Besides the red calipers, gun metallic rims, what is the difference between a '09-'12 and '13 Nismo that makes the '13 better looking?

Crappy lighting aside, what's the difference between this ('13 Nismo on a dealer lot)http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/06/ede2ujen.jpgand this ('11 Nismo)?http://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/06/nasugu8a.jpgI don't see it.

Those details sound small but it looks sharper to me.

It just needs a more aggressive lip kit. Here's one I designed/sketched.

Well, for some people they don't care but some do. Just go check how many people powder coated their wheels and calipers on their 09-12 Nismo and be super happy with it. Again, looks are subjective. I personally like the 13' Nismo better.

Don't get me wrong, the color of the rims and brakes are nice on the '13s, but it doesn't make it look like a different car. When I look at these pics I see the same car with two minor detail differences. It's not as if its such a dramatic a change as the new front end with LEDs and definitely not something that makes me love one so much more than the other. To me they're both sweet. Now if the body or kit changed that's another conversation all together.

IMO, the front bumper in 12' seems longer, maybe just the different angle of the photo

I couldnt agree more. I went to the nissan dealship today to get some crush washers and noticed they had a 2013 there and the first that jumped out was the ungly front bumper... What were they thinking...

I usually just buy new rims, stock rims on most cars don't look good you know.

I think pretty much all of the 370z rims have looked good, but aftermarket rims certainly stick out on this car.

Most non Z drivers can not tell the difference between a 370, a Porsche or a 350Z. So to say the 2013 370 looks more like a 350 is mildly amusing.

Most cars don't come with Rays Engineering rims (Volk, if you don't know by its mother name) as an option.
