would this look weird?

edub370 · 02-09-2012, 07:58 AM

idk if anyone is doing this right now, but i was thinking of doing the amuse style (prolly AMS's) rear bumper with the factory front end on my z. i LOVE the rear of this kit, but im kinda "meh" about the front. in my mind this would look sweet, but i also fear it could look like i threw the back end of a body kit on my car and didnt have money to finish it off.

is anyone currently running this setup right now? pics?

also, does anyone have any experience with this VIS amuse replica kit?

suprsing that you dont like the front i actually think the front of the amuse is what makes it.

edub370 · 02-09-2012, 10:10 AM

Im not opposed to it. it just doesn't completely wow me like the rear does

nmjaxx9 · 02-09-2012, 10:15 AM

Ic. imo just getting the rear would look awkward, like a little bloated in the back and skinny in the front. (unless you are getting something in the front?) I think the kit looks good as a whole better, but thats just me.

edub370 · 02-09-2012, 10:16 AM

thats kinda what i was worried about.

Check out my albums...... with some variations, it works for me.

My favorite Amuse style is one with front braking ducts. The rest is cosmetic.

I'm gettimg the rear, might keep the nismo front, but also might change it to the stillen fascia. I love the amuse back.

There are a lot of people running this setup and is personally what I would go with. I dislike the front also.

Personally I would get the amuse rear, skirts, and wing with a nice front lip like the Top Secret or the Mine's.

I would get the CF replica amuse and stay away from VIS.

i think it was Reaper that has the amuse rear bumper and stock front...(?) check out his albums.

I've been interested in this set up as well. If anyone else has pictures, please share.

Nice car Ztoon!

Thanks guys. The first exterior mod I did was the Amuse rear. The side vents of the Amuse actually lined up perfectly with the OEM side skirts.
Although I changed pretty much everything else over the next year, that one mod flowed real nice with the rest of the stock car.
