I wasn't willing to pay up for the marginal performance gains knowing I could do a lot better in the aftermarket. The ricer rear spoiler is a wicked huge turn off too.

To each their own though, right?
calling the brakes an epic fail is not completely true. The calipers and rotors are great and will stop these babies on a dime. The stock pads and fluid are not sufficient for a real beating, and they should have run some cooling vents to them. But the brakes themselves are quite good. Nissan simply cheaped out on the consumable parts and didn't provide proper cooling.
