Amuse kit with Nismo skirts (what do you think). Photoshoped.

cooltoy · 08-13-2013, 12:46 PM

I thank gtkiller for the pictures. Sorry for bastardizing your car.

I have been concern with how low the Amuse skirts are in the back. I have heard comments about scrapping in that area.
So I have been trying to match the Amuse with various skirts (not blades), but nothing looks right.

However after seeing this picture, I got to thinking that Nismo skirts might be the answer. I did some photoshops, please let me know what you think.

The pic that I saw:

Looks ok. I don't think it flows as well...

It's hard to beat those Amuse sides

The second photoshop makes it look good but by looking at the first and last photoshop it doesn't flow as well

I agree with both.

If I were going to swap out my sideskirts and not put the full Amuse kit on then I would look at the Stillen ones.

Arrvaxx · 08-13-2013, 02:26 PM

Kind of surprised by the dislikes. I think it flows fine.

kenchan · 08-13-2013, 02:58 PM

i like them both, but i'd probably prefer the amuse sides with that bumper.

Add the carbon signal nismo add on pieces to the side skirts and it would look really good.

It would add some black/carbon to the sides to accent the front bumper - really bring it all together.

TerribleONE · 08-13-2013, 03:48 PM

Not terrible but not great either.. I prefer the Amuse sides.

I had that same thought.

So do I, but I am worried I'll damage them in my drive way. Even if I go in angled.

The Amuse definitely hangs pretty low. Does anyone know how much lower the Nismo skirts are compared with the base/sport body?

cooltoy · 08-13-2013, 04:06 PM

I was under the impression that they were pretty close. From another thread.

So yeah, I can tell you the ride height is about the same. But since the Nismo front is longer and doesn't go upwards up front like the non-nismo front, it makes the nismo closer to the groud and far more easier to get scraped.
