GT40 has stripes why you guys don't hate? 911 GT3 has a big wing like our nismo out of the box so it's cheap?? Come on guys you all know the nismo is a track version of the 370. Of course it will look aggressive. If you think it's rice and cheap, then you've bought a wrong car in the first place. Also, as long as it's a z34 you won't see a turbo v6 version of it.

There's nothing wrong with a two tone but the accent color should be complimentary to the main body color. The white 2014 Nismo is the only one that looks decent.
They should have done flat black for an accent off the Mag black BUT not do that much of the side skirt only the very bottom.
The pin stripe looks decent on the mirror but the front and rear do not enhance the look at all.

As for the cars you listed- R8 doesn't have a two tone, the Ford GT is an american car, and american muscle cars since the 50s-60s always used stripes etc so its common and accepted for that market. I didn't hear anyone say anything about the Nismos big wing either. ----

Well, my point is looks are subjective. Although I agree some of what you said, I am sure there will be a lot 2014 nismo fans out there still. Just like when the 370 just came out, the 350 guys called it a joke, a catfish a whatever but we still love it. Opinions are fine but no need to bash on the 2014 nismo.

I don't think the 2014 looks horrible just much less appealing wise then the 2013 Nismo. Again, the white 2014 Nismo looks great, the magnetic black looks bad. The Gray accent color does not compliment the gloss black paint.

Looks are subjective for sure but in my opinion they didn't do the best job for the last year of the 370z. They could have done black housing for the headlights, the new Nismo emblem with the red O and called it a day. Those would have been a nice little touch that's tasteful.

I'm sure we will see some nasty looking 2014s that we will think look great but until then it hasn't grown on me yet.
