Well, I drove by HQ, and it was there again, the Daytona Blue Track model, parked just a few feet away from the previous spot.

Mmmmmm........, still looks good!
Well, I noticed a couple of more things about it.

The dreaded front plate, well it looks like it mounts directly to the face of the bumper.
Some people mentioned an underside mounting, that's not the case. A picture won't catch it, but with the naked eye you can see the two small indents to help the PDI boy/Test Driver Extraordinaire on where to drill. Ughhhhh.

Also, the headlights have a small blacked out area, the leading edge, just in the front. Kinda wish the entire non reflector area were blacked out. There was an internet photo of something like that a while back, perhaps 7/8 months ago.

Had more time to look over the fit and finish of the outer panels, and have to say as before, it was really good. Nothing under/overflush, very good for prototype stage.

Noticed that it's very easy to bleed the Brembos, the nipple is on the outside of the caliper body, and you reach right through the spokes. You could do it in the dark, that easy!

The door handles, they are not "chrome", as some stated, they are a matte or brushed material, not sure if it is aluminum or what?

Wish it came with slightly wider tires, still think the wheels are too "in-set", in relation to the quarter panel lip. But that's easily corrected. Could not get in, vehicle was locked.

Well, that's all for now, oh BTW I did not even notice the antenna, it didn't stand out, so I guess that's a good thing.....

dc,

Thanks for the update, especially about the antenna. From the picture, it is less stand out in the darker BD color, compare to the lighter Chrome Silver. I can live with it, unlike some of those in "the other forum" who whined everyday and said they "cancelled" their order due to the fix mask, yeah, right. Thanks again for the descriptive report!!!

ZGiRL,

You don't have to "MOVE" to CA to snoop for the Z. You can have a full dose of the Z in 2+ week at the ZCCA convention in Texas. The caravan will stop at the Nissan dealership for 2 hours enroute to San Antonio. It is 15 minutes from my house. Guess if I plan to go to take a look. See this thread for more details.

jjb,

Yes, Maxwell Nissan, 1-3pm. Need direction? I saw it in other post several months ago. Just asked Jason (internetABYSS) to confirm. He did. Not sure if we have to do anything beside show up at the dealer. Since you asked, I think I'd better call Maxwell to double check. Don't want to go there and can't get in. I will post it for you at the other thread on this subject. Here is Jason response:

June 16th 1pm-3pm at maxwel round rock nissan for a car show....the 350 and the caravan will eat lunch there.

they will leave maxwell nissan at 3pm sharp.
and get back on i-35 to houston.
