Message	I have never seen it in any of the dealer brochures I have, including the many international ones. That picture is of a RHD JDM Z32 NA with US side markers, front calipers look to be in the wrong place too. I don't think it's an actual photo, more likely a computer generated model. Either way no that dark center panel was never a production look. I spoke to Yama-san about it @ ZCon this year and he mentioned that when the design models where being reviewed by the senior Nissan staff, Matsuo-san (of original 240Z design fame) suggested against it and recommended keeping it body colored.
