Those rims on these chops have to be bigger than 19s right? Also Can you make a chop of that same pic with a black car and the stock 19s in black. It would be much appreciated.

if you look at the unmodified lights you can see how they use those same areas to optically widen the and lower the car but putting the bulk of the headlight housing low, and following the shaping of the fender.

the rear lights are the most glaring example of bad light shaping. terrible.

(this is just my opinion)
Having seen the car I can assure you, it's not tall and narrow. I thought the car looked great in pics, but even better in person. This car rocks! Hold off on passing final judgment until you see it, sit in it, and drive it.

All the car mags say the old Z was the best sports car available for under $30K. I think the same still holds true for the new Z.

^we were talking about his changed headlight design on the chop. but it's hard to say the car won't look more narrow and tall since the car was shortened but height is the same (from what I recall), and is not any wider. the proportions are different.

but yeah, I am very excited to see this car in person.

Dam, I I really like the white 370Z now. I'm not sure now about the 335I. I may look into it now when they come out.

The headlights blacked out will make that look amazing!!

Why cant Nissan throw a more aggressive offset on there!! Lowering, wheels, blacked out headlights and a few other mods and that will be HOT

Well, as long as he's arguing about it... he may as well get it right.
Motormouth: but height is the same (from what I recall), and is not any wider

ZZtopp: New Z is 1.3" wider and .3" shorter in height than previous car

Motormouth: and it is 1.1 wider.

ZZtopp: 1.3" wider according to Nissan

Is it really that hard for you to follow?

All these PS efforts... has anybody taken the time to eliminate the butt plug?

I'd do that mod before new wheels...

Nissan engineered this car to provide you with mod opportunities. They probably didn't want to sacrifice handling performance with aggressive offsets.
