Any Nismo Owners Wish They Bought the Base with Sport Package Instead?

You just lost all your stability and downforce at high speed in the front, and made it look worse, and had to spend money to get it done, its the whole package deal

I got the nismo for 33, I didn't lose anything. Look worse? Your opinion. You can have the same look as thousands on here. Lost stability at high speeds? No, doing 120+ feels the same. Again, its my car, I do what I want. I won't lose sleep worrying about what people might think of it. Its only a nissan.

Well, actually you did, you had to buy the parts, paint them, then put them on the car. For all that, I would have just gotten a sport/touring with a leather interior and maybe a nav. Seems kind of pointless.

Again.. I didn't have to do any of those, so I didn't lose anything.

So you are saying you bought a Nismo, then had standard 370z parts put on that you didn't buy, or paint, or paid for install?

Yes.. working at shops and having people hook you up with parts have its advantages. If you need to pay for an install you can easily do in a few minutes you have obviously never worked on enough cars.

I also don't have have friends who gift me major car parts that happen to be the exact same color and shade of the car I have. You must be lucky!

Blasphemously: Love my Nismo, sexiest car Nissan makes, but would have loved to have an automatic 7 speed in it or GT-R of course.... Instead just settled for and EVO X MR as my Mistress Car. Not as sexy as my NISMO, but attractive in her own way. Modded she still outperforms. But Love em both.
