Quality concerns..

Not having paid yet however, I have a few concerns I wanted to address with you guys. I was planning on getting Black with orange interior and fully loaded. What I don't understand is the tacky little black window on the rear bumper. You pay close to $40 for something you worked years for.. not only that, it's probably one of the best cars you will ever own. I don't understand why Nissan cheaped out so hard and didn't replace that bumper. I mean it's supposed to be a premium sports car no? That little hole just makes the car look tacky and is another reason arrogant bimmer owners disrespect Japanese autos so much. So is there an alternative? Will Nissan be refreshing the model a couple years down the road addressing the problem? Will they just offer a more clean bumper you can purchase or will you have you go 2nd party? Also, I wanted to know if you could get the sport package without the spoiler.. as you guys can judge this is probably going to be my biggest investment in the next few years and therefore I care for every little aspect. I just find without the spoiler it looks more "classy". Like the spoiler just looks like a fin on any "ricer". I want a premium automobile as I am paying a premium price. Thanks a lot guys, I appeciate any information you can offer...
