Default Amuse wing question?

Hey guys I was wondering what your thoughts were if I were to mount the Amuse wing without the rest of the kit? I do have the sport package on my Z. I know most people don't like the wing but I love it, and the next question for those that have the wing does it mount using the same holes as the sport wing?
Thanks for your feedback in advance.

The amuse wing does cover of the stock oem holes. You will need to drill additional holes to make it fit. I havent seen a stock car with a amuse wing.

Thanks for your feedback in advance.
what drew said, you'll need new mount holes drilled, but it will cover the stock positions easily.

honestly, the wing alone? that will look kind of odd, IMO. the wing is enormous by itself, and will overpower the exterior effects of a stock Z. you need some kind of ground effect kit to make it work.

I saw this on a white one somewhere here on the forum and saved the photo.
I also think it is too much for the stock body, but am wanting to install one with my Sunline replica kit, which I've never seen done and if someone has a photo, please share.

I will definitely get carbon fiber and paint match all but the top as most do (like the one pictured) to flow better with the kit. what do you think guys?

Also were can I get the amuse CF replica wing at? not sure who sells them on here.

here's one side



and the other



and here is a photo of mine. I honestly think it would look good with the sunline kit and am very surprised that I haven't seen it before

Thanks for posting the pics.

In the first photo it does look out of place. I remember seeing that photo too. I know the owner was in the process of putting on the whole amuse kit.

Lol that thing is huge, it looks out of place without some sort of after market bumper to compliment the look.

A.K.A. Diffuser and rear spats in my case. We'll see when I finally decide to get it or not
