Because Lexus copied Ferrari, Lambourghini?

It's what happens...

And that IS a good question, why have we seen no pics of this new color? They must know we're gonna go crazy for it.

The link posted by waaaasabi direct to a page dated 8 Feb 2010, so the kit is about 2 yrs old, even the kit from the link is slightly different to the kit in the picture in this thread.

Regarding the color, if they can custom made a kit, and even take out the Nissan logo, why couldn't they paint the car in their custom color??

mmm.... true, what I think is if they have to copy the design from another design which is already a copy from another design.... I rather they don't put in any "design".....

I understand, but everything now-a-days is a copy of someone elses idea. There are very few things left that could geniuinely be called 'original'. Kinda sad...

I just think it's nice to see the Z with something 'non-standard' instead of designed.

I like the kit too, even the back end looks nice, only turn off by the tri-exhaust...

Interesting though, the kit is from 2010, but don't really see it in North America, maybe they don't release it outside Japan...

No, there's a thread about it somewhere on here. It wasn't welcomed by the public too well


I think the kit has a lot of flaws, and suffers from the same effect the Amuse kit has on the Z making it look 2ft longer which makes it completely unappealing from the side profile. (imo)
