Now it appears that you are going to be the first to receive the kit? Help me understand the logic behind this. Thanks.
Let see it only take me 20 mins to get to the warehouse so ofcourse I can get it before you (take at least few days for you get it right?) 
I just mess around with you guys. Don't take it the wrong way.

I think the amuse kit is $750 or a little bit more from what i can remember. i have some pricing that they gave me on saturday which ill try and post later when i get the paper from my car.
I think the full kit is 1100. I'm not sure if you'll see it if you do a search, because some of the threads are quite old, but you can try. I personally can't get enough of it, i think that kit is sex on wheels!

I talked to ken yesterday afternoon, Im going to try and get up there today after work to pick up my front bumber. I also stopped by the body shop, and since they have to repaint the rear again, they'll paint my front, sides, and spoiler for no extra charge.

I stopped by Shine Auto Project, and checked out the front and rear bumber. I have to say, they do awesome work, and there parts look better looking then the original ones. I coundnt pick up my front, because it wouldnt fit in the Z, but going back up there friday with a friend and truck. The front bumber in the pictures you have seen, having the badge, Shine Auto Project has finished it smooth and no badge, and that look super clean. They had the original sides, and spoiler in the moldes so wasnt able to check them out, but when i go up friday ill check them out. Im so EXCITED, i got my body shop thats going to do the painting for me, for FREE.

Hi guys, i did my test fit lastnight. It fit great, here are some pictures of it. There is a little prep work todo but thats to be expected. These bumbers are made with the hand-laid fiberglass mats. I can take a picture of that if anyone would like to see. I am very please with it so far. Next step is to prep it, then have the body shop prime and paint.
I found this information on "Rods & Customs" web site
"Look for a body that’s made of hand-laid fiberglass. That means fiberglass mats were laid on top of the gelcoat in the molds, which ensures uniform panel thickness no matter which way the panels bend or crease. If the fiberglass was shot onto the gelcoat using a chopper gun, there’s no guarantee of uniformity, especially in the curves and corners. (Chopper guns are best used for broad, flat surfaces, like boat hulls.) It’s also harder to maintain a uniform amount of resin when using a chopper gun, and too much resin in the fiberglass makes the panels brittle."
