370Z 2009.5 Changes?

Honestly, I think the LED system just needs improving. Instead of using the small amount large LEDs they're using, they should use 100 micro-LEDs to make it look somewhat fluid.

All good points. Any rumors on the aftermarket circuit regarding the fuel/temp gauge? Maybe even a black face plate instead of the current silver one?

We will def see aftermarket company coming out with many different overlays. You have to realize this car only been out for 1 month and 13 days. Many things will develop as time goes by.

Exterior-wise, here's a plea to Nissan - please put a strip of LED's in the headlamp cluster - the sooner the better.

Just remember the transformation of the rear end when the 350z taillights changed from bulb to LED's.

Interior-wise, please catch up with other manufacturers and give the audio system a USB port somewhere in a cubby hole.

I agree, would be a nice improvement.

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. I was trying to say that the change from bulbs to LED's on the 350z's taillights was a major improvement, and I think a similar step forward would be made if the 370z headlights had an LED strip, not just a single sidelight. I know it's been said before, but I'm working on the theory that the more often it's repeated, the more likely Nissan will hear about it and do something. When Nissan make changes to their Z cars they are usually well thought-out and well designed.

...I know the 370z's taillights are LED's - and they look lovely!

That would have a real sweet look to it, hopefully in a blue-white color. Anything other then orange IMO.
