When we went to Amuse we found out that the front bumper includes an integrated front diffuser:

Now, who here thinks that Amuse demonstrated immense amounts of kaizen when designing this kit? I personally think that Amuse hit the nail right on the head for quite a few reasons.

1.) I think this kit looks amazing
2.) Amuse quality represents Japanese kaizen all over it
3.) This is the first major breakthrough for Amuse since Hideki Tanabe's passing.

For the longest time, Hideki Tanabe, founder & owner of Amuse, was considered to be the central pillar of the company's success and brilliant ideas. Obviously, being who he is, Tanabe-San never took credit for being the sole mastermind behind Amuse, but a lot of people thought it (he was the driver for all the Amuse cars during their record times at Tsukuba).

After his passing, people wondered if Amuse would ever be able to uphold their exclusive status and high quality products.

This kit just goes to show that the central pillar of ingenuity was generated by the entire Amuse team years ago and it is just as strong as it ever was...which is a prime example of kaizen in my opinion; the dug deep in order to not only sustain a company, but help it improve at the same time (without any down time) while trying to improve themselves as well.

This kit just screams JDM innovation in my eyes and I cannot help but think that this kit really compliments the curvature of the car and really improves the overall look (in my opinion). So in a way, Amuse incorporated kaizen in their 370Z by incorporating kaizen into their daily work life. A ripple effect of improvement results in a tidal wave of success; and this kit was a definite success.

We’ve just prepared a pre-order special. For our wholesale clients you can contact us and we’ll work out wholesale terms for you on this new hotness; for all you 370Z owners out there, we can offer you 10% off on a pre-order of these kits. We hardly ever discount Amuse again since it’s not a discount brand to say the leas; but we definitely want to give 370Z owners something special and to be able to show Amuse Japan that the community supports them with a nice healthy pre-order before the year is up.

Now, for the moment you have all been waiting for...the pictures & links!

Sick! I usually hate bodykits cause they look too AZN, but this is bad.

Can you get up more photos of different colors? PG, Silver, etc. ??

How does a body kit look "AZN"? I think some people would be offended if they look like body kits.

So by having an integrated front underpan,..how would one change the oil or jack up the car? If one had to crawl down a driveway or scraped the bottom of the front spoiler,.it would look pretty banged up...

If it were a 2 piece, regular maintanence wouldnt be bad, but to take off the bumper for oil changes would suck...

wonder if that's why they have that rectangular opening underneath? to facilitate oil changes? i mean...it's pretty far back there, but i dunno O_o;

The metal piece behind the Bottom of the bumper is the front Jack point. I'm pretty sure you have to take off the bumper to change the oil and filter.

If I ever pick up a Z34... this will be the kit that I'll be considering.

So FAAAAKING SEXY!

I doubt that square opening does anything as far as making oil changes easier.

I honestly think that Amuse should have done what Voltex did for the s2000. Voltex made a three piece bumper (bumper, lip, splitter). That way, it could be both functional and practical at the same time. If someone were to scrape this bumper, they'd probably be crying somewhere. If you messed up the Voltex piece beyond repair, then it's as simple as just purchasing a new splitter instead of the entire thing.

That is what I think too,.. The design is awesome, but servicing the car is too much trouble every 3k miles. Taking off the bumper that often may lead to scratches and paint chips. A three piece or removeable under belly would solve this and for replaceable parts.

Regarding oil changes, the cut out looks to be a bit small but we'll need to see want the first owners of these kits think. These should be out of production soon.

Amuse debuted their new hood on Yokohama/Advan's demo car. Here are a few photos we snapped at Tokyo Salon 2012 Setup Day. We have more information and photos to come! The wheels are Advan's new Racing GTs.
