2013 bumper
 
Just curious if anyone knows if the 2013 Z bumpers will fit the 09-12 cars. For anyone looking to give their Z a face lift and the look of the 13 minus the price lol. I'm sure there will be a lot of oem pieces lying around.

I don't know for a fact, but I would assume they would fit. If I bought a '13 Z I'd be doing a swap back to the fanged bumper as the new one looks like a 350Z.

Yup.. I don't like how Nissan keeps going back and forth with the fangs..

I think there are thinner fangs on 2013 and they're blacked out.

Doesn't look to have the fangs like the 09-12...kind of like pseudo-fangs:

Perhaps you'll get one when '13 owners want to switch to amuse!

Not a fan of the led's, I think they should have done brake coolers instead.

I agree. I'd look for a way to remove those awful and tacky looking LED bars - they looked fantastic on 350Zs, but terrible on this car. I'd remove the bar and look to turn them into a duct.

The bumper and LEDs are fine, I just think the fangs are better looking.

Fangs are in and will be classic in the future.
 
The fangs are well integrated into the look of the car. Externally, they are what and will set apart our cars from the earlier and later Z cars. More important the fron end of the 2013 is beginning to look like the previous generation Z, along with many other performance Japanese car (BRZ?).
The only thing we need to really worry about in terms of styling is covering that COMPLETELY OUT OF PLACE silver fuel/temp gage. I suggest one that has sides and pops into place. I would be willing to pay $100 for a well-executed cover. I would even tolerate a carbon fiber cover. Pleeeeeze.

Can someone photoshop blacked out headlights on the new bumper? Curious how it looks with the new fangs and LEDs.

I don't hate it, but maybe if the rest were blacked out. I think this bumper would look great on a black car.
