No pun intended, but you seem pretty anal about the "butthole" and bimmers. Are you sure you want the Z? If it bothers you, pass on the car already. Check it out in person. It really is not that bad.

Sorry for the off-topic but I get sick of the butthole comments.

what butthole.......hello ???

ohh wait...the fake fog lamp in the back??

man par4 i love the z.. im getting one. but i still can't get over the tackyness of nissan and not taking off that fake fog light, the bumper would look SO much cleaner and sexier

if there is self healing...im convinced on the black.

what fake fog light do you speak of?

^^ The US model has a black rectangle plastic on the rear bumper.
on the JDM model and CDN, there's an actual LED bar in it.....looks like an F1 light in the back

AHH...in the rear not the front...i want F1 light :)

^^ if you get the Z
order the parts from Canada and install it
will look nice and complete

Is the wiring there? If not, does it act as a running light - always on when the lights are on? Easy to tap into the wires that are back there it there isn't already a pigtail there already.........

Hey everyone, I've been hearing some negative comments about Nissan's paint quality, especially the black paints. Some people were complaining that their paint peeled and was orange around the peel area in the 350Z.

I'm thinking about getting a Magnetic Black 370Z next week so I got a little worried. Are these rumors true?

no issues with my black G37s and to tell you the truth never heard of this before now

Excellent.

Also, I saw on a couple UK websites that the 370Z models will be getting a "scratch masking paint job."

Is something like that available on the American models? I'm pretty paranoid about scratches/dings and some of the roads here aren't amazing...

I have it onmy G not sure how well it works yet though

Are you kidding? If so.....:bowrofl:

if not....

Some of the Black Nissans that I have seen do have some orange peel look to their paints, but only along the bottom or in areas that chipping could occur.

I think they do it to hide scratches and prevent chips...

But its not noticeable unless you get very up close.
