Before I get flamed I'd like to atleast get my question out...

I'm on the fence with purchasing a 370 because I still can't figure out the better value between the trims. A lot of my love for the Nismo comes from the body kit. I think it looks great and if I get the nismo I probably wouldn't touch it for the life of the car. Further more in both cars I will eventually swap out all the parts anyway: exhaust, rims, brakes, etc.

On the other hand, I'm not particularly fond of the stock 370 body, however, I want the features of the touring: built in nav, leather seats, backup cam, etc. but would want to put the nismo body on it because I don't want the nightmare of doing body work to the vehicle, it's a bloody nightmare (unless someone knows of another kit that is already completely fitted to the 370. Is the amuse?). Problem is the nismo kit is $8000 or so on its own.

Guess the question would be:

Nismo with catskinz, double dins, etc.

Or

Touring with Nismo kit and possibly being called a poser?

I'm looking for responses regarding cost comparison, potential problems down the road regarding body, performance, or warranty issues. So with that... let the flaming commence.
