Default Nismo V2+ings Sides VS. Nismo V2+Amuse Sides comparison shots=)

It seems that a lot of you Nismo V2 front owners are looking for ulternative to Nismo sideskirts.
After all, EVERYONE runs full Nismo kit, and making your ride look like just another Nismo-ed out Z can get very boring and bland.
Two most popular alternatives on this board by far are ings N-Spec sides and Amuse sides.
They both looks similar and both offer very clean look to the side profile.
I used to run ings N-Spec sides with my V2 and just recently swapped them out for Amuse sides, and I would like to post side-by side comparison pics of both.

ings N-Spec


Amuse



ings N-Spec


Amuse



ings N-Spec


Amuse



The ings gives the car more aggressive stance since it sits lower than Amuse by approximately 3/4inch(ings' bottom part is totally flat vs Amuse dips in starting the wheel arches).

The Amuse sits a bit higher therefore is not as aggressive compared to ings.
However, it looks cleaner and more sophisticated than the ings.
It feels more like OEM and doesn't give out the sort of cheap and 'ruin the line of the car' feel that ings gives out a bit.

There ya go~ hope this will help those V2 owners with mix-n-match dillema

thanks for sharing the pics. The new Amuse sides look good.

Do you think the Ings rear would look ok with them?

Amuse.......The INGS looks way too big and make the car look lower then it is so if you wanted to lower it some more you probably couldn't because of how close the skirt is too the ground.

They should look ok with the Amuse. The ings rear doesn't actually sit too low anyway.

Nice comparo. I think the Amuse looks better, more understated.

amuse has a much better fit that blends into the body better, looks more expensive and less like a cheap rice knock of skirt like the ings one
