Just picked up my 2013 370z Touring w/Sport and Nav in Gun Metallic. Traded in my 2009 Z for it. The dealer where I located the car must have put pinstripes on it. (screenshots 2 and 3 below) It was a bit of a surprise when I first saw them because I did not ask for them. From what I understand they can easily be taken off... but I kind of like them. They go with the gun metallic color pretty well. Here are some pics... let me know what you think! If you think they are too 70s let me know... but I'm thinking they kind of go with the retro 370z look. They put them close enough to the edge of the hood and window that they really just help to accent the car's lines.

Thanks guys! Yeah I'm getting used to them.

I will say though... there is one thing I am disappointed in with the 2013 as compared to my 2009. The Music Box option that was part of the Navigation package on the 2009 is nowhere to be found! It's like the hard drive is gone!

The only option is to connect your iphone or ipod. There is simply no ability to record a music CD. What gives? I used to love that feature!

Was at a dealership today and saw some 2013s. I didn't take any pics or look at them side by side with an earlier model, but I left with the impression that their sport wheels are a little darker than the previous ones. Was that just the cloudy sky playing tricks on me or are they a shade darker? I do like the new sport rays quite a bit though.

I think the new rays are shaped a little differently too? They look more curved but maybe it's just the color throwing me...

brucelidat · 09-05-2012, 08:07 PM

No, they are definitely shaped differently for sure.

The new sport wheels are almost like a black crome in color...I think that they look better in person than they do in pictures

Oddly, I feel the opposite, I like the pics, but in person I was like SCORE for grabbing one of the few GM 2012 left on the lots round these parts
