Default Heard of Shine Auto Project?

Looking into getting some of their products. I am wondering if anybody knows anything about the company or their products. I have seen that a few of y'all have some of their products but I have not heard anything about the fit and quality. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I think the general consensus on Shine is that they make excellent fitting replicas. In fact, when people sell Shine stuff, they'll show the sticker to "authenticate" their replica (as ironic as that sounds).

Some searching will pull up specific model fitment reviews.

In the process of painting my Nismo V2 replica now. When I was doing research on the company I found nothing but good comments on quality and fitment.

First where the hell is Ringgold GA haha I have never heard of it.

Shine's fitment is about as close to authentic as you can get from what I have seen in person and in pictures.

they are known for their amuse replicas. All the comments I have read from them are positive. Some even say their replicas fit better than the real thing haha

yup. got shine auto replica Nismo side skirts and rear addons as well. fitment is very good for a replica. I had to mod them a little. Although, if I were to do it again, I'd go with authentic stuff. I have the authentic Nismo front lip and it fits perfectly.

Excellent products. My Amuse fit like a glove!! If you catch them at a really busy time you may wait alittle, but not unreasonable amount of time for delivery.

I have the Amuse replica and everything fit perfect, except the drivers side side skirt. It was about an inch too short, so it needed some modifying. I'm sure Ken would have replaced it, but i knew i could fix it anyway so i just saved myself the hassle of having to send it back to the states and wait for a new one back and having to deal with customs.

Worst body kit experience ever.



Just kidding. Trying to change it up from all the positive Shine reviews but there is nothing negative I can say. I wish my Mastergrade bits fit 90% as well as my Shine stuff did.

Shine is great. I have their amuse knockoff bumper and its been great in both fit and quality. I'm buying another one since I recently destroyed mine when I ran over a freaking spare tire on the highway.
