We normally would not post about something on a thread with knockoff parts because we hope that the owner of the car KNOWS what he or she is buying. HOWEVER, it has been stated multiple times on this thread that this is a CF Amuse kit, and it is not.
We have a warm relationship working with Amuse. Their R&D and designs lead to excellent products (we just received 3 AUTHENTIC their Vestito kits in our last shipment in fact), and we want to make sure that the casual reader at least is AWARE of what they are seeing.
Amuse never publicly offered a full CF kit. They have a CF overlay version and custom orders available.

IF you want to get TECHNICAL I never said it was a Vestito, I simply referred to it as "Carbon Fiber Amuse". EVERYBODY knows this is not a powerhouse amuse vestito because this is obviously not listed in their product line or website. The description I used " Carbon Fiber Amuse" is not a term used or trademarked by POWERHOUSE AMUSE so that name alone should tell you its NOT from POWERHOUSE Amuse, vestito "kit".
Second, I was in the market for a 100% carbon fiber body kit. Unfortunately POWERHOUSE does not make a carbon fiber kit so I came across this one.
FINALLY.... I doubt this kit has any sort of trademark/copyright justification on it BUT FOR ARGUMENT SAKE lets say it did... THEN considering the "Carbon Fiber Amuse" kit consist of 10% or more design change, it wouldnt matter
. This kit comes CLEAR coated unlike Powerhouse, COMES in FULL carbon fiber unlike Powerhouse and Is not offered in GEL COAT because its CF
The term "Carbon Fiber Amuse" when used, is used for descriptive purposes only and are not meant to imply any affiliation with their mark holders. Unless otherwise protected by POWERHOUSE, that term is free use
I dont even sell this kit, I simply purchased it for myself. Our business model doesnt revolve in the "body kit" market. I find it interesting that you selected my thread amongst the SEVERAL other threads on the370z.com that almost every replica kit has been displayed, wasnt replied too.
AND FINALLY.... Here's the retail price of POWERHOUSE AMUSE VESTITO KIT
3P Kit - Front Bumper, Side Steps, Rear Bumper
US $ 3,415.51
Front Bumper
US $ 1,267.82
Full Kit - Front Bumper, Side Steps, Rear Bumper, Rear Wing
US $ 4,567.39
IF you want to discuss ethical standards then explain why I purchased an ALL CARBON FIBER AMUSE KIT which was also CLEAR COATED and wetsanded, buffed and waxed, 3-piece comparison, for a LOT CHEAPER than the 3 pc Fiberglass NON PAINTED, NO CLEAR COAT, CHEAPER MATERIAL THAN WHATS OFFERED ON THE KIT I HAVE "carbon fiber is more expensive" but yea POWERHOUSE AMUSE feels its ethically/morally okay to charge customers $3,500-$4,500 PLUS shipping for something that isnt worth it?
This looks better, made better, better quality material, comes finished but YET way cheaper???? doesnt make sense does it
