Default Has anyone put the factory Nismo body kit on their Z?

I was certain I had my mind made up to just get a Nismo 370Z, I absolutely love the way it looks, but thought I might miss leather seats and sat-nav, two things I have grown used to having in my daily driver. Was just wondering if anyone else has gone that route and if you have pics of you car. Thanks!

I've named all seven of my children after this American hero!

Seriously, tj's thread is a great read and inspired me to do the same.

I'm going to do this myself soon. As soon as I can gather all the parts.

I didn't do the Nismo spoiler ' cause it was too "Fast and Furious" for me. (IMO)
I think the kit really makes the body just flow together.

^ yours, like mine, is the S-tune add one kit, not the official Nismo body pieces, which I believe OP was asking about.

Get $4000 recaros and an alpine head unit and call it a day. Recaros have a seating position and bolstering you will never duplicate from the Z stockers. Recaros just look sick. Since you will be wasting money regardless for your personal preferences. Might as well do it up in style.

What are your thoughts on it? I was thinking about getting it since its factory painted. If you don't mind my asking, did you have the dealer handle it?
