Found on door step after work. :tup:

Less then a week from payment to door. Can't say enough good things about Shine and Ken. Great service.

Thank you. It will be a while before it goes on. Weather has finally started to turn, so she goes into storage pretty soon.

Hmmm...looks empty to me. How can we be certain you actually have this with all of your PS wizzardry... :stirthepot:

About time you got this. Familiar set up with the Nismo wing ;)

Congrats and can't wait to see install! :driving:

cooltoy 11-04-2014 10:09 AM

I'll open it up this weekend.

wheee! 11-04-2014 11:04 AM

That's gonna be painful... Looking at all that amuse goodness and not playing with it..! lol
Get that car into a shop and get it installed over the winter!!

That's the plan. I have a few details to iron out like bigger oil change opening, seeing if I can use the OEM DRLs, rear licence plate mount, license plate lights/reverse camera mount and making a skid plate.

I am good at waiting. Registered here in 2012, waited exactly 2 years to finally have the car (including 3 month for delivery).

I guess I'm a bit late to the Party...
Bought my Amuse kit in "Sept" before I even bought my 370z.
I got the 370z in late Oct. but my Amuse kit is still sitting in the garage.
At this point I'm thinking of just leaving it there until my Z is boosted.
Only if I read this post earlier.. I could've gotten my Boosted Performance Kit by now...
So now I'm back to saving... Wanting to be fully boosted, tune, and everything by Mid 2015 Summer. And then maybe install the Shine Amuse Kit with the wing... lol

All right, as promised:

SHINEAUTO AMUSE IN THE RAW.

Skirts. Interesting that the holes in the skirts are not predrilled, but in the bumpers they are. There are little bumped out areas where the holes need to be drilled.

The front.

Notice the metal tabs to hold the mesh or possibly LEDs. Looks like the top holes are pre-drilled, the ones on the bottom will need to be drilled.

Rear.

Note the licence plate bracket area.

Dare you not to test fit.... :stirthepot:

cooltoy 11-10-2014 11:27 AM

I'll probably screw something up.

wheee! 11-10-2014 12:41 PM

It looks great cooltoy! You will be very happy with that kit. It looks like you could almost bolt that up without any fitting/finessing! :tup:

cooltoy 11-10-2014 01:55 PM

That's what they say.

cooltoy 11-10-2014 04:27 PM

I think I am going to use my 2014 DRLs. The vents in the front will cover the silver edging of the lights, but the lights themselves will shine through. Also the top light will be covered, but who cares if it is inside the bumper, there will still be three open. At least those are my initial thoughts.

TaiShu 11-16-2014 12:24 PM

Hi can anyone post pic of where to cut on the oem splash guard go get the amuse front bumper to fit?

cooltoy 11-16-2014 03:34 PM

I will not be at that point for a few month yet, so if you are willing to wait that long, I will take pics.

From this post, it does not look like you need to cut anything.

See Simotas post #6.

Some confusing info there, some say cut others say don't.

I had to cut a good couple of inches off the bottom of the fender liners. There was no way there were even close to fitting without cutting.

So much effort in cutting and fitting with this version of Amuse replica.... should have got the Duraflex version; it bolts right up! :stirthepot:

Super old post coming back from the dead.
I myself was thinking the same since I have a Shine Auto Amuse Front.
Did you ever get around to making them fit/fabricate something to make them hold in place?

cooltoy 04-18-2023 10:18 PM

The OEM wil not fit on the passenger side due to the washer fluid bottle.



I bought some Osram aftermarket DRLs and the body shop build the brackets to hold them. I don't think Osram makes the ones I installed anymore, but all you have to find is something just big enough to fit into the vent. Mine are actually a touch short for the front vents, but it is not noticeable behind the mesh.
