G37sHKS · 05-03-2012, 01:50 PM

Nope I dont like it, If i was shopping for a 370z i would run and buy a 2012 before they run out.

Not a good idea from Nissan but oh well..

I was either going the NISMO route or the base and drop an AMUSE kit on it, wasn't sure if the kit was going to still fit or need adjustment.

It does... I agree... I guess they are trying to mass market the Z to the boring types. What pizzes me off though is that they are getting all the hottest colors on the weakest styling.

I wonder what the NISMO refresh is going to look like? I have a feeling that will be the hot Z to buy. I hope @ least the nismo gets a small bump in power... as there are no real details on the nismo except it will have GTR brake cooling, gun metal rims which intrigues me, I'm going to guess the front will have some sort of update???

I don't think the new Z is ugly though. Just mainstream looking as stated.

side markers a mistake

seems to me nissan is doing to the Z what GM does to the vette
very small tweak's between year models until they wear the look out
which is fine because if your not a true fan most can't tell the difference...

but i will say GM does seem to add small amounts of HP from year to year
where nissan will just ride the Q37 into the ground. not counting oil cooler
which should have been installed on the 09 and all since then.

I remember reading Nismo gets no new exterior refresh/looks for 2013.

Totally dislike those LEDs on the bumper now.

They remind me of those lame string of LEDs under the Audi headlights. Everyone I've ever talked to thinks they look ugly and tacky.

Our current Zs rock so much harder!

I could have sworn I read the NISMO will at least get gunmetal rims???

If you look at the LED area carefully on the 2013? It looks like the designed it that it will look nice if you decided to pull off the LED's giving it a vented look... at least that's what it looks like to me? I think the 2013 without the lights might possibly look good with vents there?

If its not possible then... no it doesn't look good. Lol

it does look quite nice I think. Reminds me of the GTR LED's but vertical.

I think 2009 thru 2012 are awesome looking. But I also like the look of the 2013 as well, thus I have ordered a 2013 w/sports package. The fangs give the Z an aggressive look (a good thing), without it, it looks smoother, maybe more mature (yes I'm 53) so I like it.

I think the led's will look really nice and stand out in the morning, dusk and at night.

One thing I wasn't really thrilled at first, was the rims with the 2013 sport package (preferred the 2012). However, the more I look at it, the more I like it and I think I'll be very happy with it. Bottom line.....all Z's are HOT!!!
