 I've owned this car for a month now and love it.  I have gotten nothing but great performance out of my Spec V.  Have had no transmission problems or alignment problems.  Handles really good, but ABS is not standard nor is side air bags.  Which really isnt a big deal unless you are really concerned about safety and if thats the case i dont suggest a tuner car like the SE/R models.  As far as the body kit, Ive found 6 or 7 of them on eBay and some of the performance sites.  Honestly, if you want to REALLY know what people think about this car, do not go off of these people.  Go to nissanforums.com and see how the owners who know a lot about cars like it.
