Nismo bodykit to become too common?
I love the look of it, but with the US-Spec Nismo bodykit release in the following months, isn't anyone who has this kit a little concerned about the fact that it's going to become a dealer installed option?
Much like the TRD kits for the celicas, there's going to be many new Z's on the lots with the kit pre-installed by the dealerships as a overpriced package. There's going to be quite a few of them driving around in 2004.

i've honestly never really liked the nismo wing..don't like the way the base looks and the wing looks odd to me....guess I am in the minority on this one. I like the front bumper though...I do wish it looked more like one piece though instead of looking like you glued on a front lip to a stock bumper.

I agree as well - not a fan of the NISMO kit at all - to me, the price paid for a bumper that is ever so slightly different from stock is not worth it, and I am not a fan of the skirts or the wing - they don't follow the cars lines smoothly enough IMHO.
I wish they offered the hood from the JGTC car - very nice looking

i think Sony/Nismo styled the rear wing to be the reciprocal of the tail lights... i found it in good taste... but yea its getting quite 'common' hence why i decided to get something else..
heheh.. that NO ONE WILL HAVE! mwuahaha... or until i start sellin' it...
silver carbon? blue carbon? red carbon? you gots it !!1

I somewhat see styling cues from the porsche GT2 in the Nismo kit. I think it looks great except, I don't like the look of the nismo wing from directly behind.
From behind it almost makes the Z look like a angry, evil, robot bunny face. I think it's the base or something.

Ill be wing'n it soon. heh, I like the look of the nismo wing. Its a very original design much like the Z, I feel it fits well. I really don't care how many people have it, I know out of all the Z's I have seen around I have NEVER seen one.

I love the look of it, but with the US-Spec Nismo bodykit release in the following months, isn't anyone who has this kit a little concerned about the fact that it's going to become a dealer installed option?
Also, the US kit does not include the full front bumper, only a lip for the stock bumper. So anyone who got the full Nismo kit (or a full Nismo knock-off) will still be sporting the much better looking Japanese kit front end.
Finally, for those who would consider reselling, it will probably be much easier to sell a car with a kit supported by Nissan than an independent kit. I realize there is a sizeable market for customized imports, but that market is still not as a broad as the general buying public who will possible have seen the "Nismo kit" Zs on the dealer lot and would be more willing to buy a used one like that. Of course, that is a minor concern for me, 'cause I'm never selling mine!!!
