HOUND CONGRATS! I saw the base rims on a white and a gun metal when I got mine but didn't think they'd look as nice as they do on your car. Enjoy the new car smell

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?

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!

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 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.

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!
