Rear bumper - hitch cover???

Anyone know what that is on the bottom of the rear bumper- There is some sort of tow hitch cover which I know is impossible. Future rear camera?

I bet aftermarket rear bumper sections will be in high demand shortly after release. I plan on looking at a rear diffuser to put back there.

The piece in the center of the rear bumper is where the third brake light "Fog Light" go on the Euro Spec 370Z. Nissan did not feel it was necessary to remove this for the US Spec Z, so on our cars it is just a cap.

I have a feeling that the Euro Fog Light Mod will be a popular addition to the US Z Tuners.

I'm interested to see if aftermarket aerokit manufacturers will remove this for US 370Z sales....

I just watched Batman Begins again and saw those! I wonder if those will be available on the base model or if you have to get the touring model for that option...
