Honestly, imo, you get what YOU like the most and don't let people with replicas affect your decision. If deep down you like the Amuse kit more than anything else out there, stick with it. Don't buy a rare kit just because it is rare. Maybe just buy the Amuse wing to get a different rear look.

For example, I saw an ad for the Amuse 370z and fell in love back in 2010, I just took delivery of the car in July. By now theres plenty of Amuse kits around but I'm not letting it stop me.

Sim I think the red actually looks good and slight black accenting would look good as well. Go with what you think looks best, cause in the end, it's your car :tup:

i think imma wait it out first.... i am still hopeful that a new kit comes out... we will see...

Another one of my favorites is the Central 20 kit, which is my back up if a lot of Zele reps start popping up.


i would greatly appreciate it if someone photoshopped it... :tup: speaking of the central 20 rear.. i think that rear bumper is pretty kool it reminds me of scorpion from mortal kombat.... ;) the only thing about it is its a round butt... which is sexy but i love it when it sticks outward... like the amuse and abflug rears... they protrude outwards.... :tup:

honestly i love the amuse... and i know this will sound stupid but whats bugging me is that its a replica .... if it were a real powerhouse amuse i wouldnt even be looking for another body kit :D id call it a day already lol.... but i would feel really really stupid for getting the same body kit just because its authentic... thats why i was opting for a different body kit... thats all... :tup: i like being different... but at the same time of course im putting this together carefully so i dont change my mind again because i was unhappy with my decisions...

in other news... my GANADOR mirrors came in together with my top secret rear fog... but i missed the mail man... :( ill pick them up tomorrow on my lunch break... imma do a review on them since no one has really given the ganadors much love... i opted for the non turn signal light one.... my contact was unsure what was the flashing timing of the turn signal on the model which had one... so he said just get the one with out it for a more cleaner look...i told him i was ok with the one with out the turn signal anyways cuz i dont want to many turn signals flashing LOL... after all the fender signal is already good enough for me... i dont need another one on the side mirror... best part of the mirrors plug and play baby!!!! no adjusting manually and they are convex mirrors also :tup:

What about the central 20 rear bumper? I've always kinda liked that one. The Tamon design one is crazy beautiful, but at like $8k or whatever it is, that's probably not an option. I know the whole wide body kit is like $27k shipped.

ive thought of the tamon... but holey moley.... the price is wayyy outa my budget lol

theDreamer 10-04-2013 08:14 AM

Yeah the Tamon is about 30k just for the kit, but it is hand crafted and takes 6+ months to make it, also I think they only make 1-2 kits per year for each car they produce a kit for.

They make kits for other cars, but they don't make a lot.
Low volume high price, also the rear wheels you would need to fit need to be super wide.

God that's so sexy. Yeah the cheapest I saw it for on an actual Japanese site (had to translate everything to engrish and dollars) it was $21,500 for the kit, and $6,000 for shipping. From what I understand, it's one guy that builds them by hand. That's why it takes so long and is so expensive. But omg if I had the money I'd be throwing it at him as hard as I could.

Lol seriously :rofl2:

And I'm pretty sure you've already seen the Tamon F1 CF fog light? That is also sex incarnate. $500 though... Damn this guy for being so good at making beautiful parts.
