Nismo Vs. Non-Nismo

Not all that feasible when it seems as though a $5K down-payment is hard to come by for some.

Besides, the whole "Buy a lesser model and mod it to be better" argument is lame for any car.

The seam welded chassis... etc etc... but now - it literally IS a body kit + exhuast + different coils + wheels.... which I CAN do...

And if you are retarded enough to pay the 40k for a nismo... then why not 33k + 7k in mods lol... its all the same...

And Yes people do finance mods... not I ... but people do it all the time...
