I really like all of the body enhancements minus the wing change... put the big one on this car and it would look great. The other thing that's throwing me off is anything that's accented in light silver; specifically the 2-color paint scheme on the wheels and the door handles. Would look less busy if the whole wheel was the darker gunmetal color and the door handles were also the darker gunmetal. Seems like they learned to change the color of certain accent pieces (headlight housings) but they didn't go all the way.

It does look like it sits over the hatch. So it may be removable. You can see the edge over the bottom of the hatch.

I think it looks fantastic!! Finally, a more mature looking NISMO with NAV, auto and some toned down styling. Love it!! But also very let down. Its just another Z. And the upgrades to the interior are still below what i got rid of my '13 Z for. Its nice just looks chincy.

I wonder if the wing is shaped the same as the sport one? So you could use the Carbon Signal add-on or the Mines add-on wing.

Looks like a mature Nismo and I think overall it looks good for a mid model refresh. I'm liking the front, the back so so, guess I got used to the high Nismo wing. Also I think this refresh means, that a new Z won't be coming out for at least 2 years.

I like it. Put on the nismo high wing, cs fenders and better wheels. It will look killer.

The cosmetic refresh is nice. Adding the auto = more buyers. Funny how after 5 years of people painting their headlight housings black, Nissan finally responds.

No performance gains though? This is just a cosmetic refresh, and I doubt the $$$ is still going to be low enough to grab more buyers. What is MSRP supposed to be? If its still 10k+ higher than base, they have another sales dud on their hands...

All of the red trim needs to be color matched to the main color IMO.

I also like the blacked out side mirrors. My PW side mirrors are PW... So i kind of like that effect with the black, makes them hang back a bit.

I know most of you do not like the rear spoiler but I do. They finally made the Nismo look like something a "grown up" wouldn't be embarrassed to drive. Personally I loved the Nismos but I hated the rear wing as it looked like something a kid would put on their car.

Edit: That is something I like about my current cars as the rear wing only pops up at 75 then retracts at 50.
