Somethings to note:
Only steep drive ways will give you more issues then a non Nismo due to the front splitter sticking out over a non Nismo with out the front splitter.
For me the stock stereo or even Bose isn't worth the money, you can have a better aftermarket system installed for the same or less.
If you don't like the wheels there are plenty of people here they will pay good money for a set of nismo wheels, they are volk rays and are not cheap. You can get a new set of 18" with tires you like probably for the same price.
The better brake are worth it but they are not necessary for street driving.
The LSD is nice but it's not track worthy and after 30-50K miles it will be more like an open diff and you cannot replace the VLSD fluid which is what wears out.
The exhaust on the Nismo is where it makes most of its extra power from but there are louder and more free flowing exhausts our there and typically used Nismo exhausts go for 500.
You will want to spend another ~1,500 right away on a clear bra.

I thought that there are three different aero packages:

(1) Base/Touring - no front splitter/air deflector

(2) Sport/Sport Tech - has black plastic air deflector under front bumper that is prone to scraping.

(3) Nismo/Nismo Tech - has body-color front splitter that is prone to scraping.

IMO, this is the best combo. I personally like it better than the NISMO without the big rear spoiler.

Can you clarify about the VLSD? Does it go bad after 30-50k miles and need replacement?

I read that NISMO makes most of the extra hp from the tune rather than the exhaust...
