They took a great car and made it much better.

I have owned:
> '90 Toyota Celica GT (current)
> '98 Ford Mustang GT Convertible (sold)

I considered buying each of the following (no joke, constant online research, visits to dealerships, etc.):

> 350z (sat in it, didn't like it, no point in test driving)
> Honda S2000 (test drove)
> Chevy Corvette C6 (test drove)
> Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (test drove)
> Porsche Cayman S (sat in)
> Porsche Boxster S (sat in)
> Ford Mustang GT California Special (test drove)
> Ford Mustang GT500 (test drove)

I had been car shopping for 1.5 years.

Then, the 370z came out, and I heard some good things about it. I visited the local dealership to check it out. Walking up to the 370z, I started to fall in love with it. I sat down in the driver’s seat, and it sealed the deal. The Nissan engineers really put some time into designing this car. I test drove five 370s for a total of eight test drives before making the decision on what I was going to order.

2010 370z Touring/Sport/Nav Red/black w/carpeted trunk mats & floor mats (I.E. every factory option less the orange illuminated kickplates which I don’t think would look very nice on a red car.)

The 370z was the by far, the best value out of any of the cars that I considered. I could have saved at least $10k and bought the used 911. But the 370z trumps all of the above cars for reasons I can’t fully explain.

I think the kick plates look great, even on my red Z.

There's a DIY out there for replacing the LED with another color. Even if you didn't hook up the power to the orange LED, unlit they would look better than the stock kick plates, imo.

Sounds like you did your homework!

The Mustang GT California Special is NOT so "special". It is an ordinary Mustang GT with ground effects, production plaque and higher price tag (8K to 10K more). In fact the owners of the original 'California Specials" do not allow the owners of the new ones to register in the California Special Registry. The new ones have their own separate registry. Old owners snub the new CS Mustangs....and with some amount of just cause.....
