The thing under the license plate

...Seriously.

I don't get it. If you're getting the car in black why are you worried about the black covering? Also, why are you concerned with BMW owners?

Anyone know how much the JDM fog light is going to cost?

Nope, but I do know that other fog light sets they sell (for the front normally) sell for around $130, with all the wiring and whatnot.

What I do find funny about the issue concerning the JDM fog light, is for the past few years, these have become really popular among the tuner community. We are being offered a stock option, that people pay money for, only to have an ugly red light hanging below their oem bumper, while we have a spot meant for it.

I'm happy about the available spot for the Fog light.

People be nice to this guy though. There is no reason to berate the guy because he has an aesthetics concern.
I think its a legitimate issue for looks, but I do agree he should wait and see it in person before you buy.

The thing isn't that bad to me and it definately isnt a deal breaker. The wide fenders look like a hott puerto-rican chicks big ol booty cheeks, and the fog light is just the butt-hole. i love it!

It also sounds like you want to buy the Z to impress other people. Let me tell you, ignorant BMW guys will bash the Z regardless if it has the rear fog light or not because "It's just a Nissan". If you care about what other people think, then buy yourself a Porsche.

Buy the Z for yourself and enjoy it for what it is. Don't buy it to impress other people.

My

LOL @ bmw guys bashing.
It's a shame to see nice cars being driven by the spoiled ones...
I'm pretty sure that the 370z will shut some mouths.

Alexus · 12-31-2008, 11:53 AM

I'll let you know that an automobile does not need to have a "premium price" or be a "premium vehicle" to compete head-and-heel with high-end sports cars. Some Porsches have a price-tag twice that of the 370Z and are equal, slightly better or inferior performance-wise.

The 370Z is an extremely nice car, period. BMW fanboys will be ******** bricks when I tear them apart wholesale on the highway. The Altima 3.5SE coupe is an entry-level sports car... the 370Z is not. If you love a car just for its badge then you're going to be paying a premium price, but not necessarily for what I'd call a premium automobile.

The Z seems a little pricey to be considered "entry level," when there are sports cars such as the miata, solstice, and genesis. Those seem a little more entry level to me.

Alexus · 12-31-2008, 12:13 PM

I generally categorize sports car with less than 300 hp as being entry-level.

Oh ****... That reminds me!
The other day there was a Hyundia Genesis parked infront of my house!
I don't know how this dude got his hands on one but man it's a nice ride.
I'll post pics once I get home!

Alexus · 12-31-2008, 12:25 PM

The Solstice GXP's 0-60mph time of 5.1 is still very respectable.

A lot of people here crap on the genesis for being a Hyundai, and then those same people get pissed off when the bimmer/porche boys do the same thing to them for driving a nissan. That being said, I refuse to knock the genesis for brand; it seems to be a great deal for the money and looks pretty slick.

I'll wait for crash to chime in about the high quality of the solstice.
