Im happy with my choice. The fact that its NOT a me to car and everyone has one but by having a #car over a non #car any day.
I think a closer poll would be 40th vs Nismo. Cause I pled the 5th. Lol

Lol, that's the only thing for me. I even changed and got the regular 370 front bumper. Only reason i got a nismo is because I got it for the same price as a sports edition.

the front bumber is one of the best parts about the nismo..... to each his own i guess

You just lost all your stability and downforce at high speed in the front, and made it look worse, and had to spend money to get it done, its the whole package deal

The Nismo front bumper looks so much better then the regular! Sorry to say.. Oh well.. its your car.

The front splitter on the NISMO is something unique for a stock vehicle and was one of the primary things that really drew me to getting mine. You can find splitters on Indy, NASCAR and F1 cars I suppose...

I got the nismo for 33, I didn't lose anything. Look worse? Your opinion. You can have the same look as thousands on here. Lost stability at high speeds? No, doing 120+ feels the same. Again, its my car, I do what I want. I won't lose sleep worrying about what people might think of it. Its only a nissan.

Well, actually you did, you had to buy the parts, paint them, then put them on the car. For all that, I would have just gotten a sport/touring with a leather interior and maybe a nav. Seems kind of pointless.

Again.. I didn't have to do any of those, so I didn't lose anything.

So you are saying you bought a Nismo, then had standard 370z parts put on that you didn't buy, or paint, or paid for install?

Yes.. working at shops and having people hook you up with parts have its advantages. If you need to pay for an install you can easily do in a few minutes you have obviously never worked on enough cars.

I also don't have have friends who gift me major car parts that happen to be the exact same color and shade of the car I have. You must be lucky!
