My car is getting higher in mileage than I'd like so I want to get something different. Not sure if a used GTR is in the near future or not, or if I'd be better off getting a new Nismo in black, manual, with the tech package, and then slapping on a Fast Intentions TT kit.

Financially I'm in a good position to get either car, but with a wedding around the corner and looking to buy a house, I might not opt for the GTR for another two years. This Z + turbo would probably hold me over.

Sounds like you wouldn't drive either much lol

looks good but i have to see it in person.... i dont like those wheels and the rear spoiler

The wheels look much better in person. I'm just not sure if I like them better than 09-14's. I definitely like them as much though.

Looks like possible functional brake cooling on the sides of the bumper, which is definitely welcomed.

Does anyone know if the fender flares are separate pieces, or if they are molded on? A bumper conversion wouldn't look very good if the flares are part of the mold.

The fender flares just scream spacers!!!

They're for off roading capabilities. Bushwacker aftermarket now come stock.

Those ain't flairs, they're lips.

You're assuming Nissan gives a **** about brake cooling on the Z. They don't, FWIW. So I'll eat my hat if those are anything more than cosmetic, just like everything else with the NISMO Z's.

Also, it's the fronts that get completely wasted, not the back, so it's a waste of time really.

I took a closer look at the "holes" on each sides of the front bumper and they aren't open. There's a black plastic in it.

Just looked at another picture and on this one, it seems open. Once I get back home after work, I'll post the zoomed pictures of both so you can see for yourselves.

You're probably right to be honest.
