The fender flares are gone.

Get some Chinese knock offs from eBay and problem solved.

That and the tires.

I originally liked this till I saw how the number plate mount's

and now totally off it.

I mean this would just be a case where I wouldn't put the front plate on. I've been debating that for a while, and I think there's a few vendors that make a mount for the tow hook location which I suppose could work. But yeah I agree with you that the plate really breaks up the lines on the front of the car.

we would be pulled over every time drove it with no front plate here in Australia. (how else can the toll/speed cameras make all their money)

I do generally like a side mount, but theya re so hit and miss with quality.

I don't have time to properly make the meme rn but without them this has major (points down) energy

I got hit by one of those AU speed cameras while visiting Sydney area. Got the ticket several months later mailed to me in the USA - and it was no small amount!

In the USA front plate seems hit or miss. My buddy drove for years with no front plate on his Jeep Wrangler, even though his state of Wisconsin requires a front plate. I bet if I tried that further south in state of Illinois, I'd get a ticket.

Interesting. I hope these wheels clear the Nismo calipers that are available separately.

If they’re same dimensions as the Performance trim wheels, they should fit ok as I think the aftermarket NISMO brake kit uses same size rotors as the factory Akebono system.

Kind of disappointing tho, was hoping they would’ve offered a true BBK with larger rotors.

seems a few changes were made. the "nissan z" tire stencil is gone. the front lip looks slightly different...shorter outer edges with a middle section being added. also there are sensors behind the grill too.

@Z34_2.0 posted the patents for the front bumper a few months ago. It looks like the plate holder is build into the grille.

Some of just the front bumper.

I love the tacked on flares also. But if you look closely, it look like the flares are now shaped into the front fender
