Question Dumb questions from a future Z owner...

I was just wondering if the side fender Z emblem or the front bumper orange reflector blink or light up like a sidemarker??

Also, I ordered the $500'ish "Aerodynamics package" on my Touring Z, but I have been thinking, is it worth it?? I have no clue what a front chin spoiler is (if members have pictures, please post or link them) and how subtle it is?? Also, the mini rear spoiler fin-thingy is also very subtle and not eccentric at all. I like how the stock Infiniti G35 coupe spoiler is actually noticable. If I plan to remove this wing and replace it with the more eccentric Nismo wing, are all the holes and markings covered up?? Please help a future Z owner out...thank you!!

Countdown to delivery of my Z...July 2004 is about a month and a half!! WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

The sidemarkers are just reflectors. You can buy LED sidemarkers on this forum, or you can replace with clears or tinted.

As for the aero package, if you think the rear wing is subtle, you will never notice the front chin spoiler. You gotta look real close and be real low to notice it. However, the front chin spoiler takes all the scratches and damages from curbs on my car and prevents the actual bumper from getting hit. That isn't the technical use for it, but thats the use I get out of the front spoiler. The rear spoiler is attached by screws and adhesive. Don't quote me on that, but if you plan on going aftermarket, just get the car without the aero package.

I went w-a-y out of my way (like 300 miles & upgrading to a Performance) to get my Brick without the areo package. I just like the look "as is" better than with spoiler. But it is an individual thing.

Like, I like the way it looks WITH a spoiler, just not the factory one...thanks for your replies about the front chin spoiler taking all the abuse.

What color are the LED sidemarkers?? Whitish-bluish??

Thanks!!

The front chin spoiler is the most worthless thing ever. Honestly, it is a 1" black plastic strip that hangs from the chin of my car. Honestly, sometimes I contemplate taking it off cause when I notice it, it is ugly.
I like the factory rear wing, although I dont hink it is worth the money. To me, the best one out there is the EVO-R wing.
