Default New 370z, need modification advices

Hi guise, proud new owner of a 2012 370z base package. Looking into getting tint, can someone refer me to a shop. I live in LA/Inland empire area. Also anyone would like to share what modifications would suit base for the Z. Not really looking to modify engine or exhaust cause i got the extended warranty im looking mostly for aesthetic mods but if there are suggestions with engine/exhaust mods without breaking warranty, im open to that also. Baiscally, any advice would be appreciated.

cat back or intakes wouldn't void your warranty, especally if you went with nismo, but any brand you want. I would do a drop, but do it right the first time and get coils, camber, and toe arms. just my .02

Stillen long tube headers, Berk high flow cats, Motordyne exhaust or Fast Intentions exhaust. Uprev osiris reflash tune to give you noticeable gains.

catback exhaust shouldn't void, i'd get something like the fast intentions exhaust. if/when i decide to get a 370, I am definitely at least slapping a tint on and either spacers/springs or wheels/coils. I like the stillen splitter, and if you don't already have a black car then plastidip the fangs off the front bumper and the rear valence thing above the exhaust tips as well as get the jdm fog light. I like the sport spoiler, and would get a lsd and the akebono brakes if you're into those sorts of things. I personally hope to opt for the base sport package.

You should just ask the dealer if it will. I asked mine! They said if I were to get a catback exhaust I would have to attach the OEM one when I take it in for maintenance etc.

Congratulations on your new car, and welcome to the forum.

Foist, upgrading the air intake and exhaust will NOT affect the Nissan warranty. I cannot speak to the extended warranty, since those are provided by a third party. (It's not from Nissan. You know that, right?) If a dealer gives you any grief about the new parts, push back.

Second, DON'T TOUCH THE ECU (i.e., reflash) until you are out of warranty.

Third, set yourself a budget and stick with it. If you do the work yourself--and with the great DIYs on this forum you can--you will be amazed at how much you can do for very little $$.

Of course, if you want a really unique car, don't do anything to it. You will have the only one like that on this forum anyway!

Good luck!
