Nismo refers to products like an a exhaust, a wheel, and aero parts, etc...It's like when you order H&R springs and they give you a sticker and you decide to put it on your car. It's not an H&R car now, instead, you're simply stating that you have their product on your car.

EDIT: I do understand Nissan has Nismo designated models though. It's open to interpretation...
I don't see the problem with Nismo. In the OP's case its the equivalent of taking that Mustang GT, putting Ford Racing parts on it, and putting a Ford Racing emblem on it. I see it differently than putting a GT500 emblem on a regular Mustang.
