Thanks for clarifying that!

I like more the original amuse and shine rep, I think the depth gives it a better look IMO

The side skirts are covers too... the real kit uses a replacement skirt.

I picked up a set of stock skirts and I am going to try and have the body shop mold them together with the covers to create a flush fitting Amuse style skirt. It's the one thing about the ED kit that disappointed me. The rest of the kit is very good considering the price point.

Yeah I didn't want to step on any toes. At Zdayz I got to see a real amuse (TerribleOne's FastIntentions TT) next to a shine auto rep and an ebay rep (copy of a copy) all at the same time. The shine rep and original were identical, the other is more rounded less pronounced plus all the differences stated by coolT.

The roundness of the kit is a personal preference, I don't have a problem with that. I am just a little chocked that they lead you to believe (by using Amuse pics) that it identical to Amuse, and you don't know that you are getting something different.

Bad things happen to me in Edmonton.

I'll have my Z by then, maybe there will be a meet in Red Deer (neutral ground).

I'll be putting the kit on over next winter. Shine Auto will be offering a discount on Black Friday (Nov. 28th). I'll order it then.

Maybe illmotion in Calgary? I was there last year and the only two 370's were from Edmonton....

cooltoy · 01-23-2014, 04:38 PM

We'll have to meet up. Summer is a lifetime away.

wheee! · 01-23-2014, 05:36 PM

Tell me about it!! I am off to Ontario (course) for a month and then I'm taking the car in for bodywork and paint. I'll post pics of the process so you can see how the kit fit.
