I just purchased a 2017 370z Sport. I've already installed a TWM Performance Type R shift knob, I have their short shifter on order. I also have a RJM Performance clutch pedal on order (thanks Ryan). Both of those will be installed next week. My car is in the tint shop right now getting limo tint on side and rear windows, tail lights smoked (paint) and carbon fiber wrap on spoiler, mirrors and door handles. I'll post up some pics when I get it back today. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I've got a Fast Intentions TDX catback with 18" resonators, carbon fiber mufflers and prismatic tips on order (thanks Kevin). I won't receive the exhaust until probably September.

Congrats & welcome.

You've added some nice bits already.

You'll love the FI exhaust & the RJM pedal makes a noticeable improvement in clutch feel.

Thanks. While waiting for my approval on this forum I read a lot of posts, that's how I found out about all the mods I'm doing. I just got my car back from the tint shop, here are some pics.

Looks great, but I give you a year before you're ticketed for the tinted rear lights and limo tint.

Hate to be a buzz kill, but in California it's not a matter of if, but when.

You should see my Eclipse. Completely blacked out for the last few years, no problem. The tail light aren't that dark, they just look like it in the pic. Plus, I have friends in high places just in case.

Here's what my Eclipse looks like and I've had cops right behind me.

digging the carbon fiber mirrors and door handles!

you should look into coating the wheels or getting some black wheels to match up everything black with grey

Funny you mention that. I took my car in yesterday to get the wheels powder coated gloss black. I also have black badges on order.
