NISMO VS AMUSE rear bumper cover

ShoFamous · 02-09-2012, 03:27 PM

As the title says, that's my options. Some dumbass backed into my parked Z and trashed the paint on the Nismo bumper I have now... So I'm debating about going with the Amuse rear end instead of the Nismo. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Looks like you have the Stillen front bumper?
I would say Nismo as it fits the more angle style of the Stillen front bumper while the Amuse is a bit more flowing with curves.

ShoFamous · 02-09-2012, 03:32 PM

Yep it's the Stillen front end. I was thinking the same but wow, that Amuse is a sexy thing...

Thanks for the input! +1 for the Nismo

I do really enjoy the Amuse kit, get to see it a bunch here in Houston.
I am personally going with the OEM Nismo on my car.

That popular there huh? I'm pretty sure I'm the only one here in Austin that has any kind of body mods on a 370z so I don't get to see many options in person lol.

3 Amuse kits already in town, white/black/red so far.
I almost got it but I prefer the Nismo just a bit more.

They both would make me happy. I'm not worried if someone else has the same rear end as most likely, they will have a different front end &/or sideskirts. I just want to have your thoughts (other Z owners/supporters) on what would fit better for the current theme of the car, instead of relying solely on my own.

I say amuse, personally i like the nismo fronts but not the rears.

Amuse... But I am biased. I am the black one in Houston.

Lol ironically I'm the exact opposite. I don't really care for the Nismo front but I love that rear lol.

Lol just do the amuse ones. Try a different thing. If you're not happy with it you can always sell it off and buy the nismo ones again
