Not Fly1. The Amuse body kit is really nice, but kinda too popular. I want the front bumper though.. Personally, I'd spend money on performance before looks. An ear to ear grin as it's ripping through the streets is so satisfying.

Any aero mods look goofy as hell without proper stance

Are you committed enough to get aggressive wheels and supporting suspension mods?

I would ALWAYS do wheels and suspension first, it changes the appearance of the Z massively

Then aero last

Fair responses, thanks guys!

Suspension mods are currently in the works as well, just tired of looking at that flat wide booty

Either that or this NY cold weather has me itching to build lol

i waited until my car was way lowered and new wheels to get a full kit, i felt like it would look goofy otherwise

if you do plan to go amuse, either go authentic or go with shine (best rep fitment by far)

What kit do you have in mind?
There is no rule of thumb btw. It is your car. In my case, I started with suspension, breather mods, and then a kit. Wheels last. Fitment- best is JDM and OEM Nismo. If you like Amuse or the Sunline reps and not JDM consider ShineAutoProject.com. if you want JDM, get with Bulletproof. They'll answer all your questions.

Something like this would be pretty legit...



Pretty sure that's a Honda Accord under there.
