Favorite design cue??
 
What are your favorite design cues on the 370?? Mine are the rear haunches and the way the car sits, followed by the head/taillights

From the overhead view—> The center depression with its two side ceases that starts in the hood and follows-through in the roof.

The way the bottom edge of the rear quarter window sweeps up.

i love the roofline and the shape of the side windows.

probably because i always loved the look of the 240s.

and the GTR shaped a-pillars

I like the overall stance of the car. I also like the door handles and flared area near the rear wheels, although the rocks are taking a toll on this area.

It's hard to pick, but I have agree with Pushing Tin. I talked to a guy Friday about installing a clear bra and he's going to charge me $25 to cover the flared area. Someone else wrote a couple weeks ago they had that area covered...wonder how that's working out?

I had that area done after I had the front installed. It also covers up about halfway up the wheel well. So far so good, but I have been driving my truck a lot more when the roads are covered with gravel. I can take pics if you're interested.

Yes, pics would be great! I'd like to see how high you went up the wheel well.

I like the subtle bulge of the hood. Kinda reminds me of a muscular guy with a suit on. Like the suit is supposed to smooth everything over and make the guy look streamlined, but at the same time, it can't completely conceal the fact that the guy is packing some muscle underneath the Armani. I also like how the bottom of the front fascia has a little curve formed into it at the bottom, especially on the sides. It's a nice change from the plain, straight slab that was the sides of front fascia on the 350.

Okay will do. I'm at work until this evening. If I have time I'll take some tonight, or tomorrow afternoon when I get home.

Love the wheel flares. Nice aggressive, but still sleek and subtle.

This car sitting next to a 350z is so much meaner and aggressive, menacing even

Here is a angle shot between my 370 and a 350 Nizmo (from the ground up....the guy had done some amazing work on it).

The 370 made all the right changes to get me interested in the Z. The 350 just didn't have it, but the 370 is just right. If there's any single design cue that really sealed the deal for me, it was the reshaped rear end. The new slope and shortened length just seems perfect to me, even without the lip spoiler.
