Full Amuse or Full Interior Audio Set UP

Minsu · 12-28-2013, 03:07 AM

So im in a dilemma, I have about 1500 Dollars to play with

First Option: Full amuse with paint and install

Second Option: Headunit, Front Speakers, Amp, Sub, Zenbox, RearCam, and Install

Both run me about the same

If it was you what would you do?

The Kit is used lol, But in great condition its a friend of mine who has the kit, i worked out the prices and i know for sure i can get both done for roughly 1500-1600. so pricing aside. what would you do.

Go with audio. Nothing more pleasing that cruising around with some great music that sounds like it is supposed to. Body kits are nice but you can't enjoy unless your outside of your car and the defeats the purpose.

i dont think you can go with option 1 for that amount of money

If it was me.. and my plan for my Z..
I'm doing all show first, my Z has plenty of go and I'm not an audiophile,
that's just me.

My advice to you, figure out what is more important to you.

I don't ever blast music or anything, every car I've owned - stock speakers have always been enough so between the 2, I'd go with exterior.

$1500 is tight though to get a whole kit, and painted IMO.

Neither.

Full Amuse kit unpainted is over 5k, even a replica might not even run you 1500.

Well, I already have audio so I would choose Option 1, HOWEVER, with that being said, I still will not choose option 1 because ALL SHOW and NO GO = eye candy for thieves and people will try to break into your car if you park it outside. Trust me, I've experienced it first hand.

How can you get a kit with paint and install for 1500? That body kit made out of cardboard?

If it has to be one of the two, do the audio. For $1500 parts and labor, the body kit is going to look like ****.

Minsu · 12-28-2013, 10:39 AM

Well im getting the kit for like 700 haha so with 900 for paint install is too small of an amount?

To make it look good and fit right? Probably. Cutting corners on paint and body ends up looking like crap.
