Default Tips and Advice Before Ordering a Nismo 370Z?

Aloha, This upcoming Wednesday I am going to order my 2011 370Z Nismo, and was wondering are there any things I specifically should consider when ordering, kickplates, homelink, other options etc etc. Oh and I am stuck betewwn red and pearl white, both colors looks so amazing. Especially like the red because of the red accents on the Nismo, white because when the sun hits it its like wow!! Anyway any advice or thoughts and opionions would be helpful thanks

when i got mine, i didn't want the kick plates but the car that the dealer had got them. for 2010, the only options were the kickplates and floormats, i believe. you got more options for 2011

oh yeah, they convinced me to buy a better alarm system for the car. i figured i should and did buy it.

If you have a garage door, get the homelink. It's far better to have the opener on the mirror than to deal with an opener on the visor. Not sure how much the kick plates are, but it's kinda nice to see the alluminated "Z" logo when opening the door.... just another "wow" factor.

if you're a do-it-yourself'er id skip on the homelink mirror. the dealer is probably going to charge you ~$400. you can buy one and install it yourself for around $100-150

dont order the nismo brake pads...$500 option, and you dont even get the stock brake pads. no use in my opinion. you can get some damn good pads for $500

i skipped on the kickplates. dont need light up doorsills for $300

i also skipped the nismo cargo mat...i only wanted/needed the regular floor mats, i guess i only saved $100 by ditching the cargo mat though. then again, you could ditch the floor mats all together and get some weather tech all weather floor mats for 80bucks.
