Few more from the OP's pics.....I love the profile of the 370z in these pics...I know you guys hate big rims but I love how it looks. Makes the car look smaller. BTW I see Chrysler Crossfire in the profile yikes....
1. The back...
You know what, I'm going to stop and just say, buy a Z4 coupe when they come out. Seriously, Scarpser the new ones should be right up your alley. Shoot, I kind of wish they were out so I could compare it to the Z, which I like by the way. Nissan has made a wonderful car and no amount of complaints sent into Nissan is going to change the direction they went/are going with the Z. This is progressive design. It's good and a lot of the components you complain about actually work. This is a modern interpretation of the original Z. It is a triumphant return to what the car was intended as from the start. It is an amazing design that will make far more sense in person. If it bothers you so much, keep you 350Z. It sounds like you really want someone to just photoshop the 370 back into a 350. A very large proportion of people will embrace this design if they are not already. Please just avoid this entire subsection if you hate the 370Z so much.
Now, to contribute. I thought it would be interesting just to drop the stock car a couple inches to see what a reasonable street/light track coilover setup would do to the stance of the cars. I didn't want to slam it to the ground and I think the 19 inch stockers fill out the wells fairly nicely with the drop. Later, I'll put in some better looking wheels.

From what I saw, the blue had an impact on me as that's what I have, so now I see what the car looks like in blue. I like the dark panel in the upper portion of the grill. Not sure why but it seems to change how the front looks...makes it a just a little better.
Back to the inside...the panning shot of the guy sitting in the passenger side makes the car look really small (maybe he's just a big guy).
Nice to see they went with 9" and 10" wheels on the sport package. The car has always needed that size...wish it came that way even on the base model.
Anyway...I guess I'll have to render my vision on paper and scan it. It will never happen of course, but it would be nice to see an "evolved" 350 just the same.
Thats the lighting making the lip look brassey...Its either high polished or chrome lip....Not every color can pull off color matched rims[or closely matched]. I dont know how it would look on the blue car. Ive seen a DB with DB matched rim centers and it looked like overkill....

Volk GT-S
I currently have an '03 CS with 19" gunmetal Volk LE-37t, and it looks like I'm going to be getting a silver 370Z as well. As for the wheels, I'm currently interested in the GT-S. I'm not sure what looks better with the GT-S and the silver 370Z: BLACK vs. GUNMETAL?
As for the body, I might look into getting a CF lip with NISMO sides, rear aero, and spoiler.
