First thing I'm going to suggest is to use the search function.

Secondly, there is a branch of sub sections that are specifically for the 370z (I.E. exterior, suspension, engine, etc.) down towards the middle of the forum index.

You have to understand that there are tons of aftermarket for the car that are still being developed, this car has only been out for about a month in the states. You also have to consider the fact that most of the parts your looking at ($5000 Zele Dual Tip Titanium Exhaust) are manufactured for the JDM community. To get these parts imported into the states, there has to be a demand; you can see that GTmotoring, BPauto, and some other distributors are working hard to get you those parts.

There are some parts available at the moment for the car, such as the nismo exhaust and intake, JWT Intake, and Hotchkis swaybars. Point of the matter is that, your asking for aftermarket parts right AFTER the car has just been released. Give the car a couple months to recognize itself in the states, and we will see as much, if not more, parts available for the 370z in comparison to the 350z.

Cheers

Seems like a new exhaust comes out every couple of days. Must be half a dozen or more available now for the 370. Many are much, much more affordable than the Zele but they are higher than a 350 version like it always is for the new models. There are several HFCs and test pipes now and a couple of intake kits as well.

Just do some searching and good luck with the mods.

it will take a while for more aftermarket products to become available. you won't be modding it much for a while to come.

Time, that's all it takes...time and patience, then you'll be able to get anything that you want, like the 350Z when it came out. All the aftermarkets will want in on the money, s/c, turbos, exhausts, headers, you name it, they'll have it.

As time goes on, more parts will come out, more 370s will sell, the parts will become more abundant, and prices will go down some.

What would give you the impression there would be a large aftermarket? The car JUST came out? (*Beyond Confused*)
