Love how the OEM hood looks in 3rd pic. Nice setup, looking forward to seeing it with wheels.

It's subtle. I didn't even notice till you pointed it out. Once you take a good look though it's pretty menacing. Like it.

Thanks alot guys!

I just have one question.. im trying to go 10.5 for my front wheels and 10.5 for my back.. you think itll be possible.

Nut_N_Much · 10-14-2012, 04:48 PM

Really nice color...

As far as the wheels, with 10.5 up front you will have rubbing on the inner fender, also I have read in this forum that 370Z front ends don't do so well on the road with wide tires up front. Issues with bump steer due to the rack/pinion steering set up these cars have.

If I can find the post I'll PM you the link..

I don't think that's an Amuse spoiler.

Dude - I love this car. I had recommended a matte purple over a year ago and got hate for it.

Glad to see it turned out awesome.

Calvin · 10-15-2012, 09:32 PM

love this color

Red_Lionn · 10-17-2012, 02:17 AM

Thanks alot guys, more shots will be posted as soon as the amuse wing comes!

But i have a question for all you guys, do you guys think i should go 10.5 width in the front and back? so basically all 4 rims 10.5

Red_Lionn · 10-26-2012, 02:23 AM

So my AMUSE wing has finally arrived. What do you guys think, should i paint it gloss black or wrap it metallic purple?

TenaciousZ · 10-26-2012, 10:09 AM

I would do a combination.

Wrap the sides and bottom sections in purple.

Paint the top flat piece gloss black.

Should follow nicely with black roof.

Just my 2 cents

+1 either that or CF the top flat piece. You can lay the black and cf on it to see how it flows with the roof.

keep it black!
