Some of those purplish looking shots are awful... otherwise I really like the first one (white)... I am honestly indifferent to the front end change but I could get used to it... the wheels I could take or leave (pretty much the same as the 40th just warped).

Eventually want to get my front end repainted from the stupid rock chips... maybe I'll go '13 bumper after I see it in person. Comes across as less aggressive though.

Digging the leather on the Nismo... they'd def do a lot better if they offered that in the US.

leather nismo's...

rear windshield wiper...lol

Question, I never noticed about the JDM model, but why is the e-brake still on the US Driver side? Wouldn't that make it awkward to reach for?

also they have the cupholder directly in their way

That must suck.... it's actually one of the things I like about the Z, its out of the way and I can drive more comfortably.

I think that is the way it's supposed to be, WE have it the wrong way! They didn't bother swapping it around for us.

The 350Z bumper meets the 370Z. New wheels too. Not enough for me to sell mine for one of these but I'd buy this one if something happened to mine.

I dislike the new front bumper. I like that they added LED's, but I don't like the position, and I don't like the "double chin" appearance.

The new sports rims look more organic, but I think it goes against most of the lines of the car. The new base rims are just the base roadster rims that were difficult to clean and are, imo, not as attractive as the old base coupe rims.

It's still an attractive car, but I don't see the changes as upgrades.

the rims on the orange z is UGLY.

That's on JDM, no idea if it'll be on USDM.

The wiper has always been in the Jdm/euro spec cars. It does seem like the Sports package no longer has the wing and chin spoiler

Maybe the Japanese simply realize how much better that looks.
