In the detail: I like the Zele front 'cause with it the car seems wider. The Amuse is also good but it's clearly non-stock: I wanted my car to be something like OEM, to avoid the usual people comment "it's ricey" (i hope to use the right american term). The Zele front flows better with the car, imho.
The Zele lip looks good but also it's too "tuning".

Besides for me the Nissan designers made a good work with the side, so I maintained it.
Finally, I thought for a long time whether to black out the plate area but again I think that color-matched it's more "original look".
No need to justify anything.

I personally think the designers did a pretty good job with rear also, but that's just my opinion. I think I can speak for a lot of people that think the Amuse rear bumper is far from looking OEM. Its not so much the rear or front bumpers by themselves look bad or out of place, I just think the two kits don't flow together all that well. The Amuse kit has that sharp, edgy look to it while the Zele has more of a "flowy" look. It reminds me of the Mazda design language. Adding something to the side might help the front and back flow together better. just my 0.02 cents

If your happy with your car, don't change a thing.
