2. How are ‘obtaining’ parts especially like the trunk and spoiler - reason why I ask is that I have considered maybe looking at trying to get a V1 Nismo trunk but want to keep the V2 for trade-in or just to ‘go back to OEM’ if I want to etc.

Overall - the color that I would really look to trade in my current Z would be to get a Nismo in Magma Red - that is just my favorite color followed closely by the 40th anniversary color. Regardless - definitely following.
V1 isn’t available with automatic. It’s the wife's car. She isn’t much of a car person, but she has clear preference in looks. Only GT3RS variants and V1 Nismo are considered “forever car” for her. V2, while very good looking in her eyes, doesn’t hit the same for her. I have an 09 V1, and she just can’t stop drooling over it.

I bought a replica wing, painted along side the body kit, but found a great deal on a color matching V1 hatch a couple nights ago, save me whole lotta trouble (plugging holes, drilling new ones, paint…)

Rest of the parts I ordered from Z1.
