You can get real aerodynamics from a number of other body kits. And all the other parts you can acquire on your own of possibly better quality. I can understand the status symbol... but let's be honest it's still a Z. A slightly better Z than the sport package one, but a Z nontheless. And I'm not exactly sure if you can speak for every dealer when it comes to special treatment.
Getting a Nismo is kind of like getting a special edition Scion. Yeah...you can say you're one of the few that got it...but in the end you're still driving a scion. And in no way am I comparing the performance of a Nismo to a Scion....like I said I was in the market for one until I found out exactly what it was I'd be paying extra for.
Judging from what I've seen on this site alone, most people end up changing half the stuff you mentioned anyway...
