Default Is it wrong to put NISMO on a Base Z

I have a Base '06 Z, and have begin looking into getting a few things soon, like NISMO (intake, oil, radiator caps, Carbon Fiber B-Pillars, and floor mats)...This just hit me last night, my Z is not a Nismo, so would adding these make it somehow morally stupid, and throw off the balance..lol...or should i just stick to the non NISMO accessories

Don't buy a real nismo center console with the numbered plaque on it either.

I'd say no to any kind of Nismo graphic.

I wanted to take a giant crap in that thread but I would get banned again.

Makes me wonder about the person who bought it.

For the CF B - Pillar covers i will just get some high quality (non NISMO), but as for the engine component and accessories i say yes, and for the Floor mats i kinda like my Z logo ones..Thanks for everyone's input it helped...haha seriously crazy about someone buying the NISMO center console for the plate

Could this be him..if you look towards the bottom you will see the center console with a NISMO plate 0000

Nismo just indicates the motorsports division of Nissan not just a particular car that is modded by nissan. So as long as your parting with Nismo original stuff (kits, engine mods, etc.) your basically just representing your willingness to represent Nissan and Nismo.

+ on the stickers tho, do not overload your car with them - Decals = Horsepower = Fail

Would the NISMO B Pillar covers fall into this category (they do say NISMO on the bottom), or is it just NISMO Ebay decals and emblems

It is not like your putting an M3 badge on a 330. Basically the Z's are same damn engine, so I'd say go for it.

I'd say its ok, just don't go overboard with a Nismo windshield sticker, etc. A few tastefully done decals/mods is ok...emphasis on tasteful.
