Default I fixed the 370Z! Rearward visibility be DAMNED!!!

I got rid of that awful back window section...so what if you'll have no over-the-shoulder visibility. I also smoothed out the headlight shape to give it more of that 280Z look...and I gave you 350Z guys back your taillights...same basic shape, just a little more modern.

When are these companies going to learn? EVOLUTION EVOLUTION EVOLUTION.

Revolution just sucks! Anyway, hope you like it...I just whipped it up really quick.

Eh, having a bigger blind spot isnt good. Now I always look at other cars fender flares and the 370 has huuuuge flares. Some cars have none. This car needs to grow on me still lol.

I added two more options, both with the full window in tact. On the front view though, I added another headlight design.

I like the headlights and tail lights much better that way. You should send the shots to Nissan just so at least somebody there might start thinking about it.

i actually really like the longer headlight in the first one, and the tail lights you've made. i'd still prefer to keep the D window though.

Yea, i'm sure nissan never thought to design the lights similar to those. We're all much more creative and have much more access to design programs than the nissan design team.

C'mon, bra.

Yeah I hear you but that's not the point. Nissan needs to hear from the buying public other than through car sales figures. Taking the trouble to send them a picture that shows you put some effort into the message carries a lot more weight then a simple yay or nay.

Default Same pictures without text

I prefer the current "tear drop" back end to this "bubble" back end. But that would not prevent me from wanting to own one.
