Preferred First Aftermarket Upgrade

You just drove home that new CR-Z, your watching the threads and thinking about what you want to do first.

Vote and comment on what would be your preferred first aftermarket install.

Note: With a max poll limit of 10, cannot capture everything. But based on previous threads, these are what we see most.

I was torn between whether I wanted to do springs, or wheels/tires first. Both of these are a must for me, and with just these couple of mods the CRZ looks amazing!

Ended up ordering the springs, because I only have my garage for about 3 more weeks and I want to install them myself before I move. :grin:

^ yep, kind of my thinking. Lets lower it and get the rear flush and go from there.

On the Rear and Front Aero kits. I understand there are a lot of options. If your are going for a front spoiler, just pick Front Aero kit and make a post here to tell us what specific piece you are getting. Same for the rear aero kit.

i went with LED lights first cus it's cheap, quick and easy.

then would be Lowering, then rims and tires.

something you didnt add too was Tint. which was the first thing i did :p
Aye, tint and badging/debadging was on the list. But stuck with a max of 10... Sorry.

:rolleyes:

man this is a good thread. im the kind of person that buys exactly what i want the first time. so that puts me not getting springs or that expensive as sh*t intake first... man i dunno. when i pick up the car, window tint will be first followed by stereo equipment install *amps/sub/speaker replacement* since i already have some

i dont know why, but my first mod is always an intake or something with the suspension. I bought my intake and coilovers for my last car at the same time and for the Z i got my intake first. Not sure why.

i cant get wheels and tires until im dropped. i hate that look on my car personally

Lowering springs? really. Damn. Car is so low already.
:rolleyes: Does that mean that crzperformance.com doesn't want to sell the Eibach Springs right on the main CRZ product lineup page??

I'll help ya out. They (crzperformance) have them at a pretty good price...

I am personally am extremely pleased with the 1" lowering choice.

:thumbsup:

Actually I lied. I forgot that Mrs. GM3 bought me a center arm rest.
Hindsight being 20/20 probably should made one line item named "OEM Upgrade".

I guess a lot of you guys are car guys and like to "tinker" with your cars. I'm not, I bought this car because I liked everything about it, not would it could possibly be.

Usually when I spend over $20,000 for something I don't think that I need to pump more money into it.

I guess I just don't get the "mod" thing, I think alot of it really looks stupid, but then again I love to play golf and I spend my share of money on it, and people don't get it either. So, you like what you like, and I don't blame you for doing it if that's what you like.

Did I mention "I don't get it"?

Ah, but it is in large part what keeps the forum interesting and fun to be a part of. Did you vote?

I always look at the after market stuff before buying a car. I like to personalize it to my taste. So far the over all look with my factory options are just right. I wish Honda offered a upgrade to the suspension.

I have used eibach suspension parts in the past so when the
currently in development PRO-STREET Coil-Over Kit is released I will probably go with it. I really don't want it lowered much if at all. I just want to tighted it up a bit.

Stock is ok if you never plan to push the car to its limits. Stock is ok if you are going to get rid of it in a year or so. I have just never been able to leave it stock.

Its a hobbie. :thumbsup:

No Aero kits??

Looks like this pole got bumped off the main page with a PWP verses NSBP poll. No votes yet. Anyone up for a new simular poll to this one - only this time allow for multiple choice. Will take out the Aero kits since they didn't really get any votes. Will add OEM upgrades and tint. Better define external to include badging.

Maybe better results to see everthing that everyone is thinking about? Will wait a couple of days so we don't bump the PWP-v-NSBP poll.
