Is the nismo worth it

That feel when the guy in the $150,000 Audi R8 slows down to check out your 370Z and gives you an enthusiastic thumbs up.

It's just plain fun to drive such a unique vehicle.

Same thing happens to me all the time from guys driving exotics and pretty much everything else. I'm actually shocked and was made a believer on how rare and beautiful these cars are on the road. My SRT and M3 NEVER got this much attention.

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?

But back to your question, "is it worth the extra money to get a Nismo" Yes...... Yes it is.

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...

Depends on what you want. In my opinion the "ooooh what kind of car is it?" makes me feel good. I've gotten 1-2 verbal compliments a day in traffic. Some people might not like all that attention but I live for it.

Its a NISMO, bragging rights, looks...( especially IMOP 2009 to 2014) track and performance upgrades...yep more than worth it.

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.
