It always amaze me the number of members with non-nismo trims longing for the nismo upgrades yet turning around and hating on the forum nismos peers  It's all Zs the Nismos just look so darn better unless you want to spend another 5k just on the body kit 
Forum member Jordo made some great posts about how non-nismo trims need to add CBE, TP, tune (thus more money over the nismo upgrades) just to catch up to bone stock nismos. You do the math once the Nismo also get the same CBE, TP, tune... No Nav, heated seats, bose speakers are features that can be taken care of for a very marginal cost.
I like the 370z touring but I love the nismo, on numerous occasions, random people gave the thumbs up to the nismo over the non-nismo. By now I'm sure most nismo owners are used to all the stares/flirting at stop lights and at chauffered mercedes execs, porsches, audis & bmws chasing us around just to figure what the make and model of the car is

oh my god man, please! Dont flatter yourself here, lose the self righteous bit too while you are at it. The ratio of these people "longing for the nismo upgrades" is tiny, minimal, at BEST!! The meat of use know that way better parts can be had for the money, so dont generalize the masses with the few exceptions.
I dont why ANYONE would pay 2-3K for some nismo rims when you can get VOLKS for the same...basically anything coming from a nismo car i usually see bargain shoppers buying, why I dont know...better parts can be had for the price, but hey there is a sucker born every minute. And to call a Nismo Bone is stock is ridicules. It has an upgraded exhaust, a tune, and a suspicion that a change to VVEL has been made. Bone stock, no...sorry dont think so....throw a TRUE STOCK 370Z exahust and detune the nismo ECU to a TRUE STOCK 370Z tune, slap em both on a dynojet and i can promise you they will be both within 5rwhp +/- there is NOTHING special about your engine from ours. Theres is absolute no "hating" as you want to put it either, its more like: please snap out of your dream, and join the rest of us in reality, your car was not made from baby jesus DNA.
