Default Bought my first Z new in 2012,base model & sport pckg

I haven't had a fun to drive car in about 7 years or so. So when I got the chance to buy a 2012 370Z that came with the Sport package, & i personally like the blackcherry color, but some dont? Anyway since i bought literally the last new 2012 370Z Sport coupe in a 90mile area, right before the 2013's hit the market i only paid $32,450 for the car with a free extended 10yr/100,000mile drivetrain/powertrain warranty for free. Then for $1500 i purchased an extended warranty that covers basically everything else that makes the car run, & most the parts that make it drive. That warranty also applies for 10yr/100,000miles too. Now I have very mildly modified my 370Z with the Nismo R-Tune, long-tube, Cold Air Intakes, which I did end up paying Nissan to install because Nissans service manager said she could heľp me more should I ever need Nissan, or the extended warranty. Ive got the Ark Grip exhaust & the Nissan service manager recommended having it installed by a reputable performance shop. The service manager said if i have the parts installed by a professional and i keep the reciepts that the only way Nissan could deny my warranty claim, or my extended warranty company deny my claim is if they can prove without a doubt that the aftermarket part, or parts, i installed caused the other parts failure. So i dont think I should have a problem with the Nismo R-Tune Cold Air Intakes, or the Ark Grip catback exhaust system, & coming soon a TWM short throw shifter. Im afraid if I go with hi-flo cats that it will void my warranty. The Nissan service manager & i couldnt really think of what would go bad or break bcuz of the cold air intakes & ark cat back exhaust or i would love to make numerous more performance options, but Im sure i will after a while. Thanks all and loving my first Z!
