Someone out there with a '13 front would rather have a '12 - '09 front and vice versa...

Nope, would rather have my '13 front end and LED DRLs.

probably, not sure. there was a guy mentioned you can just pull on it and the tabs let loose, and you can completely remove that piece from the cluster to paint.

Painting it is not an option IMO. I can't paint it to look as good as factory. I would either have to do it by hand (probably not the best idea) or mask off the tiny amber colored portions and spray it (which would be very difficult and probably not very precise as well as high potential to screw up the paint finish during removal of the tape).

I think he was responding to my question about the different colors of the gauge display (not the entire front bumper). But with regard to the front bumper, I might... I really like the fangs

Black Sharpie.

The washer fluid bottle will get in the way of the DRL's, but that can be fixed.

The only modding necessary was the the washer fluid tank. The passenger side LED hits the tank. I had my guys melt the tank down and mold it to the Back of the LED.

The clutch on the 13s seemed softer to me. This was in the show room. I didnt want to drive it

Mine was really stiff. A trip to the strip seems to have lightened it up.

/\ what was the resolution regarding the Z1 stainless brake lines not being plug and play for the '13's with the akebono's?

I have a '13 Nismo and will be upgrading the lines again like on my last one ('10 model) but I will wait until z1, forged etc redesign their lines to work with the new Z's.

Then again, the '13 nismos have upgraded hard rubber lines stock ala the GTRs so with my luck, they'll be different than everyone else's still.

It's been a month, was told by Z1 last Friday they were shipping the revised fronts. No tracking or anything so I guess we'll see. I think however he's just sending the one line. So ill have a line and a brass block left over that's gonna collect dust. If you order online he told me you can click 2013 now.

Take a pic, I can tell what you'll need.

I prefer stiff clutches and my 13 cluch feels pretty stiff. I would love to put a ACT HDSS in it though!
