Lets be real here

A Nismo is a Sport package 370Z with a body kit (different wheels) and a bit of tinsel (chassis dampeners)

Now... It has an extra 18hp... If you plan on changing your intake/exhaust, which you will... You'll gain MUCH more than 18hp to the WHEELS


In my opinion, unless that look is what you yearn and die for... Save your money...

Well, you nailed it, I am going for that sport look. The 370Z seems too feminine for me (no offense, just not my type). Is there a way to get an amuse (nismo) body kit on a normal 370Z?

Amuse and Nismo aren't the same...


If you want an Amuse kit, buy an Amuse kit, don't be stupid and buy a Nismo and put an Amuse kit on it, lol

Just be warned that an authentic Amuse kit runs north of $5k after paint and installation.

Also plenty of other kits around to choose from. The Amuse kit looks great, but with a lot of knock-offs, there's too many around. (website may not display correctly in Internet Explorer, try Safari or Google Chrome)

Neat look but performance first for me, looks second.

Also the extra 18 hp is compensating for the extra weight and over-sized wheel/tire(grip) pkg of the Nismo.
