^ Yes. The diffuser would be touching the ground.

^ It's all good man your setup is clean as it is. Plus the Black bumper w/black diffuser doesn't look as good compared to 2 tone color schemes.

I have a question. Would this diffuser fit an authentic Amuse front bumper? Would I need to cut the bumper?
Does the original amuse diffuser require you to cut the bumper too?
I just dont want to hack away a pricey bumper. Either way I have a spare shine amuse front just in case

It should fit your authentic. Yes you will need to CUT your bumper, and the original requires it as well.

If you install the diffuser, it won't last a day... I pretty much destroyed mine in a month...

the slightest of inclines, you'll have to take at angles very very slowly. i cant get over some speed bumps now. even if you are careful, you'll scrape. at night when you cant see very well you scrape everywhere not being to see the roads very well and avoid slightest of dips even. i refuse to go to some places because i know i wont be able to make it up the incline, lulz. mine has taken a beating. if you are lowered and get this diffuser be warned. they really intended it for track use not daily use. i still love mine to death and i refuse to get rid of it but yes it can be a PITA. thankfully i have a daily beater now.

^I'm rolling on stock height and I hardly ever scrape. Only scrape on steep driveways and dips. But I'm thinking about slamming the Z and being in your situation.

stock height really helps. unfortunately im lowered about 1.5" inches all around. honestly, not lowering the car isnt an option imho, just doesnt complete the look unless you are lowered at least a little.

^Yeah man, it's in my plans either the Tanabe GF's or Nismo S tune suspension. It's either the cheap route or the crazy expensive route, still deciding on what to get, help me make up my mind. But first I need some Volks.
Oh yeah and Quintin you got your wish cause this thread is now like the Amuse FB club.

Not really when my car is by itself it looks hard, but next to lowered Z's I am put to shame. But yeah either going with GF's or Nismo S tune. What do you recommend?

I'm telling you... go all out if you can. Don't skimp, wait, save, charge, do what you can to get a quality product and install. I can speak from my own experience with many things.

Tell me about; we should make a thread just for us... Hey, why not?
