did you guys know that before the coupe went on sale, the headlights of some production prototypes were color matched and the grille was painted black ?

The color matched lights probably look fine with white, silver or black cars but I don't think it would go well with the blue or red coupes. The black grill looks good regardless.

the burger wasnt even blacked out.. it has black tape hiding the nissan logo.. they didnt want anyone to know it was a nissan.. its taped over on the back end as well as the 3.5 V6 logo and its blacked out on the wheels too. im actually supprised its not in camo... this must have been taken pretty close to its release date.

Whoops.. my bad.. it looked like the back end had a 3.5 badge that was taped up but if you look on the side mirrors theres not turn signal so it is a 2.5. Good catch
