I don't want to replace the whole thing, just talking about switching the fin out but I'll chill for a bit. I just sold my left n#t to buy these other parts...just fishing a bit...

You may all think I'm whacked out but when you see it done I'm hoping you'll think otherwise. I have pics going on shortly of my car in pcs!!!! YEAH!!! Rims are getting picked up now. Headlights come in next week. Carbon arrives next week, Brakes come in Tuesday. I'm worn out!!!! HAHAHAH

Ey yo you're local to me, when it's done let me know and we should grab a pint or somethin', I wanna see! Pics never do enough justice!!!

Count on it!

Maybe do a little Z meet at the house. I live in the middle of the Canyon and plenty of room for a get together. Maybe a BBQ when it warms up.

im not gonna lie i considered a rd trip to ca to to visit when i read this..
but texas to ca is a bit loong.

i would probably have to invest in a oil cooler before considering that drive, lolz

motoextreme 12-23-2009 06:06 PM

Come on down! Texas to CA in a Z, what is that...28 hours! I'll make it worth your while, like Strip joints? :tup:

Rickey89 12-23-2009 06:32 PM

that is definitely something im going to consider for the future. pending that the offer is still good.
i work in insurance as an agent and were understaffed for the holidays..works out because i get overtime which means more goodies for the car but less time to actually do anything.

The amuse kits have always been one of my favorites. They never fail to be radically extreme and stylish at the same time.

We recently found out while in Japan that the Amuse rear wing is not going to be in carbon fiber; apparently costs were too high, demand was too low, and their margin was not great. So they switched to FRP but the gurney flap option is still available in dry carbon. "It is what it is" as they say. I was disappointed at first but after thinking about it I am just pleased to see them use a material that is easier to maintain ha-ha.

Powerhouse Amuse - Gurney Flap Option for Rear Wing

We also discovered that the Amuse Vestito front bumper includes an integrated front diffuser:

FYI...we just ordered one full Amuse 4pc. kit for stock. We are expecting it to arrive around April-May and are currently accepting deposits for anyone who would like to reserve the kit. We can either distribute the full 4pc. kit, the wing by itself, or the basic 3pc. kit.

Please PM if interested...serious inquiries only:driving:

Cost to Install an Amuse Bodykit?
 
Just out of curiosity, how much would you expect it to cost to have an autobody shop to install a complete 4 piece body kit?

Would a Nissan dealer be the best place for this type of work, or would an independent body shop be the best bet?

It really all depends on the bodyshop and how much you are willing to spend. Some bodyshops will charge different prices based on the quality of their work as well as the amount of time it will take them.

I had all of my aftermarket products for my S2000 installed by a dealership (Honda Carland in Alpharetta, GA). It was more expensive than most but my guy has been doing bodywork for a little less than 30 years.

In the end I didn't care about the price because I wanted good quality and good results.

I am not the best person to ask when it comes to body install and paint because it isn't one of my strongest points (at least when it comes to price quotes)

I am confident that some vendors/sponsors and other members can probably give you a more accurate quote than I can. As we would expect from Amuse, little to no body prep is needed when installing this kit; so all you really need to concern yourself with is basic paint and install.
