Amuse Quality
 

Can someone who installed the Amuse from t bumper tell me how fitment was? Can't decide between Nismo V2 or Amuse so quality might be the final deciding factor. Any input is welcomed. Thanks

Do you have to change the fender liners etc. with Amuse like with the Nismo? That alone or not having to buy DRLs would make me go Amuse, which I have contemplated.

Was wondering the same thing. Hopefully someone with knowledge will chime in. Yeah the DRLs for the Nismo are like $700 per. Insane

Are you buying the Amuse bumper from Amuse or from a knock off company?

Enjoy the read.

You got two choices

Pay for the cost of the real thing, which includes shipping and several month wait time. What you'll get is 100% perfect fitment

or

Pay for a copy from Fly 1 or whatever, and then pay for a body shop to chop it up to make it fit because none of the knockoffs fit perfectly

I would go with shine auto if you want FRP/fiberglass and will paint it. Or if you plan on going with carbon fiber go with Fly1 Motorsports. I have had 4 diff amuse rep bumpers, my first one was paint matched and was from Shine auto, i bought the full kit, and test fit it before it was painted and fitment of everything was perfect didn't have to have a shop modify it at all. After a car backed into the front bumper barely, ended up going with Fly1 Motorsports to replace, once again color matched. After that I got a full CF amuse bumper from FLy1 Motorsports. Sadly due to a tow truck that bumper was slightly cracked, so i got a replacement. All fit perfect, but my only complaint is that Fly1's front bumper does not have the full under shroud like the Shine / authentic kit does.

How did you deal with the lack of undershroud? Could the OEM undertray or a Zspeed undertray bolt in if holes were drilled properly?

My shine auto kit did not require any extra body work. The shop said it was the best aftermarket kit (fit wise) they have ever had to work with.


Members on this forum who have seen authentic and shine side by side could not tell them apart. Amuse is not exactly OEM quality either. And even OEM does not fit perfect.

What do you guys do for underbody on the Amuse front?

You mean in terms of protection from scrapes?

i had one of those vspeed aluminum undertray kits or whetaver off ebay, but it didnt fit needed a bigger front piece, so I had a shop cut a piece to mount to the front bumper and back piece of vspeed undertray, will be getting it powder coated to match the rest.

Yes. Basically to keep the water ect out of your engine bay

Thank you. This was exactly what I was wondering. Did you use the oem fender linings as well?

The Amuse front comes with an under-tray attached.
