Is the nismo worth it

I would probably buy the Nismo if you're not modding it. I was in a similar situation when I bought my 2011 sport. I knew I would be modding it

I would probably buy the Nismo if you're not modding it. I was in a similar situation when I bought my 2011 sport. I knew I would be modding it but it went further than I intended.

I liked the red interior accents of the Nismo and the more aggressive body, so I made myself one. Suspension has been replaced with SPL and Fortune Auto 500 coilovers, sounds are now from a Kenwood Navi with Focal comps and midrange. Aftermarket exhaust, cats and intake. I don't like the bubble butt of the Nismo so kept the sport rear fascia and added spats and a carbon diffuser.

The other advantage to buying the Nismo if you are modding there are always people looking for your leftover parts if you would decide to sell them... Here is mine as it sits... Either way, good luck and enjoy it!!!!

Not to hijack the thread but I'm beginning to like those JDM tail lights the more I see them. Yours is the first black car I see with them. Do u have any thoughts and more pics?

Thoughts are I wouldn't go back to the stock lens unless I had to, to me me gives it a much cleaner look matching the front lens. Here is the only other picture I have...

I have a 2016 Nismo and my front headlight lenses are black from factory so those tail lights would not be a good match on my car. Thanks for the pics. They do look good on your car though.
