2006 Nissan 350Z facelift
Well it's only subtle,but it makes a whole world of difference,since I see about 50 Z's a day here in southern Cali.Looks great,again!! 
I think the hoods ajar,thus the big gap.

The wife drives a 2003 350Z Touring Titaninum, I like it's looks better than almost every other sports car I've ever seen or owned. This doesn't look like an improvement to me. Where we live you might see a Z once a week if your lucky.

-Rear taillights are different! Half of it tails look as if they have LED housing.
-Wheels are different! They look a lot like the anniversary wheels.
*Interior Changes
-The center console is a now a flat black
-The AC and Temp controls are solid aluminum color
-The lower shifter housing is a solid aluminum (no aluminum ring exists).
-The door arm rests have integrated cup holders
-The door panels have leather trim 6 inches above the window controls.
-There is a knee cushion on the passenger side close to the center console
This is all my enthusiasteye could spot
Feel free to add Oh and this Z was brought to a Stillen event by a Nissan representative.

scary part, the refreshning is just like the sc430's, new headlights that look more like 'eyes' than the previous ones, slight different bumper, and LED tailights, with minor stuff here and there inside

I can tell you that the 350Z is the "bang for the buck" sports car on the market today. I've owned all of the Porsche models, Acura NSX, RX7TT and Vettes and the Z is one of the best designs with one of the top rated engines per "Wards" that you can get at any price. Of course you will give up some finish items but I don't think the finish items are worth an additional $40K+. Plus it is a blast to drive on the back country roads in my area. The G35 is the same vehicle that is toned down a little and more practical. The G35 just doesn't have the same sexy good looks as the 350Z .

. , the Z is a big disappointment to me as the successor to the 300ZX in terms of good looks. I didn't even consider it a close contest when I was deciding between the G35c & the Z , to each its own . . .
