Your sig says u got an Aero package? If so, then stop right now. None of these kits will look as good as what you already have.

The dealer told me the car have a Aero package but my car looks like regular sedan. I have different wheels and i also got a rear spoiler. I think in 03 that was the aero package and the Nismo package was the full kit. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

OK, so you are correct, your body kit isn't a Nismo.

The only bumper I'm feeling of the ones you posted are the VIS Nismo replica. BUT I wouldn't purchase the VIS one. HikkataDori makes a revised Nismo that will fit way better than the VIS and looks better with the license plate delete. You can purchase it from hikkatadori or Dustin@StrafeAutomotive.

If you go with the HD Nismo then you can get a set of Nismo sides from the Marketplace, there have been sets popping up there all the time.

For the rear you should hold out for the Ionic Nismo, its already been test fitted, hopefully it will be up for sale soon.

If you want to consider other front bumpers you should look into the KuRookie (see my avatar and garage) and the bumpers that Strafe offers.

From what I understand the Aero package was seperate from the Nismo kit. I think the Aero package included the rear wing and underbody diffusers to reduce drag.

I think it may be the sport package (5 spoke wheels, rear spoiler). Agree on the Nismo stuff that CSP (Marcus) was talking about. There was a write up not too long ago that the VIS front Nismo replica had good fitment, but the rear lip they offered did not fit at all. Apparently it was formed off the JDM rear bumper (which is shorter than the USDM) and is basically useless. PM me if you want Nismo skirts or any of the vendors in the Marketplace. There's much better aftermarket body parts on this forum than the ones you listed (IMO). The top three links were just ugly (again, IMO).
Good luck!

This is correct. CO you have the Sport (17" five-spokes, stiffer springs in rear with front/rear shocks to match) and Aero package but not the Nismo kit. If you want official confirmation, take your VIN to a dealer and they should be able to tell you.

I'm thinking to go with the Strafe body kit, what you guys think?
It’s hard to judge from pictures so I would like to get feedback from people that have it or saw it. Is that a good quality kit?

I've seen the trunk and the hood in person. Yes, its good quality. Will take a bit of work to get it to fit properly, but that is normal for any aftermarket body kit part.
