lol shut up chris...The car will be 100% carbon fiber by the end of the year. I have stopped for the next couple of months due to shows, znationals and I want to drive it before its winter again haha.. The Doors and hatch are simple additions, its the quarter panels that are causing me to wait until winter. The roof is even carbon fiber but the quarter panels are just tricky. The 350z has a few carbon fiber rear panel but NONE for the 370z yet. I tried to get seibon to make it but they said there isnt that much demand. WHICH IS IDIOTIC BECAUSE OF COURSE THERE IS NO DEMAND FOR A PRODUCT THAT DOESNT EXIST. I KNOW 90% OF THE TIME IF I DONT SEE SOMETHING, I DONT BOTHER ASKING SO THEY'RE ASSUMING AND RATHER THAN MAKE IT FIRST THEY WANT TO WAIT :/ which is the reason why i dont have any seibon parts :P cause they mean hah

This is NOT Amuse.
This is a KNOCKOFF. We normally would not post about something on a thread with knockoff parts because we hope that the owner of the car KNOWS what he or she is buying. HOWEVER, it has been stated multiple times on this thread that this is a CF Amuse kit, and it is not. We have a warm relationship working with Amuse. Their R&D and designs lead to excellent products (we just received 3 AUTHENTIC their Vestito kits in our last shipment in fact), and we want to make sure that the casual reader at least is AWARE of what they are seeing. Amuse never publicly offered a full CF kit. They have a CF overlay version and custom orders available. |

Second, I was in the market for a 100% carbon fiber body kit. Unfortunately POWERHOUSE does not make a carbon fiber kit so I came across this one. FINALLY.... I doubt this kit has any sort of trademark/copyright justification on it BUT FOR ARGUMENT SAKE lets say it did... THEN considering the "Carbon Fiber Amuse" kit consist of 10% or more design change, it wouldnt matter ![]() ![]() The term "Carbon Fiber Amuse" when used, is used for descriptive purposes only and are not meant to imply any affiliation with their mark holders. Unless otherwise protected by POWERHOUSE, that term is free use ![]() I dont even sell this kit, I simply purchased it for myself. Our business model doesnt revolve in the "body kit" market. I find it interesting that you selected my thread amongst the SEVERAL other threads on the370z.com that almost every replica kit has been displayed, wasnt replied too. ![]() AND FINALLY.... Here's the retail price of POWERHOUSE AMUSE VESTITO KIT 3P Kit - Front Bumper, Side Steps, Rear Bumper US $ 3,415.51 Front Bumper US $ 1,267.82 Full Kit - Front Bumper, Side Steps, Rear Bumper, Rear Wing US $ 4,567.39 IF you want to discuss ethical standards then explain why I purchased an ALL CARBON FIBER AMUSE KIT which was also CLEAR COATED and wetsanded, buffed and waxed, 3-piece comparison, for a LOT CHEAPER than the 3 pc Fiberglass NON PAINTED, NO CLEAR COAT, CHEAPER MATERIAL THAN WHATS OFFERED ON THE KIT I HAVE "carbon fiber is more expensive" but yea POWERHOUSE AMUSE feels its ethically/morally okay to charge customers $3,500-$4,500 PLUS shipping for something that isnt worth it? This looks better, made better, better quality material, comes finished but YET way cheaper???? doesnt make sense does it ![]()

You argue in circles and concluded that the genuine manufacturer is unethical? I will say I have never seen so many replicas sold by vendors on a forum before. This forum is unique in many ways. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 |

Okay Im envy ![]() And im just hurt because out of his WHOLE ENTIRE post, he didnt once...not even onceeeee say "nice car or compliment it or give any feedback regarding the overall theme of the car rather just single out the body kit...

First of all, your 90% copied, 10% argument is the most ridiculous comment ever. There is no legal blanket statement with aero parts. I KNOW all the people you got your kit from and the people who bought parts from them. They even try to show up to our meets / shows and pass their cars off as authentic Amuse kits next to our real customers. I love how you complain about quality and price, when you've probably never even seen the quality, care and compassion the top JDM companies take to design these products... bring them to the U.S., only to be bought by one guy who decides to copy it and turn a dollar. Yes, you have a full carbon REPLICA of an Amuse Vestito kit. Which was modified to your liking. The design was definitely not original, and the quality is questionable at best, even though it may undergo more processes (you think all carbon is the same?). Please don't make childish remarks when we just wanted to clarify to the average consumer. If you feel so defensive about your fake part, then why bother to post about it? Just enjoy what you paid for, but just let the information be out there for others who enjoy original, authentic designs... ![]() |
