Sorry guys. Been extremely setting up the new facility for operation. Will get to emails and pms as fast as I can. Once again I apologize for the delays. The move put us at a big halt, but we'll be able to operate more efficiently and effectively with the new facility.

Review the following text from the manufacturer:
"Not too long ago, our staff in Japan contacted Amuse and told them we had trouble getting the front lip diffuser to fit correctly. I was later faxed a diagram showing that the bumper had to be CUT on the ends about 5cm up! That explained everything. Now the problem is...... Are you guys READY to CUT your bumper to install this damn thing?? If not, then there's no point in producing it. We've tried to come up with a solution to see if we can get away with not cutting the bumper. However, we realized that without cutting the bumper, the setup would not be ideal... the lip would fit too LOW to the ground being that it's low already. "
I am including pics of the bumper with difusser:
This is a pic showing the cut to be made:
Searhc this forum; there are pics of the cut.

Just want to let people know my bodyshop & I were brainstorming on the repairs to my Z. They were VERY reluctant to cut the bumper to install the diffuser, but finally did and it came out GREAT!!
In the course of discussing installation we came up with what I think is a really good idea. One issue with the Amuse bumper/diffuser is that you are required to remove the front end to change motor oil. Not a major problem, but a PITB.
We came up with the idea to mount the diffuser unit to the bumper then CUT THE DIFFUSER OFF. The cuts were done as shown in the following pics ( RED LINES). Once the diffuser was mounted we traced a line from where the bumper overlapped the diffuser beginning at the left side of the diffuser across to the right side. CutS were then made straight down the diffuser. this creates TWO pieces; BUMPER / LIP & DiIFFUSER.
This will allow people to CHANGE OIL WITHOUT REMOVING THE FRONT BUMPER.
^The red lines show where the cuts were made. The top line followed the curvature of the bumper where it overlapped the diffuser
^This pic shows a frontal view. Again the red lines show where cuts were made.
Hoep this is helpful.
