Default Power amuse vs ShineAuto vs Aerojacket fitting ?

Well DIY you can remove the front bumper by your self, look easy enough.
DIY: Front Bumper Removal

DIY you can yourself bring the amuse front bumper to a good shop and get it paint nearly exact the colour on your vehicle (depend on your pocket )

But how likely fitment of front bumper between shine vs Aerojacket. Well they sell at exact same price. 600+175 ship. (plus 200 paint- Fak $$$)

I read somewhere in 370z telling shine is perfect fit, just like OEM parts. Aerojacket sponsor is famous enough from our website.

I feel like you're having a conversation w/ yourself when I read your post lol.

For what it's worth, from my research, people say Shine has the better fitment and material. Both are reps, so it will not be perfect -- don't expect perfection.

I actually read the opposite just a few days ago. It was a review on Shine but have no clue if there was any validity to it. However, I have bought from Aerojacket (fenders and custom wing) both were spot on.

I dont think you'll go wrong either way honestly as long as your getting it prof installed. I would go from which ever sponsor is going to give you the best deal

If you've got one of the hard-to-match colors like white, take them the whole car not just the bumper. And anything you save by purchasing the replica, set aside in case you have to pay a couple extra hours at the body shop to get it to fit just right. You may not need it, but you definitely want to have something set aside in case it needs to be tweaked.

$200 for paint on a bumper?????? I just did the Shine rear bumper and fitment was spot on. You just have to drill some holes yourself.

I have the full Aerojacket Amuse Rep in all Carbon Fiber coming my way. I will let you know how the fitment is. One of my friends is doing the work for me.

the dealer local to here will not touch custom body modifications... spoilers..fenders whatever.. but I found a guy that I think I will use for some of the heavy duty modifications (if any).

I ordered and received a spoiler form AJ, and it was in great shape..and fitment was perfect (since it curves around the hatch)... im sure there will be around 30 people who will agree when they get theirs lol.

To the OP, I have read opposite views on shine v aj when it comes to amuse kits... I would go with whomever gives the better price.. and then take it to a really solid body shop for paint/install (which will be pricey).
