Hmmm...looks empty to me. How can we be certain you actually have this with all of your PS wizzardry...

About time you got this. Familiar set up with the Nismo wing

Congrats and can't wait to see install!

I'll open it up this weekend.

That's gonna be painful... Looking at all that amuse goodness and not playing with it..! lol
Get that car into a shop and get it installed over the winter!!

That's the plan. I have a few details to iron out like bigger oil change opening, seeing if I can use the OEM DRLs, rear licence plate mount, license plate lights/reverse camera mount and making a skid plate.

I am good at waiting. Registered here in 2012, waited exactly 2 years to finally have the car (including 3 month for delivery).

I guess I'm a bit late to the Party...
Bought my Amuse kit in "Sept" before I even bought my 370z.
I got the 370z in late Oct. but my Amuse kit is still sitting in the garage.
At this point I'm thinking of just leaving it there until my Z is boosted.
Only if I read this post earlier.. I could've gotten my Boosted Performance Kit by now...
So now I'm back to saving... Wanting to be fully boosted, tune, and everything by Mid 2015 Summer. And then maybe install the Shine Amuse Kit with the wing... lol

All right, as promised:

SHINEAUTO AMUSE IN THE RAW.

Skirts. Interesting that the holes in the skirts are not predrilled, but in the bumpers they are. There are little bumped out areas where the holes need to be drilled.

cooltoy · 11-10-2014, 10:04 AM

The front.

Notice the metal tabs to hold the mesh or possibly LEDs. Looks like the top holes are pre-drilled, the ones on the bottom will need to be drilled.

cooltoy · 11-10-2014, 10:13 AM

Rear.

Note the licence plate bracket area.

Authentic Amuse pictures for comparison.

Dare you not to test fit....

cooltoy · 11-10-2014, 11:27 AM

I'll probably screw something up.

wheee! · 11-10-2014, 12:41 PM

It looks great cooltoy! You will be very happy with that kit. It looks like you could almost bolt that up without any fitting/finessing!

cooltoy · 11-10-2014, 01:55 PM

That's what they say.

cooltoy · 11-10-2014, 04:27 PM

I think I am going to use my 2014 DRLs. The vents in the front will cover the silver edging of the lights, but the lights themselves will shine through. Also the top light will be covered, but who cares if it is inside the bumper, there will still be three open. At least those are my initial thoughts.

Hi can anyone post pic of where to cut on the oem splash guard go get the amuse front bumper to fit?
