Test drive both and see if you like them. EPA estimates for MPG values are listed on the sticker. Simple math can approximate what you can expect based on your driving habits. Sport package is your choice but since you're considering the G also I'm guessing looks are more important to you. Again, your choice so get what you want.

You can search for mods that folks have done if you're that curious. Probably best for you to actually get the car before asking people how to change aspects of the headlights. It's a pointless question right now.

The headlight modifications are manual mods performed either by yourself or a third party. It appears that the work is relatively straightforward and have yielded successful results, but the work requires the headlights to be baked or heated with a heat gun to release the epoxy, permitting the headlight to be taken apart. The key here is to ensure that plenty of epoxy is used thereafter to ensure that moisture does not get inside. Take a look in the DIY section for pictures of the procedure if interested.

Ok..as far as mods for longevity go, the one that I can think of off the top of my head right now is to go with a clear bra. The paint on the Z is notoriously soft and is subject to damage from tumbling highway-speed pebbles. 3M Ventureshield is a popular option, but everyone has their favorites. Do a search for clear bra for more input.

I'm not gonna lie, the Z has been a great car with reasonable maintenance costs thus far. I would anticipate that the G would be a bit more expensive, but don't really know.

Hope this helps.
