I personally think for a car that has been out for 6 months there are quite a few parts. Below is a list of confirmed parts that are out. Is there something else you are really after?

Intakes: Stillen G2/G3, R2C, Injen, Takeda, plus a few others. K&N and HKS make drop-in filters
Exhaust: Stillen, Invidia, Fast Intentions
Cats: Stillen, Berk, AAM, Fast Intentions
Test pipes: Berk, GTM,
Headers: Stillen
Coilovers: Tein, JIC, HKS, and a few others
Springs: Eibach, H&R, Tanabe
Sway bars: Hotchkis and Stillen
Front Comber arms: SPC
Rear camber arm/toe kit: SPC, Eibach, and Ichiba
Tune: Cobb AccessPort, Techosqaure, and soon UpRev
Twin Turbo: GTM, AAM, or HKS
Big Brake Kits: Rotora, Stoptech, Brembo, and the factory Akebono for non-sport models
Rotors: Stoptech and Rotora
Lines: Stoptech
Pads: Project Mu (2x), Ferado, and Hawk (3x)
Front lips: Kenstyle and Kenstyle knock-off by RavSpec, factory sport lip, and factory non-sport lip (this will work on the sport model also).
Rear: RavSpec rear spats, and rear diffuser (coming soon)
Engine Covers: Status Elite, and Ebay
Grills: Factory Midnight Grill, custom factory grill (modified), or Iconic
Spoilers: Factory, TK knock-off by Mach III, Grubbs "Euro" spoiler, Stillen
Roof Spoiler: Stillen, RavSpec

Most suspension parts will only fit the RWD, with the exception of springs and rear camber arms. If you want to highly modify the suspension the AWD is the wrong platform.

That is all I can think of, but that is off the top of my head, and I am sure I am missing something. I little searching goes a long way, but if you can't find what you are looking for replay back and I will let you know what is available.

Edit: Or do I have to get the Tanabe Medalion for the 07-08 G35 Sedan?

It's near stock sounding with just a slight increase in volume, with very little rasp (just a slight amount until the exhaust wams up, then its gone) and absolutely no drone. I'd highly reommend this to anyone that drives their G sedan everyday and is not looking for an ultra aggressive set-up.

I have the Cobb now, but I may try out the UpRev (I still can't say I am completely satisfied with the Cobb AccessPort). UpRev is just down the road from me in Austin, so no issues there for me....

EDIT: I just saw in another thread in the engine section that they released it on last Friday (8/28). I will double check this with UpRev....

I promise it will take you at least 5-6 hours. Go on G35driver or My350Z and ask anyone that has installed headers what they think, and I think you will agree. Really, that is not that big of a deal, but not worth it unless you have done all other possible breathing and tuning mods. Then if you think 6+ hours to install, and 5-10HP is worth $700+, go for it. Headers and Y-pipes seemed to be good mods on the Maxima, but neither does a whole lot on the VQ'ed Z/G. I am pretty sure this is one reason the Maxima puts out a lot less power to start with.... There is more room to improve.

I will add, I am not saying headers are a bad mod. It is just not where I would start, and I would consider waiting for some others to come out. As far as I know Stillen is the only one to offer headers right now. They "claim" 14HP/12TQ, and I think most will agree that Stillen's claims are very generous (most of their products gain half of what they claim at best--they claim 23HP on their 04 G35 sedan exhaust and I got 7HP on mine).

They claim 18HP on their Gen 3 intake for the G37, most people are getting in the 5-10HP range. They claim almost 20HP for their exhaust, and all are getting much less. I think it is safe to say you will get less than the 14HP they claim with their headers. Maybe some others will come out, but I have not seen a G/Z gain more than 10HP by themselves (maybe Crawford headers on the 350Z gained 10+HP, but that is it).

I am all for someone to prove me wrong, and really the cost of the Stillen headers is not bad. I would like to see someone try them out. I would even be willing to contribute some $$ for some before/after dynos. Unfortunately, past testing has shown that our exhaust manifolds breath pretty well compared to other cars.

EDIT: So, I did some searching after I posted this, and I found a good post on another website. I would check it out. It looks like he lost a crap load in the midrange (TQ), and there were negligible HP gains up top (5HP). As usual, Stillen hopped on and said that the gains were not normal, but the dyno's say enough for me about Stillen's headers. Take a look at this: Stillen Headers on 370z - Page 5 - Nissan 370Z Forum. I also found a few post that covered the install, and all said it was a PITA, and a 6+ HR install (and fitment was not great)....

I have attached a picture comparing our factory manifolds/headers to the Stillen (I got this pic from the above link). Not much difference, and I am guessing the Maxima headers look nothing like the stockers on the G37 (my Maxima manifolds looked a lot different).
