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

If you have a nismo exhaust or real nismo kit? Right then and there, it gives you the right to put a nismo sticker. You bought a nismo part. fvck it. lol

Maybe they should make a new sticker. "I allowed Nismo name to rape me" lol

LOL, I just didn't get it. To me, the Nismo is a body kit with a shítty ride.

So since the OP has the body kit, a better ride, leather, nav, Bose and some other things, it MORE than makes up for not having the strut bar difference, or the chassis dampeners or the placards and... Whatever other BS parts come on a Nismo
So to me, his car is as good if not better than a Nismo

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 can't be part of the Nismo Registry...

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...

I don't see the problem with Nismo. In the OP's case its the equivalent of taking that Mustang GT, putting Ford Racing parts on it, and putting a Ford Racing emblem on it. I see it differently than putting a GT500 emblem on a regular Mustang.

Buy the dampers from the dealership. They aren't limited to buy... Ride along with a nismo owner and steal his plaque when he's getting gas. Then run out the car as fast as you can!!!!
