Default Plans for the car- body kit

Hey
In the uk it's very hard to get hold of the amuse rear wing. I don't know why but no one does it.

So I'm thinking of getting the amuse side skirts and rear bumper, an Evo R front lip and either a duckbill spoiler, nismo style or hold out for an amuse.

I'm not keen on the amuse front bumper. Especially the way it's generally painted. Looks like a creepy smile to me. But more importantly is that fiberglass will probably just smash and ruin the front end. I'm hoping to Wrop the Evo r lip to protect it.

Has anyone done this combination or any comments/ thoughts? Car will be getting lowered and spaced too

Nismo S-tune front lip, sides skirts and rear spats or valance. Love mine and it's OEM and fits spot on...

Any pictures? Also I need to check if I can get these parts in the uk. Not a big modding 370z scene here in the uk. Well nothing like what you guys have in the states

Just seen the front lip. Need to see it in the flesh. Looks like a huge chin. Not sure I like it. Doesn't seem to flow

There is an authentic Amuse wing for sale in Canada, but it may be cheaper then buying a new one. Even with the shipping.

Authentic amuse wing

as for thoughts, i think putting different brand pieces that flow together will look nice.
if done incorrectly it will look like crap.

Yeah, be careful with the body kits and make sure it's going to look right before you go nuts. I've seen plenty of stuff that looks "ricerish," which is a shame on a car that starts off so pretty even bone stock.

Yeah I've been thinking about the kit for 6 months now lol
Thinking:
Amuse rear
Duckbill spoiler
Evo r 3 piece lip (cf)
Evo r fang cover but depends on how much modification is required to get both the lip and cover on
Side skirts either amuse or just the black undersills

Look up member Ztoon he has an Amuse rear/sides and a Mines front lip I believe. I think it looks fine.

Were you really unfortunate enough to get "SLO" on your plate or is that some kind of vanity tag?
