the front end just ends too abruptly, it should be a little longer and it will look good. I dont know what the point of getting something with fangs would be when the stocker has fangs still. Why make the same thing? I'm confused. Im not sure why people said get the S-tune if I want something different when the S-tune kit is just an add-on and keeps the fangs. What the heck is an R-tune???

The Amuse looks great.


This looks great.



This is sexy




Do a 3 duct like M3's or like this S2k, or like the INGS STI. I mean, if you are going to take the time and money to build a kit, build something that people won't say "oh thats cool, but looks like stock so whats the point. "

here is the R-TUNE the one you get if u order from factory

here is the S-TUNE
There is no r-tune 370z body kit. r-tune is how nissan labels their parts to let consumers know it is not street legal.

Agree - The Fangs and the curved lights are what make this a 370Z

Oh sorry, I didn't know that the Nismo 370z is called the R-tune... What does R-tune stand for again? I hope its not race-tune.

And if you lose the fangs it doesnt look like everything else. It looks like a 370z without fangs...aka better.

Before this turns into a bitching contest, I will say this is just my opinion, you may have a different one...lets keep it civil.

Never heard of the Nismo car called the R-Tune...its just the Nismo 370...and the lip kit is the 370z S-Tune

Anyway - I think a mix between the Amuse and that subtle looking white one all the way up top would be a slick look

I am very interested in a front fascia that can provide sufficient airflow to any sort of cooler located in front of the radiator.

Awesome, yes, no fangs + aggressive + functional (flow and df) = win. Optional canaards would be nice too.

The other thing to discuss is length. I think it should be a little longer and lower than the stock bumper. To me, the stock one seems to end too abruptly and too high near the hood line. I think that will help lessen drag by reducing front surface area...which means easier high speed cruising, better gas mileage and downforce. Discuss.

I agree ^^^ If we were to lower the front and bring the nose further forward we can lessen the drag issue. Now by adding a front diffuser we can address the down force issue. Also if we were to open smaller side intakes and possibly side exhaust vents we could add to the cooling factor. but this is all speculation of course. Heat extraction hood would work very well with a concentrated center airflow through the nose
