[QUOTE=Kenny;1828674]Nissan didn't take out the fangs, it's only been redesigned. It's still there if you look closely.

While I don't think the Fangs are the highlight of our Z's design. Once blacked out, the Z looks insane. Blackout out fangs give the Z an amazingly aggressive look. The subtle fang with 350z design queue overlay looks weak and mainstream generic on the refresh. Adding the lights gave it the hue of germaposer. Especially since germaphile LED lighting is 6 years running strong... that's something chevy or ford would do... push styles after the fact. The hyundaiesque copying done by nissan is a step down from the original Z34 design...

I have high hopes for the 13 NISMO though.

Seems to be a shortage in your area, I'd look a little out of your bubble if you really want a 2012, I'm sure there are some deals to be had if u are willing to go the distance

:iagree:

That's because the nismo looks the same but the brake and wheel color.

especially the LED strip addition.
Agree, I'm tired of LED strips....it was ok on Audi's for a while...then Mercedes got it the act, and now others....its played out...

Not a fan of the new ones. Never been a fan of the NISMO. '09-'12, FTW.

kidkotic2001 07-20-2012 09:23 AM

I am glad I traded in my 09 for a 12, I hate the front of the new Z and the LED make it worse. The Rims look horrible but if you get a 13 just get a nismo.

danegrey 07-20-2012 09:37 AM

Glad I bought a 12, not a fan of the 13
the 12 just looks more aggressive.
