You will always do some additional twist to the aftermarket bodykits to make it fit nicely. And some of them will make you really headache for a long term use. As for the Amuse kit, also be aware it could be a little pain everytime you change the oil.
AMUSE kit owners...oil changes? |

the nismo looks amazing, the wheels are great looking(plus they are forged aluminium so they are light), it has a better suspension set up, and it has 18 more horsepower off the lot from the factory Z(which isnt much honestly) honestly you would have to test drive both back to back and see which one you like better, thats what i did and i loved the nismo when i was driving it |

at the minimum its going to run you 7k and thats probably if you install it yourself... the nismo Z is about 10k more(give or take) then the base(assuming you pay msrp) and you get the functional body kit(150lbs of downforce @ 75mph), the rims(which cost 1k/rim brand new no tires), nismo exhaust(~1k but the one on the nismo has an H pipe not a y pipe), better suspension(which for basic coilovers that will run you about 1k give or take), sway bars(~500), front and rear dampers, and the nismo strut tower brace(its a bit different then the base/touring) if you're talking about straight line racing and living your life 13.1 secs at a time then yes they are the same but the nismo shines on road courses, it just a bit better then the base/touring W/sport, very neutral with handling in my opinion to be honest if you are the occasional track day guy, then buy the nismo, its practically a turn key race car off the lot(just needs an oil cooler) plus all the money someone would have spend on wheels, a body kit, suspension, ect. can all go into modding the engine and brakes Last edited by luigi90210; 01-17-2013 at 02:54 AM. |

I would have gone for the nismo hands down ( I think it looks great), unfortunately I felt the power didn't match all the aero upgrades it had. If most bmw's can keep up with or beat a car that looks like the nismo that fancy body kit starts to seem a little less cool. On supra's and gtr's that kinda thing totally works, 370z not so much (unless you wanna go FI ).
