Message lights (horizontal slats). That is a very strong design element of the Z that has been lost on the 350Z. I would love to see what you envision as the profile view.

I'm not a big fan of the vertically stacked headlights. It's been over done in my opinion. Another overdone and copied way too much design element: fender vents/gills. I would much rather see the car avoid that and go with a simple and clean treatment between the wheels. Look at the Z32 design - there is a very subtle Coke-bottle effect that I think works very nicely with the overall design.

However, I like how your front view creates a near mid-engine appearance for the car. Nicely done. But the front grill opening looks a little too RX-8ish to me.

And while I may be alone in this opinion, I prefer cars not to have such a polarizing design statement. To me, this kind of design tension (whether liked or disliked) goes out of fashion too quickly. I believe a more subtle design will last longer and remain more fresh over the lifespan of that particular vehicle model.

Keep up the great work and please post more iterations of your efforts.

Good luck,

Dave
