Not a bad choice. I am going with a Nismo wing.

I don't know why, but I don't like this one too much. It is clean looking, but it looks off to me. Maybe its cause the brake colour and wheels clash, I'm not sure.

Handles need to be blacked out. Or is it the wheels? Colour or size? Hmmm?

I like the 'ol white and gold combo. True jdm. I would do white on the handles. Something on my to do list.

Amuse370z · 01-22-2014, 04:01 AM

I think its cause there really isn't a theme going on, the colour all clashes.

Blacked out mirrors, bronze wheels, silver handles and. red calipers. The shoot was taken with the sun setting, the pearl white doesn't even look white anymore...

Might be because of that funky reverse rake.

Either that or my eyes are playing with me because the rear looks a good amount lower than the front in both still and rolling shots.

On a yellow kick.

Today I learned how to tell AMS/VIS rear and front from Amuse /Shine Auto rear and front. I consider today a success.

Can you enlighten us please?

cooltoy · 01-23-2014, 12:20 PM

Sure.

Amuse/Shine rear.

AMS rear. Notice that the bump is not as deep or sharp, more round, so the depth of the license plate area is shallower. Also the side vents are not really vents, there is no mesh there. As well look around the rear lights area, not as deep due to the less pronounced bump.

AMS front. Notice the vents at the ends of the "smile" are solid as well, no mesh.

The crappy part is that everywhere they sell this kit, they use actual Amuse pictures, so there is no way to know that it is different until you receive the kit.

I am not saying that the differences are good or bad, but it would be nice to be aware of them.

FairladyZ10PG · 01-23-2014, 12:28 PM

I hope it's a lot cheaper than Aerojacket or Shine auto reps because they did a really poor job of replicating the kit. Or perhaps they meant to.

cooltoy · 01-23-2014, 12:30 PM

It is cheaper, but they probably meant to. I heard they copied a copy.
