Beef (Nismo Vs. Non-Nismo)

antennahead · 07-16-2009, 10:25 PM

Looks are very subjective. I like the front end, I'm neither a fan or a hater of the rear end. I don't care for the rear spoiler, like the sport package spoiler much better. I really like the wheels .......... to each his own. All in all, I think it's a nice looking package however. As many have said, you can do a lot more for the money. Sans the red stitching and NISMO nomenclature on the seats, the interior is the same. For a few thousand more than the price of the base with sport package, you can add some nice sways and struts/springs, a good HFC and exhaust, and come out cheaper than the NISMO. A lot of people though, probably want a "turnkey" performance upgrade without customizing the aftermarket performance parts. It's a nice car, I personally will enjoy my base with sport more by tweaking the suspension and adding a HFC/exhaust, then spend the additional money on a nice sound system.
