Default The new 2013 Bumper...Vs the 09-12 HELP!!!!!!!

So the 370z community is 50/50 on this and you guess it
the 2013 new face lift vs the 2012 and under...
Why they took out the fangs? Im sure its so people know its different....
I liked the Fangs.... You think we can replace the OEM from 09-12 for the 13???
If you heard of such sorcery please do tell...I cant find a 2012 Pearl White Sports Packaged 6MT Anywhere in Jersey.....Or even NY as a matter a fact... Koeppal Nissan had one...for 42k Da Fq?
Need your help...Im reluctant to get the 2013 one due to the face lift....
Opinions and Advice please....

I think the wheels bug me more on the '13 than the lack of fangs/LED strip

Seems to be a shortage in your area, I'd look a little out of your bubble if you really want a 2012, I'm sure there are some deals to be had if u are willing to go the distance

i think the face lift is geared toward fitting in with the general look of sports/luxury cars (audi, lexus, porsche, mb, and other random cars) especially the LED strip addition. losing the fangs could be an attempt to lose the aggressive look to attract more buyers with the addition of LED strip.

now the 370z would def be mistaken for a porsche from a distance
