Like I stated, I am unfamiliar with the trim levels of the 370Z.

And there is absolutely nothing wrong with a Nismo hoodie. I just like to call him "Mr. Nismo".

Definitely not a Nismo. The floating calipers is a dead give away. Nismo models have the Akebono calipers. Please b!tch slap that guy for us OP.

As of now the car has:
- 2008 350Z Nismo wheels
- Straight-piped Nismo exhaust
- Nismo badge on the front grill
- Crooked Nismo badge on the rear bumper
- Nismo floor mats
- Last but not least, he wears his Nismo hoodie to the meets on the weekends.

IMO, I know it's not a Nismo. I'm pretty sure it's just a Base 370Z. He has heated and powered leather/suede seats.

Thoughts of what trim level this ACTUALLY is?
pics of fake 370z? sounds like a poser indeed

Are you sure this isn't just a grammar misunderstanding? Is he saying he has a Nismo trim level 370 Z? Or is he just using Nismo in the adjective sense to describe some parts on his car?

He says that he has a Nismo 370Z. On his Instagram description, it even says "Nismo 370Z". Which is complete ********.

Yeah I know, lol. It's sad to see a good looking car get riced out. It's like Nismo through-up all over it.

Nismo 370z ❤
Looks like he even went as far as adding a Nismo rear badge to his Z. Looking through his photos, you can see his progress on updating his car (wheels, kit, badges -- still no Nismo seats, brakes, or plaque). What a tool.

Thank you! It's funny you found him on Instagram, lol. He even has a Nismo badge on the front grill area. Like really?
