Default thoughts about a MUTANT Z idea

heya! i love the Z and the G35 BUT i like the back end of the g35 but think the front looks to "middle aged" with the stacked style head lights and all the chrome bars in the grille...

Would it be cool to have the Z with the G35 tail end??

or the g-35 with the Z front end?

any thoughts?

or am i smokin Kraq.

a guy that works at a local stereo shop was talking about this a little while ago... he said Z's headlight flow better w/ the coupe's tailight, and vice versa.... i've also been seeing a red G parked outside the shop more and more lately... if they do a swap i'll take pics

I totally agree that the G rear lights look much better, but it would take way to much work to fit them.

Hmmm...I gotta disagree. I think the rearend of the G is the weakest visual design element. The Z ,IMO, is waaayy sexier from the back. I love the G35C lower front fascia though.

The G35's back end will look wickly good on the Z. I'm waiting for someone to make the taillight cluster similar to those of the Gs. Either way, after owning a Z for almost 6 months, I still find myself taking double looks at my Z when I walk away and thinking, wow, THATS my car!

haha I was just thinking the same thing...the G35 coupe's rear end looks much better than the Z ... I would take the Z front and put it with the G rear...can someone photoshop it?

I like the z rear but i def. like the g35c rear better. I agree it would look nice, but way to much $$ and work involved.

I love the G35c rear end, especiall the taillights. But the Z rear end fits it better. I just wish it had LEDs...

+1 here. IMO I believe the back of the G is the ugliest part of the car. It's all flat and weird looking! I love the look of the Z all around. It looks very Japanese!

Seems like we're in the minority The G is too "scalloped". The roundness of the Z is much more flattering.

you cant put the rear tailights of a G on a Z...i mean you can but it would not be practical. the Z is a hatchback, therefore the G's tailights have no place to fit on the rear of the Z.
just my .02

I like the LED's 'IN" the G's tail lights.. but not the whole assebly. it would be neat to see the G's LED 's in a Z.
