Amuse Kit Question
 

* I googled and used the search function (20 pages worth of threads and posts... interesting reads)

** For members that own the authentic Amuse kit! I am planning on pulling the trigger on the Amuse kit in the classified section.

How do you mount the license plate and lights on the rear bumper?

Will the carbon fiber version of the Amuse kit bolt onto the existing brackets on the frame with no modification needed?

Can I uninstall my factory bumpers, side skirts, and reuse the bolts to mount the Amuse kit on? (plug and play)

Thanks!

There's an amuse kit for sale?

Yes.

Yes.

Fair warning, I've seen a crappy fitting authentic Amuse kit... So... Get a bodyshop to fit it, I wouldn't 100% trust the "you get what you pay for" saying

Yes, two full kits in the classified section. one full carbon w/o wing and the other is the FRP w/wing. Very well priced...

I've heard this also. If you're spending that much amount of money for an authentic kit, I'd let the professionals do the installation. Unless of course, you are the professional :tup:

I am not 100% sure, but I believe you just use the bracket from the stock bumper. Or is that only for Shine Auto kit?

Maybe some answers here.

Dan and I had to make a custom license plate mount for mine. My authentic kit fit great and was installed by the guys at Fast Intentions who are definitely not body guys.

nice thanks for the input... after further reading I might wait until I get some new wheels and a FI kit...

Since the thread has kind of been answered. Instead of making a new thread I was wondering who makes the best quality amuse replica?

Not 100% sure,but I would think the guys at "power house amuse" located in Japan would be your best bet as they came up with the design.

As for fitment problems,I would dry fit it first to see if fitment is spot on. If it is,then you can save money by just getting it professionally painted. If not,than yes,let the pros have at her.

Asking the same question again, will get you the same answer again. ;)

He asked about authentic amuse parts, unfortunately I can't afford those. I was asking about best quality replica. However I do see your point.

I am sure you recall this thread.

Sorry I smoke a lot. I've long since forgotten that thread. But now that I've reread it and MY responses. I'm going to quit being a cheap bastard and save for the real thing. Even my wife is telling me if I don't get the real kit she won't put her money towards a replica. This is all I want is it too much to ask

If you can afford it, then you should definitely go for the authentic part :tup:

But here's my shine amuse rep rear fitment. I'd say it's pretty damn good.

I'm trying to find the difference between the one above and yours

This is the authentic amuse. & I do see that the gap between the hatch and the rear bumper is larger on the rep.

100% due to the installer

You can easily fix that

On the replicas the gap can be fixed?

I have no gap, lol

Also, on the one you posted at the bottom of page 2, I think that was a really crap fitting kit, you can see the shadow of the hatch on the bumper. Looks like the bumper is flat while the hatch is curved

And on the sides. Holly molly is that bad.

Thanks for learning me guys. I'm coming from a rock crawler. It's different not caring about the exterior of your rig to the exterior being a crucial part of your build. I like the attention to detail in everything around here. What kit do you have?

Shine.

Both of us, if I were to do it again, Fly1 FTW.

;) Now you tell me.

Fly1 over Shine? I have done a lot of reading on the forums but it's always random stuff and honestly only negative information sticks with me. I know to stay away from GTM and EVO R for different reasons.

I am sorry I have a lot of questions but I just started looking into aero as when I bought my Z I was going to focus on performance but I am thinking aero first considering the performance I want is going to cost more then a house.

I've seen 1 Shine, mine. And a bunch of Fly1 stuff. 2 advantages forum sponsor, and I can call Lohit, text him, PM him pretty much 24/7

Oh, for the record, I don't have a single Fly1 piece on my car. 0.

I'm a huge fan of supporting forum sponsors, for plenty of reasons. Thanks again for all the information. I'll rep you both when I get home.

Last question I swear, the picture I showed of the amuse replica and single exhaust. Judging by the license plate it's a custom Fast Intentions

Amuse R1000 single race exhaust.

The rear bumper is a custom CF and CF body pieces are difficult to install properly as they do not flex much.

i will be talking to my installer very soon :mad:

So I've been eyeing the Aero Jacket's full carbon AM kit? Yeah or nay? Need input... I've been searching for a reputable body shop that work with carbon fiber...
