Carbon Signal Amuse Rear Bumper Help
 
3 Attachment(s)
Hi guys,

So still fairly new to the mod game, have only done small things so far like GTR start button, dome lights, EVO-R emblmems.

Anyways, I am looking at getting an Amuse Rear Bumper from a local seller for the first major modification, and wanted some opinions on if this bumper looks like a flush fit or not.


Based on the pictures does this bumper appear to fit a little less than flush with the trunk hatch or am I being too much of a stickler for details?



Thanks!

Are you referring to the "gap" on the trunk line? I think even my current OEM bumper has a slight gap if I am not mistaken.

I am. Does it not seem slightly larger than the OEM gap though? And uneven in the sense that it is wider closer to the tailights vs in the center (especially in the pic of the passenger side tail light).

You have to realize that (in the pic of the passenger taillight) the passenger taillight gap is closer to you than the center, perspective makes it look bigger.

Plus CS stopped selling amuse parts almost two years ago.

Good call, I'm prob just being paranoid because it's listed at a ridiculously low price, and you know what usually happens if things seem too good to be true...

Seller got it used and claims to only have had it on the car for a month.

Thanks for the input so far.

I think I may go and check out the bumper this weekend, any tips on what to look for/ ask regarding the bumper??

that's my old bumper. Fitment was 98% dead on.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

A good body shop can make it fir perfect (or 98%).

Great, thanks! He sent some pics of your blue Z with the bumper, looked Sweet!

I have an authentic amuse on my Z right now and I would say there is a slightly larger gap than oem, I think that's just the nature of aftermarket parts. You'll be the only one who notices.

That being said, im selling my authentic amuse if your interested in getting something, lets say "more real". Send me a message we can definitely work out shipping.

Here's another authentic amuse rear with the gap showing.
