Default Buying used 370z - options questions

What are the differences between 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012? I'm not too concerned with too much performance wise, they all have the same engine and tranny (right?)

Is the factory backup camera on the 370z always in the Nav screen? Some pictures are in the rear view mirror.

I want Navigation. I'm told this requires the Sport Package (limited slip diff, fancy wheels, sport brakes). Is this true?

I would like the illuminated kick plates and splash guards, can these be added by a local dealer if I buy one that doesn't have them?

Been reading around for the last few days and I can't seem to get a good answer short of 2011 vs 2012 getting a new oil cooler. Thanks in advance!

Keep reading...a lot of the info is already here. Several sticky threads.

Nav requires touring, not sport. There was a Nav change in 2010+ in terms of software IIRC. Something to be aware of.

Plates and guards can be done after: several sponsored vendors sell them if you check out the vendor for sale...DIY threads exist too.

even if you get a pre-2012 you can install an oil cooler, but i may not be understanding what you are saying about that part of the post
