New to the 350z. I need help with....
I just bought my 07 350z HR, and I've been trying to find a few things.
- Aftermarket headlight assembly
- Small rear spoiler (black)
- Racing style seats and harness seat belt (frame included?)

1) Look up Depo headlights , very good lights
2) lots of spoilers...for that honestly you just need to look at the thread of rear spoiler images...blitz spoiler and stock rear lip spoiler are very nice and not overt.
3) talk to Z1 Motorsports in Georgia or Concept Z Performance in Phoenix for good input on racing seat options. They’re the two biggest Z focused retail shops.

Seats, do research, lots of it or you'll spend more than you want to (speaking from experience) best harness bars IMO are the graffiti or fuction. Harnesses is whatever you like. Headlights I would stay OEM or modded OEM, they are hard to beat if you want functionality

Honestly it doesn't matter if I've had any issues with it....I'm only one data point...you gotta decide based on the vast popularity of their headlights versus some people having issues. (which is kinda true of all products...there will always be problems with anything, even Toyotas or any top brand, and the negative gravitates to the internet whereas all the happy people do not take the time to randomly go to the internet and tell a world of strangers that "just so everyone knows I'm having no problems".
I was going to buy a set of Depo personally when I found an OEM set of 06 lights for $300...have had them for years now, and they are a bit better than Depo (of course...Depo is much less money but they're the best of the non-oem lights from every bit of feedback I found). I had to convert the 6-pin 06 lights to fit a 4-pin 350z, but it wasn't so bad with patience and thinking and as always help from this forum.
Ideally though....stay with a set of OEM headlights, Bi-Xenon, they're very nice, although I'd still love a set that matches contemporary higher end cars....they light up more of the road when I'm behind say a modern Beemer...very clear light and very very wide beam....errrr....hmmm....so that's why they're called Beamers....knew I was really smart. Momma was wrong.

Why are you replacing your headlights to begin with?
Going to aftermarket lights is a downgrade for an '06+ car. Might look cool to some but in terms of performance, you're better off upgrading your stock '06+ lights.
If you are replacing due to damage (crash, lenses crazed over, etc.), as was stated, OEM is best with Depo the best aftermarket replacement for OEM. I have one near new OE I picked up from a local part-out, and one Depo in my car. I opened them up to go big on bulbs, igniters, and ballasts (but none of the fancy looks stuff). NO regrets, can't tell the difference between them. Don't even remember which is which.
