The wheels not my taste (those can always be changed), the front bumper seems like overkill --too much going on--I am sure it is functional, and the rear wing doesn't look quite 370Z nismo, ---does not seem aggressive. (maybe I have to see it in person to really judge, videos and pics may not do it justice).

The rear bumper looks killer, and so does the interior! The blacked out headlights I want them!! It is unfortunate that they stopped with the numbering system. Personally speaking it makes the car feel that much more different than your regular Z other than the 40th.

We buy the nismo for the extras, body, suspension, a little more power. I can not say I would upgrade to the 2015 and up, it just doesn't do it for me. I would however like to get a hold of that rear bumper, minus the reflector/fog lamp. Again just my opinion
I saw it in person.....test drove it....yeah....the 09 SR Nizzy is gone...sold her and picked up the 2017 PW Nismo Tech AT.....unless you see and drive 15+, only then can you make a sound decision on whether you like it or not....I absolutely love it in every way. I will say the ride is not as stiff. Kinda weird, but handles better which is weird for me. Not used to the paddle shifting either yet. As you can see from my original post I was sketchy on the new look of the Nismo, I thought I was not going to like the wheels, until the sun hit them and I saw the detail and extreme amount of metallic glaring back at me along with the rest of the Nizzy glazed in pearl. The front bumper, I too thought it was too busy, until I saw it in person and seen how well it flows with the entire car itself. The interior has an entirely different feel to it. The only thing I can truthfully say I miss is the all leather steering wheel, not a fan of the suede wrap. iMHO it was a huge upgrade, as a lot of the features I wanted my 09 to have. I also prefer OEM vs AM on specific areas of the Z. Again seeing and driving it in person changed my entire outlook.
