Agreed. This has been complained about before the Z even hit the showroom floors.

Nissan will change the bumper in a couple years and most likely will get rid of the fangs. The fangs won't prevent someone from buying the z, because it's a small part of the car. I don't care for the fangs.

The Schnoz establishes the car's personality. The fact that we call them "Fangs" implies a certain amount of aggressiveness which suits the car quite nicely.

Whenever a manufacturer does a personality change with the nose there are always a certain number of naysayers. Look at Audi a few years back when they went to that big grill. Everyone whined, now it is a signature of the marque..

The one thing I didn't like about this car when I purchased it was the fangs. I had every intention of changing the front or blacking them out. Three months later and they seem to have grown on me.
