i like the front bumper.... i still preferred the 09-14 Nismo front bumper... but the new one dont look bad at all... just looks different.... but i agree with something... the wheels looks the same as the 2013+ base model but in 19" and damn... why they change the Nismo wing.... for me the 09-14 Nismo wing looks +1,000,000 better than the new one... i some photo shops i see the new Nismo with the old Nismo wing and looks really good!

Down the line, I do see myself slapping the '15+ Nismo body kit on my 40th Anniversary.

It was relayed to me that the aforementioned parts are colored Nissan AG2 (Aztec Red?) for anyone using the touch up option.


I ordered some AG2 to compare with the "red lips" of the 2015 Nismo. While the red color matches, there's this "metallic" sheen to the paint that is not in AG2. Doing some personal research I've discovered a color called "Sparkle Red" by Dupli-Color. Supposedly Nissan calls this color "A15" in their inventory code... but I can't find anything like that from Nissan.

I've ordered a sample of Sparkle Red from Dupli-Color to do some on-hands investigation... or possibly mixing a bit with "AG2" to see if it works. Will report findings ASAP.

Please note this is an experiment for "touch up" purposes when the red lips are damaged by road chips. The lips are supposed to be OEM prepainted when ordered from Nissan. You don't have to order paint for them, if that red is the color you want.

I have been a Z fan since birth. I've had a 1990 300ZX and 2003 350Z. I have to admit, for me, it was love at first sight for the 2015 Nismo. I actually never liked the previous Nismo Z's because of the front bumper and the large rear wing.

If the 2015 Nismo was actually introduced as the new new sport model or 40th then all cheers because that's what it looks like, but for a Nismo it needs more. I like it, but wouldn't get out of my Nismo for it. And I beg to differ for those who think my or others cars look like a base or sport in any way, both are awesome cars, but when you see a Nismo you know it's one, but hey what the hell do I know.

Hopefully, they get it right in 2016 with a redesign. Seems like most of us don't care for this "update" too much. I, personally, loved the 2014 NISMO update. I like being able to distinguish the Nismo from the base model.

I sold my base in anticipation that the 2015 Nismo would be the car for me. I ended up not getting one because i don't feel like it's much more special than the base model. Now I'm waiting to see what 2016 looks like. Give us some extra power please! I love the Z, but it's getting long in the tooth on this model and getting spanked by similar priced camaros. Was a great car in 09... but 6 years later, no improvements is killing this car even more than the bad 2015 exterior update.

Experiment complete. Sparkle Red (A15) is the correct touch up. Has the metallic part to the color. Matches exactly.

I think regardless of those of us who like it or don't like it, we can all agree that the 2015 redesign was polarizing enough to finish off the 370z's run with a big finish. Of all the years it was one of the most discussed and anticipated models with a big media and PR push.

We'll see what happens with the next generation, unless they are revolutionary changes I have no intention of upgrading from my Z33 personally

I am still hooked on the 2014 Nismo. If the redesign isn't impressive, I'd consider getting the 14 model. It should be much cheaper if it's no longer the current model.
