I love the way it looks, but it hope these parts work better than the old s tune and r tune parts. I read an article in sport compact magazine where they compared the stock track edition to the R tune Z and the s tune Z and the stock track edition beat them out in almost all of the categories. I used to be a pretty hardcore Nissan guy and I know that generally the Nissan lovers covet the Nismo stuff because its exspensive, harder to get, and more eclusive. I have to say they did a great job with the aero kit. With the exhaust, larger motor, and better breathing of the motor, this thing probably sounds bad ***

Whats up with the mustache? (extra trim right above the ugly grille)




And the poop shot on the back end??


This car is FULL of UGLY, but I'm sure the performance is stellar.

mmm what ever happened to the 4 piston calipers i used to see on 350's? i wonder why they dont use them here?..

..and that brake light between the exhaust is a bit out of place..well okok alot out of place haha

i say, keep the wing, lose all the other extra body pieces, drop it half an inch (for stock) and you have a winner

It may not even make it stateside.

The truck side-step like front and rear splitters are hideous. Stock regular trim is better...

I have a friend with the Nismo 350 Z. He took me for a ride and I have to say I was impressed BIG TIME> If the 370 is lighter, smaller, and more powerful I am in love already. I would buy it with out even driving it based on the performance and purity of the Nismo 350Z

Best part is that NISMO allows for you to combine both "Aero" and "Performance" packages.

Totally awesome
