I think it looks better without it. Either way it's not a deal breaker for me.

I wish Nissan would just do away with it. The side profile would look so much cleaner imo.

Personally I would prefer it without the "katana". Overall I still it think the side profile looks better than the Zupra. What was Toyota thinking when they decided to stick a boomerang onto the door...
Seriously, wrapping or removing the katana is so much easier and cheaper than trying to mod that non-functional door trim.

Does anyone really think this actually look good? :p

I know we're going off topic, but the door should have been been one piece like on this early clay model mockup.

Something like that would look so much better than the final design that was chosen. I wonder who at Toyota approved that ugly fake door vent. ?

Beautiful, but you can't fit all that over a Z4 chassis lol.

Everybody complains about the front end, but I’m more bummed over Nissan copying style points from a Kia Optima :confused:. Yes I’m still buying one. Yes I will paint match it to the car. BUT WHY NISSAN??
Never understood why they call it a Katana? Its like they’re trying to hard to make it have Japanese heritage.
