I'm feelin' it.

Look at that first pic. The car seems more excited than the lucky bastard who drove it to the show. Eyes peeled open, teeth showing. Yea, she's quiet now, but inside she's screaming for another ride - and you can see it.

Love.

Only thing I'm wondering about is that wide dimple in the middle. Looks like someone stepped on the bumper.

the exterior changes are good and bad...the rear lights look nice, but i want to see it in the dark before i jump to conclusions. The front is not that bad, though the extra fancy things they put in there makes it look like it's wearing glasses.

Totally digging the presumably stereo controls on the steering wheel...only took them 3 years to figure that out :P

random? they form a pyramid shape - just like the lights do when you look at the car from directly behind.

Cool In a nutshell

PROS:
* New Wheels = Okay
* Interior Door accent = Good
* Adding the steering wheel volume controls = Better
* Tail Lights are simply Killer = BEST! [I want those]

CONS:
* Head Lights = Silly
* Front Bumper = Zero Improvement
* Interior square knee pads = Ooooh, Big deal
* Passenger side ‘net pocket’ for CDS = I don't think any of the Nissan design engineers will be adding this particular upgrade to their ‘Resume of Achievements’ any time soon.


Over all, after carefully perusing the entire 06 package, I'm STILL glad I bought my Z a few years earlier.

I do not like the headlights... but since this are true projectors does it mean thy could be blacked out completly?

If so thay may look good.

The front headlights dont do it for me. Still holding onto my 03. Either I go extreme NA or turbo or stand in line for a GTR. And I am sure Nissan will stick with their trend of gaying the ecu.

I like the changes. I think the projector lens looks great. I liked that on the S2000 that I had. I like the interior changes. I do think the Leather on the door panel should be a littl higher up. Is the door handle leather also (driver) ?

I think those rims are great! I figured they would keep them-hopefully they will keep the Brembos also!
