This has been debated many times over already and you will see that 99% of nismo owners bought the car for the body and rims. Those two alone are worth it considering if you went aftermarket, it would cost well over 8k just for something decent. Then factor in installation cost/paint/down time.
I see you point but its something thats not orignal. Your buying the same package that hundreds have. Take that 8 grand, by an AMUZE kit FG for cost and similar to factory color tone so 1500-2500, labor and paint 1500. BETTER KIT for 3000-4000 Painted and installed, then buy some 3 piece wheels with the other 4k...TELL ME THAT YOU DONT LIKE THAT PLAN

Just to be honest I dont think I would have bought a 370 if there was not a Nismo. And yes I have already changed the exhaust. But I did not buy it for that. To me I liked the bodykit and the interior better. And to people that want to complain that its a waste of money. Well its my money not yours. I'm very happy with my Nismo. And still have money to mod it. But to be honest I like it when everytime I call Z1 Motorsports and order part they ask model, I say 370z they reply with base,sport, or touring? And I say Nismo and I always get something like nice man or something along those lines. Its like people forget there is a Nismo out there. To me that makes it worth it. If I go the a car show and there are 10 370z odds are I'm the only Nismo.

Honestly, I don't like that plan. I prefer the nismo kit over the AMUZE. I prefer the nismo rims over many other rims out there. Don't get me wrong though, there are nice looking rims like the TE37 and a few others but the nismo rims just fits the nismo look so well that there is no point going aftermarket.

Agreed 100%, also aftermarket kits often have fitment issues and some fail to carry the lines of the car correctly. I've never owned a car thats stopped traffic in stock form, or any form for that matter. It happened again yesterday, this guy wouldn't go the green light until he could see the car. Granted I can't say he wouldn't have done it for a standard model but the nismo seems to turn alot of heads and gets alot of compliments. It just goes to show that others like to look at it as much as I do.
