1. The rear: looks identical to the standard amuse rear, which I am a fan of.
2. The sides: I think the side skirts flow pretty well with the all the vents in the front and rear bumpers and if they could be made functional (e.g. break ducting) that would be even better.
3. The front: I don't dislike it because it looks like you're trying to make the Z look like a GTR, I can appreciate the desire for functional air flow. I dislike it because the center section just doesn't fit with the amuse front bumper. The amuse front is very sleek and the GTR center section is bulky. I'd try to make it blend in better so it doesn't look so out of place.

I realize these are just concept photos and the final product may look different, but after reading through the rest of the thread it seems like you are taking the comments people are offering and saying, "You guys don't know what you like, this is what we're going to make." So use the suggestions you are getting to improve the look and put out the best kit you can.

The Rear is the same with design with a few tweaks...
- Side vents are larger
- Center duct shelf is about 2"~3" lower to allow for a custom exhaust
- Rear Diffuser is added
- The whole bumper is lower

Here is a GTR Bumper for Comparison...


Notice that our center section is completely flat across the top... The GTR's isnt.
Notice also how big and bulky that opening is... Ours will be about 1"~1.5" tall according to the rendering.
Also, Our center section is simply there to cover the crash beam area





Dimer,

Please dont take my responses as we arent listening... we are running many ideas and concepts to remain functional and to better a great kit!

A lot of people love the amuse kit and we want to offer a differing version of it. Something that will have a fresh look yet still appeal to the amuse crowd. I have heard from many that they would buy the amuse kit but it seems like everybody and their brother has that kit. People are looking for something a little different... we are trying to speak out to that crowd.
