Body Kit + City driving conditions Question

docaam · 03-14-2011, 10:49 PM

I am pretty happy with amuse height, only thing are the sides which sometimes scrapes on bumps. Had a sunline lipkit which sits way low then Amuse

Are you going to daily drive this kit? Probably not the best idea given how long it is..

Cafiax · 03-15-2011, 07:15 PM

Well I have a civic which i drive to Work etc but I usually drive the 370 to anywhere except for work. Does the amuse come colourless and Il have to get a paint job to match my pearl white? or would i get them already painted?

You do like Phelan and surround it with all your pillows?

I switch between the Z with the amuse kit and my r6. Its only been a couple days and while I havent scraped the front bumper, I have definitely scraped the side skirts already. Nothing too bad, all underneath, but I think scraping is almost inevitable with kits this low, especially if you DD it, no matter HOW careful you are.

I figure ill get at least the side skirts repainted every other year or so, depending on how bad it is, but its not a bad price to pay for a kit that looks like pure sex everytime you look at it.

Hello.

This is my first post here.

I currently drive a 2000 Celica GTS. I was considering getting a 370Z in 2014. I started doing some research on body kits and have found the Amuse kit to be best looking in my humble opinion.

I was wondering if I could ask a favor of those with this kit and stock height? Would you mind getting the old measuring tape and let me know how far the front of the bumper and the middle of the skirt are off the ground.Then I would be able to compare that to my Celica to see if I will scrape. My Celica is a daily driver.

Thank you in advance for your help.

PS. Here is a pic of my car.

My amuse skirts are are being painted today and I'm pretty worried about tearing them up. I'm only on springs and during the test fit I only had 3 inches of clearance on the skirts. I'm almost positive I will have to now avoid even the smallest speed bumps.

This kit wouldnt look right without a drop imo.

You gotta pay to play.

How low do you figure the front is?

You are probably right. Is the Sport Package Z lowered compared to standard?
