if i get the 370z it will be the 7 speed auto.

Can you get the NISMO package with the auto? the pics i have seen online have only been the standard shift.

Unfortunately, according to Nissan's US website, the auto is not available.

Nismo is manual only.

you'll be more than happy with a touring+sports...the Nismo is mainly a few cosmetic upgrades at the cost of extra $$ and no options. Some people want that individuality of owning a Nismo addition, but it's not necessarily a better car than the base 370 IMO.

well the only reason i want a nismo instead of the base 370 is cuz i really like the spoiler and body effects on the car, it really sets it apart and is very good lookin

since the nismo edition dosent come with the 7 speed auto then do i buy the body kit from nissan? or are there other kits that may look even better? anyone know about this?

check the exterior section of the forum, there are some options as far as styling goes.

getting the right transmission is more important than bolt-on styling in the long run, my .02.

You will have a really tough time getting the nismo pannels from a dealer - you might find some shops selling replicas soon... but i doubt it. You are honestly better off getting the AT7 w/ base + touring + sport and getting your own body kit for the price diff - if you get a base w/ sport - which is essentially the nismo minus the extra power / styling - you could almost afford a zele kit on top of it for close to the nismo price
