Waizzz posted it in a thread, click on the little blue arrow next to his name in quote I posted in above and it will take you right to the thread.

From what I can see of the wheels I like them, I didn't think they could make a better looking wheel than the last set of NISMO wheels.

A new C7 will take care of that for ya.

I like the new seats but I still like the old wheels better. IMO the car just need a power bump, a big one at that.

agreed I spoke too soon. It looked promising then they pull this crap. I want to see if any American designers had influence in this.

I'm sure its a move to phase out the manual for next Nismo Z or something. Its ridiculous that they just updated the current nismo Z with accents then all of a sudden are making another final update of it....i guess.

should have made the fenders wider with bigger tires if they took out the wing.....with added power of course.

I wish they would have introduced that Nismo Z at the autoshow. I guess Zdayz is a better venue.

Congrats on the Z coming along, Shane.
