Thanks guys! I had originally ordered a 2012, but the model year change occurred in May/June, and my order was submitted April 1st.

I was definitely underwhelmed by the first pics of the base 18" rims, but they really are nice in person. I think it was a good call to replace the previous base rims.

So I'm confused. Whats the purpose of the LED's if they can't be on at night when the headlights are on? Kind of pointless to me unless I'm missing something. Did Nissan just add these because it's the newest fad or something?

DRL's... daytime running lights

Just a question.

On my wife's Ford Edge Sport, you can take the lights out of automatic mode (by turning the light knob), and then the headlights and the LED's are on. Is this not the same in the 370Z?

I was in the same boat. Wanted a 12 Monterrey Blue really bad, then missed the last order date in late March. They discontinued the blue so I ordered my '13 in April. Things happen for a reason cuz I'm happy!

I actually ordered both a White and Midnight Blue. I didn't like the blue, but I can head back to the dealership and snap some shots for you guys.

Sorry for the crappy quality, didn't feel like getting out the real camera. These were taken in my garage tonight. I took the two, one of the DRLs and one of the headlights, to compare the color temperature. The DRLs are bright and very white in person.

Rockhound, Looking really nice. Thanks for the pics and enjoy your ride!!!

Amuse370z 08-05-2012 05:28 AM
I officially like this bumper more than the 09-12 one now.

370zbb 08-05-2012 05:45 AM
Awesome shots Rockhound!

I'm curious, what didn't you like about the Midnight Blue? I may be in the same boat. I am waiting on Midnight Blue. Got my VIN on Saturday; expected delivery is around 9/14. The dealer ordered this car for stock back on 6/6, I just put a deposit on it a week and a half ago. If I don't like the color in person, I'm switching to Gun Metallic.

I like colors that are bold and rare. Which is why I wanted the Monterrey Blue. The Midnight Blue in person looks very boring. It reminded me of a Porsche color too much. Plus the new sport rims I had the car equipped with looked too dark with the color. BUT the red calipers were hot :)

Hope this helps!

When Z's came out, they had Monterey Blue, Mustangs came in Grabber Blue (still do, in fact), Mazdaspeed3's came in a similar blue... I didn't find it particularly rare. Bold, sure.

Dwight Frye 08-06-2012 05:12 PM
How about a mod to install a switch to turn the DRL's off ?
I despise them. And I'm thinking about a 2013 in Magnetic Black.

I should have clarified. I meant rare for my region. In NY, Mustangs are rarely blue mostly black. Mazda's are rarely blue, they are gunmetal. But even the name "Monterrey Blue" only pops up on one other car at that time.

Went to look at the first 2013 in Calgary. Took some close ups of the LED's and the front.

Just got word, my 2013Z is arriving at the docks tomorrow or Friday. Dealership should get it early next week and hopefully I'll be driving it before next weekend! :excited:

Magic Bus 08-11-2012 08:48 PM
Just got back from taking care of all the paperwork at the Nissan dealer. Will be driving my new 2013Z Gun Metal 6mt, w/sport pkg by the middle of next week. :tup:

I posted the price I paid for the car in the Introduction section, thread is titled 2013 on Order. Will post pics here when I p/u the new car.

LakeShow 08-11-2012 08:59 PM
Congrats Magic Bus, can't wait to see the pics!

It had 9 miles when I drove it off the lot, and I've spent most of the evening just driving around, playing with settings, and enjoying it.

The saga of getting this car is probably too tedious for my first post on the boards, but suffice it to say, it's been a long time coming. I first placed an order in January with a dishonest dealer that simply never ordered my car. Seven months later my dream car is in my garage. I look forward to learning more about my Z through this forum.

Wow -- I really like the new 18's.

Anyone know the weight on those?

sure blue isnt a rare color across different makes and models, but as far as the 370Z is concerned according to vinces production stats utility between 09 when the 370 was introduced and november 2011 there were only a total of 1,618 monterey blue 370Z's produced. going off that if you were to divide it up that would only be a little over 500 monterey blue 370Z's produced for the entire U.S. for each of those years which makes it a little bit of a rare color for the 370Z and all the more reason to hold on to my monterey blue lol

At two different local dealerships in Houston.

I tried to angle the shot so 2013 base wheels don't stand out in the pictures, since I believe that the base wheels won't do justice and could possible spoil the look of Gun metallic 370z if you're looking for sport package.

Magic Bus 08-13-2012 02:45 AM
Soul, thanks for the great pics. Will be picking up my 13 GM spt/pkg in a few days. Will post pics then.

Haboob 08-13-2012 09:47 AM
Any direct front shots of the black 2013? Wondering if black will hide the gaping mouth front end on the 2013?

Looking at the other colors (esp. the gun metal 12 vs. 13 pics above) I still can't get passed the deleted body colored "fangs".

I may have no choice by the time I'm ready to get my Z, but who knows.

Anyone knows if I can buy a 2013 370z bumper and change it to a 2012 370z? Love that daylight.

UNKNOWN_370 08-15-2012 12:47 AM
Can anyone make a comparo between the 11/12 shocks and the "euro-tuned 13" shocks???
