Don't understand those replies, it was just a simple question.

If you bought the car, what are you debating?

yeah, if you got the car already, it's not worth it to trade it in, it's not like the nismo got twin turbos in them, might as well save your money on some mods. Besides your 40th edition interior is sick, I will keep it just for that.

It's replies like the first two that already are starting to make me feel uncomfortable at this place.. Keep the my350 douchebaggery outta here.

Just keep the 40th anniversary, very nice interior.. Comes out only one year. Nismo is just some aero and a little bit of performance tweeks. Nothing TOO crazy.

Hope this helps!

I don't like the look of the Nismo at all. Whilst the 40th looks unique & class, the Nismo looks boy racerish. I'd keep the 40th and never ever consider the Nismo which I personally despise.

I like the Nismo front, but the rear wing is a bit too over the top for my liking.

AND I don't like cloth seats in any car costing in the $40k's. But I'm a leather junkie.

But the Nismo has its cachet and justifiably ample following.

I gotta ask then: WHY did you purchase the 40th? What did you like about it that you pulled the trigger? Did you look at the Nismo's too? You obviously made some conscious choices back then. What changed between then and now?

I think there's no discussion. You should have had that thought before signing the paperwork on your 40th anniv edition.

For all we know he's minted and just needs to sell his 40th to the dealer and pay extra for a Nismo and if he's REALLY minted he could buy a Nismo and keep his 40th and if he's REALLY REALLY minted he could get himself a Ferrari instead.

Agreed.
The 40th is unique. With a better interior for sure without purple. Had the dealer not been willing to deal on my '09 coupe I certainly would have gone for a 40th.

The I love the color of the 40th not to mention the interior compliments it perfectly. You should definitely stick with your original instinct. The amount of money you would lose trading it would probably be way more than buying stock nismo bumpers and painting them to match the 40th. Not to mention you would still have your 40th bumpers if you ever wanted to go back.
