I'll have to admit that at first I hated them and wondered what the heck Nissan was thinking. Now I absolutley love them and think my car is about the sexiest ever. I noticed the other day that the new Prius has them. I think Nissan might have started something.

:dblthumb:

Now I just have to get past the fangs on the bottom bumper. I think maybe I can get my car a role in the new Twilight movie. :chuckle:

It's a love or hate thing with the boomerang design lights.
I like 370's and the new Maxima's. But I don't like the fangs on the 370 though.

It is funny...when you look at the car from the top like in my pic, you can see the lines and the fangs don't look so bad. I think the car has great lines. I have thought about having them painted black to make them blend in with the black grill, but I think that would look funny too.

I think I will just name him Edward Cullen and get over it. (Y'all might have to get your wifes/girlfriends to tell you who that is) ;)

It's well documented on NICO but I'll reiterate here...

I love the numbers on the 370Z, but I don't like the packaging - I've said it since Day One. I could get past the boomerangs eventually, more often than not you're driving your car so how often are you actually looking at your car? But that God awful combo gauge in the dash cluster is so out of place on car that's trying so hard to be retro. It's awful. AWFUL. The gauges in the 350Z are much better at showing off a modern design with retro inspiration.

That being said I wouldn't turn down the keys if someone handed them to me. ;) I just hope everything is straight when I get another Z in 2020.

I've always said that The Godfather movies need to have Frank Castle in them to make them more watchable I think that the Twilight crap needs another character from Marvel Comics...

BB, I don't understand what you don't like about the gauges. I just googled a 350 dash and I don't see a lot of difference. What am I missing?

I guess I'm weird....I loved the interior of my car. :squint:

You have to be a pretty boy to be in Twilight...I don't think your fella is going to make it. :inoutgay:

This...thing kills the interior for me. :squint:

I would agree with all the critics though that the 370Z is far nicer than the 350Z when comparing interiors. Like I said though, I wouldn't turn down the keys to a 370Z, just have to figure out a way to pretty up the cluster again. Speaking of which...

I could have been a Twilight fey type. I should post up some pics of me from my angst ridden days when I dressed like Robert Smith (actually did it to win a bet - probably broke even when you consider how much I spent on hairspray!), but I know better - once it's on the internet it's out there forever. ;)

Sad thing is I actually fit in with the goth crowd since I was (am) a fan of The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees. All it took was some hairspray and eyeliner to draw in all the goth girls. Book - cover, you know the saying.

Ok...that gauge there really isn't the hottest looking gauge ever. I keep mine on the vacuum gauge (I guess they still call them that). That gas gauge is going to burn me some day. Once I get below 1/2 tank, I will bump that gauge to count down the miles to empty, those little dots are just not something that is going to catch your eye!

Oh and by all means....do post a pic. I want to the the goth BB!
