Hi everyone :)

I haven't even taken delivery of my '16 Q70S (AWD w/ Tech Package) because the dealership is still "prepping" the car, but I thought I'd get a head start on the obligatory annoying-new-forum-member questions. In my defense, I used the search function extensively, and did my best to power through the lack of categorized aftermarket modification sections.

I have an UpRev-tuned 350Z Roadster equipped with a NISMO air filter, NISMO cat-back exhaust, and Motordyne plenum spacer. Though I'm very happy with the 8% power gain, I'm still shopping for headers and a pair of HFCs. I want to do pretty much the same thing with the Q70S.

Here's what I've gathered and am still wondering from my searches regarding the availability of aftermarket parts for our cars:
  1. Drop-In Air Filters: A whole bunch of brands available
  2. Plenum Spacers: None; instead, go for Motordyne's intake manifold
  3. Headers: None?
  4. Cat-Back Exhausts: Ark, Borla, Invidia - anything else out there?
  5. HFCs: None - are 370Z ones compatible?
  6. Tune: UpRev (or others) tune possible?

  7. Lowering Springs: None - because AWD (Sport w/ Tech Package)
  8. Spring + Strut Combos: None - because AWD (Sport w/ Tech Package)
  9. Coilovers: None - because AWD (Sport w/ Tech Package)

  10. Infotainment: No "traditional" options - go for GROM VLINE 2
  11. Speaker Upgrades: Go to Crutchfield website and search for 2013 FX37
  12. Subwoofers in Factory Location: Cerwin-Vega VPAS12ST - any others?
  13. Amplifiers: Any will work I suppose?

  14. Winter Setup: Which other OEM Nissan/Infiniti Wheels (other than S50 and GT-R) fit?

Please share your feedback on the above! Have I misunderstood any of them?

I hope I haven't pulled a classic Ban the Newbie Move, and will definitely understand (apologies in advance:unsure:) if this post is removed due to forum guideline violations.
