Amuse Vestito test fit -- first in the US!
 
Sorry this is sort of a tease, but there's a lot of work to do and only time to snap a couple of pics. Test fit pics of the nose are available on the facebook page here:

Nice I like it so far.

YellowStar 03-28-2010 10:28 PM

Very nice, how does the undertray look like? is it attached to the bumper or can you remove it?

and as far as the rear bumper, does it look like it has less clearance as oppose to the stock bumper? Just wondering if exhaust systems like F.I and ARK will have fitment issues with the exhaust hitting the black diffuser part.

Working hard, paint is almost finished. Mayday was nice enough to come out and check everything out.

Top Secret 370Z’s Update: Brakes, Body Kits and Balls.

Installed pictures to come shortly!

Awesome pics.

The rear bumper in the amuse pictures shows those 2 holes above the exhaust blacked out or covered up.

they appear to be open in your pictures. Any idea on how they did it? Def perfer the black covered look over the open look.

Oil drain hole. Yes please. Everything looks pretty good.

Also, facebook is blocked at my place of employment and it may be the same for others.

Are you referring to the odd triangle shapes above the exhaust pipes? If so, they are all open, but are painted black on inner parts to make it look filled. The pictures on the 370ztune do show that they are filled, but all of the real world pictures I have seen show that they are cut out, including ours. My only guess is that the ones put up at first were a pre production model????

LiquidZ 03-30-2010 09:32 AM

Good to hear that the Amuse kit fits so well. It makes the price easier to take knowing it requires little to no prep work.

Sorry we tried to get back over there to take a picture of where it was mounted but it has already been taken down. I can tell you that we put the rear jackstands on the lower spring seat arm and the front ones were put below the two rear bolts on the front sub-frame. Hope this helps!

jmlenz 03-31-2010 03:32 PM

Simply amazing!

theDreamer 03-31-2010 03:34 PM

I know these are a little crude, but its the best we've got for tonight. More HQ pictures to follow shortly, enjoy, and come see everyone at Import Reactor this weekend!

theDreamer 03-31-2010 09:42 PM

Baker, where is the car going to be tomorrow?
How late can I drop by, will be leaving UH main campus around 5.15 and might try to stop by since I was suppose to be in IR but not going to make it at all now. :(

It is still at secret services now, (as are we) but it will be at the North Location tomorrow for most of the day. Jason Langley will be finishing the Amuse Ti Bar and a Greddy Display (a couple new additions!), and then well just be preping for Import Reactor. PM me if you want to head out there and I'll make sure its avaliable for anyone to check out. I'm sure he'll be happy to show you anything/take you out for a ride.

Hahaha, we were very fortunate to have some good connections over in Japan who really took care of us, both with Top Secret and Amuse. I was suprised that the brace came in as fast as it did (About a week from when I asked for it to when it hit our doors!!!!!!). We will have tons of pictures to come tomorrow!!!!!!!!
