2015 Nismo Conversion on 2012 Base
Lately I have really wanted the new 2015 Nismo look but was unsure if it was possible on my 2012 base model. Soo... I went ahead and tried the full conversion on my 2012. The conversion was excellent... Check out the photo's
For those interested, just know it is possible but costly to an extent. I'm going to keep my wing on it however, I think it looks better with it. Last edited by JCarter370z; 07-14-2015 at 07:18 PM. |

How much of an edge is there between the rear bumper and the hatch lid?

LOL i can just see this happening:
come time for you to trade in your car and you don't feel like swapping everything back to stock and give to the dealership as in. Dealerships don't know any better and advertise/sell as Nismo model to a dude that doesn't know any better bc it will be his first Nissan Z. He posts pics and brags (perhaps even ask as to why his car doesn't have SRM) about his ride only to find out it's not a true nismo, but rather the bare bones base model.

Probably won't happen considering most willing to pay the premium for new nismos would check to see if the seats were the OEM recaros. |

Only a person not shrewd enough to research a car before buying one could fall for that (which is what you said). And if they don't do research, they can only blame themselves.

anyone looking for a Z should know that a 12 nismo would not have that body kit anyways. on a side note, that makes me want to slap on a nismo badge on my sport when it comes time to sell and see what happens (jk)

I'm about to do something pretty similar to this with my car in the same color so I'm really curious. I'm hoping the edge of the 15 bumper doesn't drive me nuts when I see it with a sports package spoiler.
