I went through Jerry's Weatherford. I went through USAA's car buying program and they're a partnered dealer. Adam was my salesman and he was helpful and knew his stuff. Their financing manager was also very nice and thorough and didn't try to blow any smoke.

Texas Nissan in Grapevine seemed like they didn't want my business when I was shopping a month before I purchased. The salesman (had to be like 19) seemed like he had a chip on his shoulder and wasn't willing to spend any real time answering my questions. Also, the sales manager just came across brash, I just pictured Bernie Mac for some reason. They tried to offer me a $600/mo lease on the "top of the line" Z, you know, the one that sells for 29.5k.... They were also unwilling to let me test drive the car, stating that customers don't like miles on the car and that they typically only allow test drives if you're "ready to buy." Terrible.
*Note: I went to Texas Nissan to have the hatch spring issue looked at and after a little time talking to the right people they are taking care of it for me. Seems the Service side of this dealer is it's shining light.

I went to Grubbs Nissan in Bedford and spoke with a man named Wayne. He was super helpful, understanding, and got with his financing guys to put together some estimations without running my credit. If they had been on the ball on finding and getting a PW Nismo for me I would have definitely gone with them. They had my 2nd choice in stock, a PW Sport Touring 6MT.

Also, when asked about a maintenance program, I followed up with some questions. They will not use Synthetic or Esther (sp?) oil or dismount tires to rotate them side-to-side, so it's not worth it. I later saw that the Yokohamas that come in the Nismo can't be moved side to side anyways, so it was a non-issue to begin with.

As far as the bra goes, my brother works at Park Place Lexus and he did some research. They typically go for 6-800$ from what I've found, although mine may be more because they don't have the Nismo front end in the computer so they'll have to do it custom.

**Sidenote: I literally just noticed I typed "Nizmo" with a "Z" in the topic, I'm bad, I know... If I could fix it I would. :P
