Yeah my dealership is too, scary bunch of Honda guys working there. I mean they look like their nuts just dropped and the Stealership wants me to let them work on my car? No way.

Yeah, the issues I have with my dealership run a little deeper. Weird scenario involving one mechanic. A couple years ago I started dating this mechanic's high school crush. Lets just say threats to me and my car led to my involvement with Nissan Canada head office, dealership management, and the police. I actually call the service manager to schedule my appointments on days this particular mechanic doesn't work. Seems like a bit of a pain in the ***, but I can't be bothered to drive to another city for servicing. I feel like the car gets pretty good servicing now that Nissan Canada got involved. I can only imagine the notes under my profile on their computer screens when I take my car in. I don't think I want to know what it says :roflpuke2:

I like the Amuse for Stance look and Nismo for Meaty Sporty look.. and yeah someone sell me Used amused kit jkjk

Looks like the aAmuse it is. Thanks for the input from everyone, after seeing how much the extra parts added up to for the Nismo conversion, I decided to go with Shine Auto's rep. and its fitment is spot on!

I had put in my order 2 days after my incident but was thinking about switching over to the nismo and canceling that order... I live close enough to pick it up so once they said it was ready for me, I just went in an picked it up... They said somebody ordered an entire kit yesterday, possibly you?

Nismo is OEM fitment and urethane, which equates to being more durable. I'm sure thats already been stated. I do have a Nismo so im a bit biased.. lol

Oh ok... But the shop did seem like they were booked up with a lot of work. All I can say is it's worth the wait... Fitment is spot on.

I have a friend who paints out in Sun Valley (San Fernando Valley)... My friends at AutoWerks did all the test fitment for me. This is the finished product.

Yea I figured that after I picked it up... You're talking abt the cf area right? When I complete the kit and take it for painting, I plan on fixing that. Thanks for the compliment though.

FairladyZ10PG 04-15-2014 01:02 PM

^looking good.

amusez34 04-15-2014 01:22 PM

I just paid for the paint basically. He's a long time friend of my family. I gave him $150 for his time.

I think it flows just fine (primarily due to the spats behind the front wheel):stirthepot:
