EVERYBODY knows this is not a powerhouse amuse vestito because this is obviously not listed in their product line or website. The description I used " Carbon Fiber Amuse" is not a term used or trademarked by POWERHOUSE AMUSE so that name alone should tell you its NOT from POWERHOUSE Amuse, vestito "kit".


Second, I was in the market for a 100% carbon fiber body kit. Unfortunately POWERHOUSE does not make a carbon fiber kit so I came across this one.

FINALLY.... I doubt this kit has any sort of trademark/copyright justification on it BUT FOR ARGUMENT SAKE lets say it did... THEN considering the "Carbon Fiber Amuse" kit consist of 10% or more design change, it wouldnt matter ;). This kit comes CLEAR coated unlike Powerhouse, COMES in FULL carbon fiber unlike Powerhouse and Is not offered in GEL COAT because its CF :)

The term "Carbon Fiber Amuse" when used, is used for descriptive purposes only and are not meant to imply any affiliation with their mark holders. Unless otherwise protected by POWERHOUSE, that term is free use ;)

I dont even sell this kit, I simply purchased it for myself. Our business model doesnt revolve in the "body kit" market. I find it interesting that you selected my thread amongst the SEVERAL other threads on the370z.com that almost every replica kit has been displayed, wasnt replied too. :icon14:


AND FINALLY.... Here's the retail price of POWERHOUSE AMUSE VESTITO KIT

3P Kit - Front Bumper, Side Steps, Rear Bumper
US $ 3,415.51


Front Bumper
US $ 1,267.82


Full Kit - Front Bumper, Side Steps, Rear Bumper, Rear Wing
US $ 4,567.39


IF you want to discuss ethical standards then explain why I purchased an ALL CARBON FIBER AMUSE KIT which was also CLEAR COATED and wetsanded, buffed and waxed, 3-piece comparison, for a LOT CHEAPER than the 3 pc Fiberglass NON PAINTED, NO CLEAR COAT, CHEAPER MATERIAL THAN WHATS OFFERED ON THE KIT I HAVE "carbon fiber is more expensive" but yea POWERHOUSE AMUSE feels its ethically/morally okay to charge customers $3,500-$4,500 PLUS shipping for something that isnt worth it?

This looks better, made better, better quality material, comes finished but YET way cheaper???? doesnt make sense does it ;)

What a load of ******** lol.

You argue in circles and concluded that the genuine manufacturer is unethical?

I will say I have never seen so many replicas sold by vendors on a forum before. This forum is unique in many ways.

I never insulted a customer? It's against my standards. Unlike you posting people's personal info like on my350z... Why don't you take the my350z drama back to where it belongs on my350z and allow billet to have his thread back!

Back on topic!

I can tell you this, I have never witnessed him steal his customers money. I also understand that sometimes things happen, shipping company may damage a part and etc but he corrects the problem and helps out. You can attack him for failure to reply to post in a timely manner, or awful customer service or you could even hate what his business model represents but YOU HAVE never been a victim of his and you tend to make it appear that he stole something from you.

I recall a certain wheel manufacturer that disappeared, stole members monies, and never presented the customer with wheels... That's messed up...

You however make Bullitt " and yes I want to keep typing Billet lol" sound like a person with the description i listed above. No member on here is a victim of his and unless you lost money or waiting on parts then I have no idea why you would hate the guy..


AND NOBODY BETTER GET MY THREAD DELETED CAUSE YOU CAN :gtfo2: RIGHT NOW LOL

Oh a side note: We are thinking of doing a carbon fiber sink for a bathroom :yum:

Oh wow billet370! This is amazing. First car I have seen that is almost all carbon fiber and you pull it off very well!
I apologize beforehand if this has been posted, but is there a significant weight reduction compared to the OEM body?

Your sig should say "getting replicas are the coolest, all the kids are doing it".

First of all, your 90% copied, 10% argument is the most ridiculous comment ever. There is no legal blanket statement with aero parts. I KNOW all the people you got your kit from and the people who bought parts from them. They even try to show up to our meets / shows and pass their cars off as authentic Amuse kits next to our real customers.

I love how you complain about quality and price, when you've probably never even seen the quality, care and compassion the top JDM companies take to design these products... bring them to the U.S., only to be bought by one guy who decides to copy it and turn a dollar.

Yes, you have a full carbon REPLICA of an Amuse Vestito kit. Which was modified to your liking. The design was definitely not original, and the quality is questionable at best, even though it may undergo more processes (you think all carbon is the same?).

Please don't make childish remarks when we just wanted to clarify to the average consumer. If you feel so defensive about your fake part, then why bother to post about it? Just enjoy what you paid for, but just let the information be out there for others who enjoy original, authentic designs... :tup:

Ahhh excuse you, your original post was nothing but a bash post. SECOND, the 10% and etc was purposely posted because you, considering you just mentioned that "aero parts have no legal blank", decide to turn this into a replica bashing thread when all this thread resembles is a updated blog about MY CAR. No promotions of business whats so ever HOWEVER you decide to bring in nonsense comments. Nobody is attempting to make a "QUICK BUCK" as you referenced it.... POWERHOUSE AMUSE simply DOES NOT MAKE an ALL CARBON FIBER KIT. I find it surprising that a REPLICA company made an all carbon fiber amuse kit rather than the original company.

Your company SELLS REPLICA mirror caps and side pillars... THOSE ARE EXACT REPLICAS of NISSAN design... GO BASH YoUR SELF:ugh2::bowrofl:

hypocrite.


PS: All these carbon fiber HATCHES and OEM Carbon Fiber HOODS and Carbon Fiber DOORS are replicas of original designs but yet you don't seem to have an issue with those. If you decide to use MATERIAL being the difference in your stance with this argument, then your absolutely crazy because thats exactly what your accusing me of doing :p

Finally, Anyway you argue this I will win. I do this for a LIVING, true full time LIVING, "Arguing". Your company site sells replica parts but yet your bashing me. Why dont I go bash your company for selling OEM style carbon fiber parts???? Your doing it to me in my VISUAL THREAD so why cant i do it in every thread you create to sale a product?? Only fair? right ;)
Dumb-a$$ replicated hater :gtfo2:

I have a replica carbon fiber amuse kit EVEN THOUGH AMUSE doesnt have a FULL carbon fiber amuse kit....So replica is better bwahaha :) I also have replica pillars, replica cf doors, replica cf hatch :)

What a mature response...:wtf2:

I liked it better when you were picking on that girl trying to start a carbon fiber business. :ugh2:

Not sure which of your rants was more classy?

I see your point billet and I think its a valid point. If a manufacturer simply changes the material than it is not a replica anymore. So then a fair compromise would be for these other "replica" companies to stop offering the kit in the same material and only offer it in the "other" material that is not offered by the original manufacturer. I doubt this will happen but until then I think they have the right to be bashed (however not on this thread). So that would also give the original manufacturer an option that if they do not want the kit to be copied, then they must offer it in all materials such as FRP and Carbon.
