Default My new look~

My forged internal, twin turbo project is finally finished. So, I finally got to test fit the following body kits:

1. Shine's Amuse front bumper.
2. Shine's Amuse CSL front diffuser.
3. Shine's Amuse side skirts.
4. Chargespeed rear bumper with rear carbon diffuser.

Quality of the kit:

Shine's kit is by far the best replica bodykit I ever bought. This is my third bodykit... Recently, there were some reports that side skirts don't fit well, but I heard that Shine just made new molds for front and sides, so I gave it a shot, and boy I'm glad I did. I'm pretty picky and pay attention to details, and I'll give 97% grade.

Chargespeed rear bumper is a real deal. It's freaking expensive... Chargespeed also fits pretty good, but the fitment is pretty similar to Shine kit.. This shows that even the real genuine bodykits need some work done to make them fit nicely.

Pics are crappy.. Sorry.. I'll post up better pictures after they get painted.

DAMN YOU!!!! I have an UY '05 coupe with a Chargespeed rear, Greddy sides AND I WAS GOING TO GET AN AMUSE FRONT....!!!

Seriously, though your set-up is hot. Now I know what the combo looks like.

BTW : With my chargespeed rear bumper the cut-out slot across the top part of the license frame was too wide. I had to get a carbon fiber frame in order to attach my license plate, so look out for that. If you do decide to get the c/f cover (which looks SICK!!!) check this link:

I will post pics of my Z for you to compare as soon as I get my camera out of my car.

I've always thought the Amuse front end looked incomplete without the front diffuser. I can't wait to see the finished product. What kind of brakes are you running? They look bad ***!

Sweet, another Korean! Haha

How much do you think it'd cost to get a 350Z imported to Korea from the states and what's your insurance run? All of my family is over there and I've been really thinking about moving back...
