OMG! I totally agree about the nose on this new nismo design. I always thought the nose on the 350z was to plain jane and just lacked something. When the 370z came out i was so happy to see the nose with the sportier/meaner looking front end. I like everything about the new nismo design, but they took a huge step backwards on the nose, i'm very disappointed.

The new nismo plain front end:



The stock front end (older nismo design in this pic) looking more agressive/sportier:






Anyways, just my opinion

Yeah, I don't like the nose either. They should have kept the shark fang look and worked off of that. If I do trade my touring in for the Nismo in June, I will definitely keep the Nismo nose though, I wouldn't want to change anything on a car like that. That would be like taking Shelby parts off and swapping them out for Mustang GT parts, doesn't make sense. The Nismo 370z is a limited production car, and should stay with the entire stock package, that's if you want it to retain it's value. On the other hand, if that's not a concern and you just cant stand the look, then go for it.

That's the S-tune 370Z. It's available in Japan. You can order the kit from our vendors. They call it Nismo S-tune Fairlady Z34

Do you know the difference between the S tune and the nismo?
I think the S tune nose looks much better. The nismo is to big.

The s-tune is just a front lip added on to the stock bumper. The Nismo uses a completely different bumper.

i agree....and nothing's better than a body kit that's made with one piece rather than add-on skirts. Add-on skirts make it look cheap - like a riced out Honda Civic.

I dig the Nismo front, very clean look! I'd take the Nismo over the regular Z for looks any day. The rear of the new 370z is freaking hideous. I'm glad they finally came out a huge spoiler that covers that stupid ugly hump.
