Unless I'm missing something and you got a Touring with Nav for 27k which is 3k below MSRP for the BASE model. Even if you did only pay that new, you're still comparing what you paid to the sticker price of the Nismo. I could compare what I paid for my Nismo to the sticker price for your car new and come out on top too.

I also fail to see how buying a Nismo prevents you from personalizing the car.

If you don't like the body kit, or the rims, or whatever that's fine. But just because you don't like them doesn't mean they're worth nothing. Don't like the exhaust, sell the stock Nismo exhaust. Don't like the rims, sell the rims and buy new ones. Don't like the suspension, you can sell that too and so on. You could also sell the wing, but I don't know why you'd want to. I just think the market for regular stock parts isn't as good.
It was perfectly explained this way:

Only if you plan on keeping your Nismo stock forever vs other base/sport pkge stock forever Z's would this even have a little merit. Its the SAME ENGINE with a little more free flowing exhaust and a light tune. Its a drivers race man, SORRY... There also plenty of WAAY better exhausts and suspension mods out there than can be had then what the NISMO is equipped with...they are on the same playing field...like it or not... you paid a ton of extra cash for for sup par exhaust, tune, suspension tweaks. Most people who REALLy want to turn the Z into an all out track car dont go for the Nismo, they get a base and build...

You can justify it anyway you want but it's the same no apples to oranges. It's like saying the iPad mini is totally different from the iPad. Same device, one just has a larger screen, same device and everything. You I believe have force induction, so you had to or should have changed out everything except for suspension that you paid extra for...just stating facts...
