Possible problems mix and matching bodykits?

Amuse370z · 11-24-2011, 04:06 AM

Lets say I want my Z to have a Stillen front bumper, varis side skirts and the amuse wing/ rear bumper.

What are some possible problems that I might be facing? I was thinking if the skirts were lower than the front bumper or something that that, then it'll look pretty weird.

The height off the ground is one possible problem. Another is that the lines of the various parts won't matchup. Another is that the look of the parts (curved Vs angled) might not match.

Look at pictures of the parts see if a local body shop can do some PS renderings for you before

I'm in a similar situation I want an Amuse front bumper only but afraid it will look funny.

I think its only the sides which can might cause problem in height but otherwise its nice to mix and match.

Lots of people are running just the Amuse rear bumper and it does looks nice

What do you think about running just the front?

I think the amuse front would look ok by itself. Though I think it would flow better with the side skirts as well.

I personally love the amuse front but I think the rear is too busy for my taste.

I like the rear of the Amuse kit, but every time I see the front bumper for the Amuse kit I can't help but think it looks like a Mazda 3.

I thought of the same combination as well, amuse rear, varis sides and fuji bumper. But after some photoshopping it looks wierd so i changed my mind on it

I mixed and matched on my car.....

Mine's front lip
Mine's rear spoiler add-on
Varis CF hood
Central 20 side skirts
Ab Flug rear bumper

I think it came out looking pretty good.
