Lots of info on tire noise in the wheels and tire section. I'm still running the original tires. Going by what I've read, these are very noisy and there are MUCH quieter tires available.

I used their free sample which was 9 sg ft of their light-weight material. I was able to cover most of the hatch area, up to the rear half of the shock towers. If I were to do it over, I'd use the light-weight material for the doors and use one of the heavier mats for the hatch area. And I would have started with the shock towers and worked my way back - they are a big noise source and I wish I had covered them before I ran out of mat.

Very good for me. I've had the hatch springs and front wheels (discoloration) replaced. The driver door window rattled and needed adjustment. A few other minor items. All under warranty.
Other than the SLU, I've noticed others have reported oil consumption and clutch slave cylinder problems. I'm sure others will chime in with more gotchas to look for. No car is perfect, and the 370Z is no exception, but, so far, it seems to be very reliable for a sports car that a lot of ppl drive like a sports car.
