My 350Z........S-Tune?

Whats up all. I have an 05 350z and its a Enthusiast edition 6-spd. Im thinking of adding components to make it the style of the S-Tune Z. I was reading a couple of things and Noticed that the actual S-Tune has its own set parts. I guess the question is, if I added S-Tune parts (Nismo CAI, Nismo Exhaust, Nismo Suspension, Body Kit, Floor Matts) could I still badge the car and call it an S-Tune? Or is the S-Tune all about just stricktly being made by nissan to come out like that? Any advice would help. Although I am not interested in the Wing from the kit, nor the graphics. Thanks

Not really sure how to answer this or what you're looking for, because the S-tune is basically a stock Z with off-the-shelf Nismo parts which you can buy, so basically it's a car with already bought parts. So, even though it didn't come that way from the factory with all the S-tune parts you can still add them. I don't know it would add any real resale value by being an S-tune or not...but if you did want to make it a true S-tune then you'd probably want to go all out and put all the S-tune parts on.

Thank you Red for a quick response. I have been looking around for various kits for this car. Im more of a cleaner look type of person when owning a vehicle and there is a lot of outragious kits for the 350. I was also looking at the Veilside Version 1 Kit which is another add on type lip kit. I think that kit would also look sweet on the Z. I see there prices are a bit high but Im sure they have quality material. I used to go with all Stillen parts when I had my Maximas but I wasnt to Fond of the Stillen kit availible for this car when I got it. It might be a toss up between the Nismo Lip pieces or Veilside. Not sure which is more popular but I like the look of both because of the simple fact that it doesnt take to much look away from the Z itself. The car itself is already sexy. Anyway, thanks for your response bud. I appreciate it.

my altima is considered R-tuned, but i don't waste the money on badges or advertisementing what's underneath the engine bay.

its basically personal opinion. the beauty is in the performance.

after you done all that, if you really want - why not?
I would, and I might as well, since not too many people would be able to do/say that.
