so your paying the premium for a spartan interior and a body kit. i love the body kit. but you seem to have a lot of experience in the aftermarket, i'm sure you could source a nismo body kit.
The body-kit is kindof shoddy I think, as well. I looked at one and wasn't impressed. I am sure there are much better made aftermarket options. The main thing the Nismo is getting you are the rims (@$5K if you purchase them separately...WOW! yes, I checked at a local dealership, buy some take-offs instead for sure!) and suspension. It's a stripped interior with only 4 speakers, and no NAV.

Almost every test I have seen shows very little improvement in any performance category with the Nismo, and many tests show it does various things worse than previously tested Touring/Sport models.
