Just dented my rear bumper...

NickBaragona · 11-05-2011, 06:49 PM

I backed into a car, and now I have a dent in my rear bumper. I was interested in the Amuse bodykit anyways, but would it make sense to purchase it one piece at a time? I was considering buying the amuse kit one piece at a time, starting with the rear bumper right now.

Sounds like you just created the perfect reason to change to the muse.

Go for it!

Thanks, but is the kit really 4k? Can it be purchased in seperate parts?

azn370z · 11-05-2011, 07:31 PM

You should buy everything together so you can paint everything together and have a better paint match.

NickBaragona · 11-05-2011, 07:41 PM

It's difficult finding sites that sell the kit. I see one on ebay for 4k + $500 for shipping.

you will pay that for the real thing and pay more if you buy separately. I chose to go with UAM,s Amuse kit and really like it and the price is much better as well. And no I am not trying to start the whole fake vs real argument here for all those that feel that way. I just did not want to pay more for something especially double to triple the amount.

The quotes I have gotten for the whole kit have been around $5000-$5400 plus shipping.

Wow! What would it cost for a Nismo?

IDK. From what I've read it takes about $1800-2500 to do the conversion, from a non-nismo. And replica Amuse are about that price as well.

UA Motorsports CF and Plain REPLICA Amuse kits.

Nissan 370z "Amuse Vestito" Full Carbon Fiber Body Kit | eBay

Anyway to tell if that is the official Amuse bodykit or a replica?

007MI6 · 11-05-2011, 09:59 PM

FBNissan and Logic Motorsports sell the original too.

Skeeterbop · 11-06-2011, 01:03 AM

I would think the difference between real vs replica is more in the prep required to get it to fit and look right. i.e. needing bondo to get rid of low spots from bad molding.

NickBaragona · 11-06-2011, 09:54 AM

Hopefully they can match my 40th color well.

NickBaragona · 11-08-2011, 07:57 AM

I'm surprised the Amuse body kit cost more than the Nismo. Any pictures of these side by side?
