Amuse and Nismo aren't the same...


If you want an Amuse kit, buy an Amuse kit, don't be stupid and buy a Nismo and put an Amuse kit on it, lol

Perfect. So here's my first question: What is the difference between Nismo 370Z and just a regular 370Z?

Just be warned that an authentic Amuse kit runs north of $5k after paint and installation.

Also plenty of other kits around to choose from. The Amuse kit looks great, but with a lot of knock-offs, there's too many around. (website may not display correctly in Internet Explorer, try Safari or Google Chrome)

But I heard knock-offs had trouble fitting perfectly on the car?

You will always do some additional twist to the aftermarket bodykits to make it fit nicely. And some of them will make you really headache for a long term use. As for the Amuse kit, also be aware it could be a little pain everytime you change the oil.

AMUSE kit owners...oil changes?

I would have gone for the nismo hands down ( I think it looks great), unfortunately I felt the power didn't match all the aero upgrades it had. If most bmw's can keep up with or beat a car that looks like the nismo that fancy body kit starts to seem a little less cool. On supra's and gtr's that kinda thing totally works, 370z not so much (unless you wanna go FI ).
