2013 performance model comes with the different bumper with LEDs and red calipers.

Base vs. Touring vs. Sport all have the same front bumper fascia. Therefore, the '13s are all different than the '09 ~ '12 models in that regard (added LED DRLs and removed the "fangs").

Also - for the OP, there are other differences between the '13 version and the earlier models.

Going off the top of my head:
1) Sport model brake calipers are now red ('12 and earlier have grey)
2) Sport model suspension tuning revised.
3) The fuel/coolant gauge face is black on the '13 ('12 has bright aluminum finish).
4) Wheel designs (both Sport and Base) are different on the '13.
5) Rear bumper fascia is different but it's hard to tell what is different other than the fake fog light is now red vs. black.

As others have said, you can search for this info and it will pop up. But seeing as this is a 3-day weekend, I was feeling a bit generous. ;)

fake fog light is actually a real fog light now. There are also smaller things such as starting in 2011 the option for the rear camera on the rear view mirror and heated side mirrors.

Much like the feminine GT-R.

Parking lights/DRLs are the same to me... They just don't stay on when your headlights are on

I have a NISMO ;)

Are you referring to the LEDs in the bumper? Parking lights and DRLs are different, parking lights are the little 168 bulb in the headlights that you can turn off... DRLs run ALL the time and can not be turned off while the car is on unlike parking lights that can...

Directly from 2013 Nissan 370Z Coupe | Vehicle Specs | Nissan USA, under Exterior Features:

"LED Daytime Running Lights"

Besides, the OP specifically said base, nothing else.

ROFL, duly noted. I remember the first time I saw the Celica GTS body kit with the fake tail pipe. It could not have been more than a few extra bucks to just make a real one.

Word, I guess they are LED DRL's. Rock on
Fortunately my Nismo doesn't have these or regular DRL's like most cars in the headlights.
