ideas for spoilers/liips/skirts..... LED lighting is styling, in a round about way? Aye, but majority of other suggestions ain't. Whilst I concure Id rather spend the cash on remap etc, the majority responses dont look like they read the original request by the OP. Quote
Beau Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 A nice set of rims! Once you look after them and keep them in good nick you will get most of your money back on them! Quote

clavinova Posted June 2, 2011 Author Posted June 2, 2011 Guys - excellent suggestions really - thanks. Only problem now is that I need at least £2000 as I really like the BOSE upgrade suggestion - can't push my luck with the other half on spending more unfortunatley. That being said - I have to say that rim's seem to be the best bet - I like the ones in the photos in the post above - where did you get them from? Thanks again guys - much appreciated. Clav Quote

Clav If you mean me, then they are Volk SF Challenge in 19", but you'd have to increase your budget quite a bit for them. Got them from a trader that has sadly closed shop. Quote
choptop Posted June 3, 2011 Posted June 3, 2011 5 topless french maids Don't think this will go down well with his other half .......................but a great idea Quote
clavinova Posted June 4, 2011 Author Posted June 4, 2011 can anyone suggest a good rim store - is there anyone on this forum who does this for a living ? Clav Quote
Walbertonio Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 Think CS has some interesting wheels, Rarerims and Tarmac too? Quote
Stew Posted June 4, 2011 Posted June 4, 2011 often has used wheels which wouldn't break the bank. CS, Rarerims, Tarmac and even Husky I think..... They will all do wheels. Quote
