It's up to the OP what he wants to do with his car. My point was putting a Nismo sticker on your car doesn't mean you're trying to pretend you have a Nismo Z. I have a feeling you're not going t let me off the hook with that comment :rofl2:

I guess it's like putting SVT badge on your non-cobra mustang or GT on your base model? And I thought Z = rice :bowrofl:

Yes. If I had a mustang it would be like putting a gt500 emblem on it.

Nismo refers to products like an a exhaust, a wheel, and aero parts, etc...It's like when you order H&R springs and they give you a sticker and you decide to put it on your car. It's not an H&R car now, instead, you're simply stating that you have their product on your car.

EDIT: I do understand Nissan has Nismo designated models though. It's open to interpretation...

in other words, wat you really want to say is nismo folks got ripped off.

so you probably better off not putting on the badge since you dont want to be the sucker like the rest of em. :icon17:

pwahaha idk about being butt hurt from someone else putting a nismo badge on their car. I personally dont care if i see it on someone elses car but I wouldn't support it if they asked for my opinion. but like you said, "do what YOU want!!!." everyone is gonna have different taste so someone will always either like or hate it.

Yea, haha, and i know if I end up with a Nismo badge, someone who knows a Nismo 370z will be looking for a front damper or the authenticity plaque to call me out and goes: "That's not a Nismo!"

Moreover, I'm can't be part of the Nismo Registry...:eek:

OP, I would do whatever you want that makes you happy. However, in the event that you ever decide to sell it, I would devulge that it is a Nismo clone. Some people won't care, but on the odd chance that someone feels that they are getting a factory Nismo, it may come back to bite you in the Nismo!
