You could paint the grill black to match the car, i've seen that done and it looks pretty sweet. Maybe upgrade the headlights and tint the tail lights too. Give it the whole "blacked out" look if you're into that. Then of course rims but that's kinda an expensive upgrade most of the time.

I painted the grille on my Q black to match the car. Didn't prep it well enough, though, so it has flaked and chipped badly. It looked really good before it started chipping though.

Definitely the Cefiro glass 2-piece headlights, Cefiro V.I.P grille, white L.E.D turn signals, VHT nightshade for tailights (possibly corner lights? I don't know...opinions?), and a "Brilliant blue" H.I.D kit
Then maybe towards winter time when I have more money some black 18/19's with a silver lip

as to nightshade, you can also just put tape over the trunk and paint it without taking it off. ive seen many websites that do it like that, and it turned out good. just make sure you tape it very very well. i would then get the headlights tinted too. probably 3 layers of black and 5 layers of polyurethane. i dont know how you will manage to keep the "INFINITI" silver though, thats a lotta effort taping. maybe you can paint everything and then sand the paint off the INFINITI. it will definitely look good at the end.

Drop of some sort. I'm on progress/blues and love it (sig pic is stock don't mind it).
Manual trans swap. I hate automatics.. with a passion.
Some nice OEM wheels. Don't fall into the over played fads please.
Open your tails remove the amber piece. Lightly smoke the clear part. See here http://memimage.cardomain.net/...l.jpg
If your going to do HID's go with projectors. Plug and play kits look like s*** and give you crap for output. And also I recommend going with a 4300k kit. I know people with a 6k in their projectors and hate it because their visiblity isn't as good.
A nice cattman catback and y-pipe. do the y first releases a nice burst of power.
LED that interior. I've done my whole interior without the bulbs, I've had horrible experiences with them. It's very easy to do and soldering irons are cheap.
If you don't already have one get a auto dimming mirror. Best thing ever I'm glad I found one at the boneyard.
I can keep going but I don't feel like it tonight. lol

Ok Nrw I like your suggestions. Very intriguing. Headlights are a must. Drop is kinda impractical cuz of this typical Chicago weather 
The trans swap would be ideal, a little too much money tho. I hate auto too, you have no idea. Next car will be manual no doubt.
And yeah I would love to put some of the M45 wheels on there. Would those fit? I have no idea.
And untrueparadox, are you sure cuz I dont wanna do what you said then end up messed up. Not saying I dont believe you, but just rather be safe then sorry lol.
Nrw, if you could find me a link to a projector H.I.D kit and the exhaust stuff, I would greatly appreciate it. 
Thanks guys for all your help =D

Projectors you do yourself. Read up on HIDplanet.com for how to's and such. Very imformative site. Also compares many projectors against eachother so you can get an idea of what you'll get for output.
Cattman.com for the exhaust. Your better off emailing him for your needs since the site is old and is in need of a update.
I hear what your saying about weather/roads. But it's not all to bad. Keep your stock wheels and throw some snow tires on them run those in the winter. I've gone up hills that 4x4 trucks got stuck on in my car w/snow tires lol.

I like the exhaust stuff on cattman though. How much of an exhaust system should I get? Because I definetely could not afford the entire thing lmao.Ypipe gives you something like 15-20 whp. Definatley a nice kick in the arse.
As for the m wheels. Gotta pay to play young grasshopper.

Would I need to make any mods to fit the y-pipe in?http://depoautolights.com/infi...b2eb8

Angle eyes... I personally only like them on bimmers and that's it. Same thing with the audi led strip I think it only looks good on those. On anything else it looks a little 
even more so when you don't even have a projector..

Which Y-pipe would I need the "Federal Emissions" or "CA/NLEV 50 State" one?

As for if your cali spec or fed spec you have to open your hood and go to the vehchicle info plate, shiny metal plate on firewall.The top row is the Vehicle Identification Number, starting with J. The second row is model information. The first five characters are BLHUL. The 12th character is the destination
V = California
U = US, not California

But the important thing you have to remember is that it is your car. Don't do stuff to it to make the masses happy. Do what makes you happy. It's not worth the hassle of trying to please everyone because you can't. And will just cause more stress for yourself in the long run. Also if someone is saying something about your car in a negative way don't worry about it. It's your car and if it makes you happy f*** them.

| You know what really gives the car a meaner, sportier look? Infiniti makes a spoiler for the 99 I30. I have one on mine and it looks a hell of a lot better. It's an OEM part, and you can probably find it on ebay or an infiniti parts store |
even cheaper at a boneyard..

I have been trying to make it what I can. And I don't know if I'm gonna go with the spoiler. I have a whole priority list setup for this car right now. First and foremost is the headlights. Mine are yellow and s***. Look terrible. I don't know fersure yet though.
