OP, dont do it. I have the Nismo S-Tuned 350z and i think they look best the way the Zs look without the Nismo body kit. As for Crawling_Drunk ( Love you your online screen name btw lol ) I love your car. Looks clean. The nismo wing is way to rice, your car looks very clean without the wing. Im not a fan of bodykits whats so ever. But your car is clean none the less +1

Strafe has a damn nice version of the Nismo V3... Looks awesome, though the rear end is even busier, the front has no space for the Nissan emblem and side markers...
As for putting Nismo stickers on a Nismo car... NO! THAT is posing, like putting "Evolution" on a regular Lancer, or STi on a WRX... get my drift?

Do it:
1. Don't buy an Ebay kit. [+1]
2. Get a different rear that the Nismo, it's too busy and doesn't flow well. [If you get the wing, it flows just fine.]
3. Paint the bottom of the front black as well as the sides. [+1]
4. Get rid of the Nismo spoiler, too rice. [-1]
5. Post pics when done [+1]
Just my

I say you should go for it. Im biased towards the v2 myself, so maybe also consider the v2 because its sexy..But do whatever you prefer. As long as you are able to look at your car each day and be happy with how it looks then go for it man.

One thing is to have money, another thing is to mindlessly throw it away. And that's how I feel regarding a bodykit... There's a lot better, different mods I could do for 5K (For example, the turbo kit I ordered was 6.8K... over 1/2 of the price of an authentic Nismo full Kit...) Would you rather have a Nismo bodykit, painted or a Powerlab Single Turbo kit pushing close to 400whp? I could invest on brakes, suspension or transmission upgrades instead of visual mods... I'm the kinda guy that think Go>Show.
