I didn't like the new front either until I saw one in person. Looks awesome in my opinion. Trade or buy new, I want to get one and am just curious if anyone has done it yet. Wiring up the DRL's should be simple.

Thanks for all of the input!

Nope I 100% agree that it looks more like 350z, if you had them side by side the look identical. The 350 has the reflectors where the LEDs are on the new and the open has no fangs on the '13 bumper like the 09-12 bumper which looks much more aggressive IMO then the old (350) and new ('13 Z).

Before I bought my 13, I was looking for a 12 since I really liked the fangs. Now after I got the 13, the bumper grew on me and now stands out. The 13 does still have fangs, however they are all black and smaller than before.

Black out (remove/get rid of somehow) of the fangs and you've got your 13' front minus the tacky led jewelry
