Could I have gotten one of those 12's cheaper? Yes; but would I have been satisfied with my purchase? The answer for me would be no.

Like you, I preferred the front bumper of the 13 and was 50/50 on the rims (I got the spt pkg), but now I prefer the 13 GM colored rims also (plus red clipers are sweet). When you're alongside 09-12's, yours will stand out (in a good way)!
Whether you buy a 12 or 13, you'll be spending a lot of money either way, so get what you want. There has not been a single day since I bought my car where I regretted buying a 13. But I know there would have been regret, if I paid well over $30K for a car I didn't really want just to save a few bucks.

Other than looks, the 13 does have the euro tuned suspension on the sport pkg.

Good luck on your decision.

Sorry but 2013 looks terrible with those wannabe stunna LEDS and giant gaping manta ray mouth.

It stands out in a worse way

JungleZ, It's cool with me if you prefer the 12 to the 13 as we're all entitled to our opinions. But can we stay on topic and try to give the OP some constructive advice and not speak negatively of other Z enthusiasts cars?

If I'm spending ~$35K or more...I might as well just get what I want. Good advice.

I think the only 2009-2012 370Z I'd get would be the 40th anniversary edition. The red leather can't be beat...unless I get a 2013 with Persimmon yum...

How are the LED's wannabe? Nissan wants to be who?

And the bull dog teeth are more attractive?
