Each to their own. I'm in the crowd that thinks the decals were a lazy way out. Clearly it seems like Nissan is just clearing the parts bin.

Realistically, I think Nissan should've at least set up a package that addressed some of the most pertinent issues with the car: CSC and cooling. I think the jury's still out on the Exedy clutch. The cooling is such a joke, though. I mean they gave the Nismo a redesigned bumper with blocked off brake ducts, and stuck solely suspension/chassis upgrades. Downforce wasn't even a real consideration.

In the grand scheme of things, the Z was never meant to be completely thoroughbred like a Porsche. In 2009 this all was still surely passable, and the whole stretch into 2019 as the same car is a tired-out rant, but yeah, a commemorative Anniversary car should've really had more to it.
