Yeah, seems like it would. The bigger question is the wiring for the LEDs.

I'm very interested also. I like those LED's. Only if we could just install LED's fabricated into our current bumpers.

I'm interested in the new front too... but not for the novelty of cool lights. It just looks like you pull off those lights and you may have a brake cooling path???? That's what's intriguing me.

Probably, but it won't be cheap to source one for awhile.

You should just go aftermarket if you want a change

I'd wait until they come out and see if someone wants to do a swap -- I'm sure just as some folks will own the old version and like the new, others will buy the new but prefer the old.

Speaking of such. If you replaced the front clip on the 2013 model you will never know that it a 2013. So after that there's nothing really unique about it. Besides the color change if you go that route.

Not too sure about the new bumper. Maybe it will grow on me?

i like the new bumper as well .... it has a bit more character and it also fits with all the other cars on the road....audi, lexus, vw, mercedese, porsche, ect.....(they all have LED's)

I wonder id they will make it fit the older model I would definitely pick it up

Why would you want your Z to fit in with all the other cars on the road?? IMO, the bumper that fits in with every other car = no character.
