Default amuse front bumper, do you have to get the fenders to have this fit right???

http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?m...or&prodid=1031

I know that the fenders have a little more flare so i am wondering if i have to get these in order for the bumper to line up.... I don't want to get the BMW fenders....

i am pretty sure you can get the amuse fenders without the bmw grill thingy. so now instead of selling your Z you just want to change it more?! girls...so fickle minded!

looks like the fenders flare more and the bumper lines up with the extra flare, so it wont match stock flare, in conclusion, to make your Z look right, yes youll need the fenders

those a pricey, i love the look though

Cat,
GYZ on this board has an Amuse kit on his car, fenders and everything and it looks BadAss, however he is going to sell it and go to the even cooler C-West Long Body Super Taikyu body kit. Contact him at itseng@sfu.ca. Go with the Amuse fenders, I know, I didnt like the look of them at first either, at least in pictures, but when you seen the whole kit in person, it looks very cool...

Alex

If you have to get the fenders, just have your body shop remove the BMW grill. Any competent body shop should be able to remove it especially if it's fiberglass.

ohhh, then have the bodyshop match the lines of the fenders to the bumper, that is not hard either for any competent body shop.

That's what I'm saying, they can make it line up, it's all just fiberglass.

The Sarona fenders will NOT line up properly with the Amuse front bumper without modification to the fenders themselves. This would require the bodyshop to do some custom fabrication laying fiberglass to get the perfect lines, and it would be very difficult for them to get it perfectly even on BOTH sides. So... you can make them line up, but it will be very costly...

Better off just getting the Amuse fenders and selling me the Sarona ones. J/K but good luck with whatever you decide!

i bought the sarona fenders used... so they have already been modified, as I am aware of the poor fitment of the sarona fenders!!!!

as long as the amuse front bumper fits the stock fenders, im good.

Any fenders will not fit properly with the Amuse front bumper without modification except for the Amuse fenders.

I read somewhere else that someone put the amuse fenders on with the stock OEM bumper and didn't have to modify anything.... :/

and a vendor that sell them is pretty sure they will fit the stock fenders too....

but, I want to be 100% sure! how would you know for sure?? no one else does!!

I DO know that I would rather have the sarona fenders than the amuse front bumper, so I might just look for another bumper...damnit...

All you need to do is look at pictures and see that the amuse bumper is wider than stock, thus requiring wider fenders for smooth lines.
