I didn't even know they had LED side markers for the 350Z. I must admit the stock ones on the new Audi's look great, dunno if these give off the same light.

Nice car, paint looks sharp, not a fan of the rims (for me) but car looks sharp

LED's are kinda ghey, I wouldn't put those on. The wheels look fine IMO. Around here if they are not VOLKs they are nothing, so no wonder people go on and on about it. I think they look fine, they are not super amazing or anything but they look fine on the car. Kinda like what 2th pwr said, more European looking on a Japanese car.

Generally all I drive is European cars (Audi Porsche) the Z is my first Japanese car in a long time. I really dislike Japanese cars in generally they are too junky and ugly in design generally. The Z's interior exemplifys everything I hate about Japanese cars really, its terrible. So the rims making the car look more European are not a bad thing.

i guess there isn't enough junky electronics and buttons in the Z's interior huh?

while i know it's not the greatest interior in the world, it serves its purpose and it's not ugly..

Odd, I thought the interior of the Z was quite good. Simple and clean. Good lines. Nothing ridiculous. Just an Architects point of view.

I second that, people dislike the Z cause of its interior is too plain.. take a look at our door panel . But in my point of view Less is More. Thats what I like about the interior of the Z.. Extremely clean and easy to maintain.

i find all the embossed panels (door, centre console) incredibly difficult to dress evenly with 303.

I bought the Z over the STi, cuz the Z had the most elegant interior I've seen on a sports car. Sure it's not like a R8 or M3, but it's definitely better than lot of other cars.

Before the 350z I had a Boxster and still have my A4. The A4 interior is 100x ahead of the 350z... or more really. But it's not a 350z, I love the car and the interior definately works, however it's definately not as pretty as a european car. My Boxster also had a really awesome interior. Porsche knows how to put together a really nice quality package. It was a lot nicer than the 350z. The Z is faster, more reliable and cheaper to fix and modify than the Boxster for sure, I would never go back. Is the interior better? No way. Is that enough to stop me from driving the car? Not a chance.

The 350z inside is chinchy and typically japanese for sure, but all together is an outstanding product, don't get me wrong.

I guess this is what really got me originally. The door panels are just.. well.. Wierd I guess...

Good points are the three buttons for the heat / ac / fan etc.. I like them, simple easy to use and all together and look neat with the three gauges above.

Bad points, everything is so plastic-y they there are so many creeks and rattles and just cheap plastic abounds inside the car.

My A4 is solid, quiet and really a well built machine. There really is no comparison in quality of the interior honestly. Still doesn't stop me from grabbing the Z's keys over the A4 every time though...

My car doesn't creak. Maybe it's your mileage and past history of Auto X?

i dunno mine is really plastic-y... it rattles a lot all over when i turn the music up a little.

if i turn up the music even more the music over powers the rattle, but i don't want to go deaf... so for easy listening with some bass, it's kind of annoying.

oh well it's something i can live with.

Nah, its just stuff like the creek from the rear view etc.. that a lot of people complain about.

When you are used to how good the build quality is in a Porsche and Audi, going to anything that has crappy plastic in the interior seems cheap and makes noise. Go test drive a new A4 then you will know what I'm talking about. The interior is just so solid and quiet.

Honestly if that is my only complaint about the car it's damn awesome cause thats no big deal. Besides all I'm gonna do is drag race and auto-x the car and generally beat the **** out of it anyway, so what do I really care?
