I've thought front styling was gorgeous on 370Z's since I first saw them in late '08. My favorite part about this car other than driving it is looking at it from the front or side. I need to do something about the back methinks.

I think the Z looks great from some angles but really weird/ugly from others.

Yep, I definitely do like how this 370Z front end looks (but still undecided about the back end of my roadster.) Lol I dont think os shark's teeth when I look at the fangs, I think my looks more like whiskers of a catfish!

I don't notice it. Then again, my car is black. You could always change the bumper if it bothers you that much. Amuse front end looks sweet.

I fell in love with every part of the car from the 1st time i saw it, and to me it's still hot as hell. The only thing i think is ugly is the nissan emblem.

lol like from the rear? And "weird/ugly/gorgeous" is what I call the thing. From the side, and from the front, I think it's the sexiest car on the road. But from the rear, well...it's definitely aggressive, and sometimes I like it, then sometimes I don't. Ah, well, art is subjective, and it's definitely automotive art.

I actually think the rear 3/4 view is one of the best. Also the car looks fantastic if you are infront of it and above... like looking out a window down on the car.

It has a lot of flattering angles and a few unflattering ones IMO. Of course everyone's view of the car is different.

The thing I really like about the Z is it's a love it or hate it design. There's no real inbetween, which means the designers did one hell of a job. All the best designs are like that.
