I always loved the Z32 tails, they just have some simplicity to them that makes them look so good

I changed the tails on my car but to the '99 J-Spec (red and white), still a factory part, and added clear corner markers up front, also factory. So I'm not against a bit of visual updating of the look of a car. Though I 'm not a fan of major body work just for the sake of major body work. The "Z" tails are part of it's heritage, one of the things I find disturbing about the 350z are it's tail lights. Before you were born (early 80's, and age may have something to do with my opinions) I was driving my Dad's '74 260z, it had 2 horizontal bars for the tails, similar to those on the z32, "styling heritage" that relates past models to current, keeping it visually related even though it is a newer car.

Peace
Just did a lil searching and found the J-spec taillights. Those look much better, I could definately live with them.

P.S. I don't care for the new Zs taillights either...

If you want some headlights that look close to stock but maybe a little cooler, try these:

You have G35 wheels on your Z, what's the difference?
a guy over here modded his Z in a way he removed his taillights and rear bumper and installed two big round ones on each side and modded an F-50 (ferrari) shape rear bumper into his Z. It looked awesome.

Just goes to show that indeed in some people's eyes, at least when it came out, that the 300ZX does look like some sort of bastard child of a Porsche and Ferrari, in a good way.

I guess that person took that consensus and brought it up a notch.
