The sell 40th anniversary replacement calipers. Just add them on yours and sell the ones you have.

The color is awesome, the wheels are nice but not in combination with the 370. Those are wheels I'd expect to see on a more luxury-oriented car. The current Sport Rays are aggressive looking because of their straight lines. I'm not a huge fan of the lights on the bumper or the absence of the fangs. It almost seems like Nissan was trying to retreat to the Z33's styling in that area. Red calipers are a nice touch with that particular body color. The new look of the fuel gauge doesn't really matter to me, because I never had a problem with the current one. It is still an awesome looking car though. Anxious to see the new Blue I am reading about.

As long as I can knock out the front blinkers and use them as a brake cooling duct I cool with it.

Just kidding looks cool make me feel like we all just became members of an exclusive club 370z 2009-2012

They should take some notes from the Amuse bodykit imo.

Instead of making the car sportier, they made it more touring.

urdeliveryguy · 02-08-2012, 10:06 PM

I don't like the new front end, also not too crazy about the new sport wheels though im sure they will grow on me. But I love the fix on the instrument cluster.

Does anyone know what the new non-sport wheels will look like? Any pics?

Jasonle · 02-08-2012, 10:30 PM

I don't like the front either. I'm happy with my 09

They sell a $10 sticker that will fix that instrument cluster. Or you can trade and pay an extra $50 a month in payments for a black cluster. Lmfao.

I like that the fuel gauge is black now, and the fact that the rear fog light cover now serves some function is nice.

Not too sure on the front bumper. The LED's look out of place, but at least there are lines on the bumper that kinda flow with them. I'm disappointed that Nissan didn't integrate DRL's into the headlight housings though. I find that look a lot better than having random lights popping out of the bumper.

Also, never thought I'd say this, but the new bumper makes me realize how much personality the fangs added to the car. Even though the 2013's shape is a little more aggressive, with the 350z style grille, it also manages to look blander than 09-12 Z's.

BTW, The new wheels now look a lot more like an extra swirly version of the lexus IS250's wheels

bigsix · 02-09-2012, 12:03 AM

Is there any reason Nissan would want to attract older buyers to this car? Like Amuse370z said, they've changed the looks to appeal to a different group...

LONDON2012 · 02-09-2012, 12:38 AM

It took 24 hours, but it has grown on me. I would want the base though. Not a fan of the new wheels and red calipers. I think it might look pretty good in the gun metallic color.
