I got one! (pics inside)

Bought it on Friday Aug 31st, with the Navi and Premium Package (6MT), black interior. Got it for $200 over invoice. I leased it because I get bored of cars easily and like to try things new. But I am lovin every part of it. Never had I ever pulled up and someone say "damn that's a nice car" (previous vehicles: 96 VW GTI, 99 Toyota Solara, 96 BMW 328is Coupe, 05 Acura RSX Type-S) and yet i've managed to do it within 2 days of ownership with this car....and better yet, it was a bunch of girls that I didn't even know. This thing is definitely a chick magnet....anyways since it's a lease I don't plan to do too many mods. I want to get the OEM lip, tint, and maybe some type of intake. I had a CAI on my acura and loved the way it sounded, but I had to do a lot of modification to the car to make it fit (different washer bottle, cutting some plastic to make the tube fit). So as a newbie I have a few questions:

1. What's a good store (online or actual) to buy OEM lip, intake, other mods, etc...?
2. I liked the sound of the cold air intake in my Acura, what's a good sounding intake that doesn't require any cutting or any other type of modification to the car/body?
3. Will a drop-in-filter change the way the car sounds?
4. I loved the lowered look, what's a good amount to lower it (inches) and how badly is the ride comfort changed? (I had coilovers for the acura, but damn it made the car too stiff, I still want to keep the "luxury-ness" of the car)

Thanks in advance for your helping a newbie out. In the meantime enjoy the pictures (sorry, the iPhone camera's quality isn't that great)

Welcome to Driver!!

1. we have plenty of venders on this site look at the sponsors or in the marketplace.
2.CAI are pointless just get a short ram intake. the most popular are stillen/z-tube and pop charger/z-tube, but if you really like CAI the best would be IJEN
3. not really
4. https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-suspension/65190-g35-350z-aftermarket-coilover-springs-shocks-spec-s-w-updates.html

SEARCH IS YOUR FRIEND!!!

i'm liking this site already....people don't just say "use the effing search engine &$@*#^". I see that in a lot of other car enthusiast sites and it's just a big turn off. But in my defense I had a whole lot more questions which I answered using the search engine.... the 4 remaining questions I had are the ones I had a hard time finding using the search engine.

but thanks for the answers and the warm welcoming messages!

Congrats on the ride - That is my second favorite color on these cars (next to black, of course!).
