Well it's only subtle,but it makes a whole world of difference,since I see about 50 Z's a day here in southern Cali.Looks great,again!! I think the hoods ajar,thus the big gap.

 

Wow, I had no idea this was happening, No interior improvements? The car has sold real well for Nissan and this freshning should help keep it above 20-25k units a year

 

So...where's the change?

 

The wife drives a 2003 350Z Touring Titaninum, I like it's looks better than almost every other sports car I've ever seen or owned. This doesn't look like an improvement to me. Where we live you might see a Z once a week if your lucky.

 

*Exterior Changes
-Front Bumper had a new smaller black grill. The fascia below the grill had a notch in the middle of it.

-Headlights were changed! They are still clear/chrome but they have a bigger rounder projetor housing.

-Rear taillights are different! Half of it tails look as if they have LED housing.

-Wheels are different! They look a lot like the anniversary wheels.

*Interior Changes
-The center console is a now a flat black

-The AC and Temp controls are solid aluminum color

-The lower shifter housing is a solid aluminum (no aluminum ring exists).

-The door arm rests have integrated cup holders

-The door panels have leather trim 6 inches above the window controls.

-There is a knee cushion on the passenger side close to the center console

This is all my enthusiasteye could spot Feel free to add

Oh and this Z was brought to a Stillen event by a Nissan representative.

 

I was at the stillen event and saw the car. Theres not really any big difference. Headlights are slightly different, the tailights are leds and the bumper is slightly different. Still looks good

 

Looks good! I like the current looks, and the facelift makes it looks that much better!

 

much better

 

scary part, the refreshning is just like the sc430's, new headlights that look more like 'eyes' than the previous ones, slight different bumper, and LED tailights, with minor stuff here and there inside

 

Very subtle refresh, I still like my G more.

 

Wait, now that you mention it, does that mean that the G also get a refreshning?

 

The 350 would look a million times better than it does now if they took the stupid vertical cheap-o door handles off and replaced them with the traditional setup as on the G35c. I don't know of anyone that's seen the car and thinks that those door handles add anything "sporty" or unique. Nissan cut too many corners on this car for me to get into it.

M.

 

They just did for the 2005 model with increased hp & the new 19" forged wheels etc. The G35 sedan's facelift are more prominent with different headlights etc. . . . . .

 

I can tell you that the 350Z is the "bang for the buck" sports car on the market today. I've owned all of the Porsche models, Acura NSX, RX7TT and Vettes and the Z is one of the best designs with one of the top rated engines per "Wards" that you can get at any price. Of course you will give up some finish items but I don't think the finish items are worth an additional $40K+. Plus it is a blast to drive on the back country roads in my area. The G35 is the same vehicle that is toned down a little and more practical. The G35 just doesn't have the same sexy good looks as the 350Z .

 

I beg to differ, I could ' ve easily bought the 350Z instead, but to my eyes, the G35 coupe blows away the 350Z in sexy good looks , the Z is a big disappointment to me as the successor to the 300ZX in terms of good looks. I didn't even consider it a close contest when I was deciding between the G35c & the Z , to each its own . . .
