Default 350Z (2dr) Ams Front Bumper

Hello guys and gals! I traded my show car hyundai tiburon -07 to orange 350z -07 about 3 months ago.. My only mods are rims, tinting, rear wiper removal and blackened out front. I'm looking for bodykit now and (2dr) Ams Front Bumper looks great for me, but is this bumber okay to use with normal fenders, cause every car that i have seen were with different fenders?? and does anyone have anything bad to say about this bumber?

here's the pic


I think I'm going with these rear and sides and please tell if cabrio model bumber or sides won't fit my coupe


Here's my car now almost stock




Thanks

yes the Amuse front bumper will work with stock fenders. If you do get an authentic Power House Amuse bumper then quality should be no problem, I cant speak for the replicas.

oh yea also, the body pieces for the coupe and roadster models are the same.

BTW there is also a full Amuse body kit with matching sideskirts, rear lip and spoiler, if you were wondering

Authentic Chargespeed rear bumPer does not come with the CF diffuser. I'm not sure about replicas. I personally don't like mixing and matching kits because it's very difficult to find pieces that all have the same lines. If you're gonna do the Amuse front, then might as well use all the pieces.

Normally, I would totally agree with this, but, MAN, themadhatterxxx's car is pretty sweet and flows pretty well, imho, and I don't think ANY of the exterior pieces match!

let's see what we have here:
Amuse Shine Auto Front Bumper and Diffuser
Chargespeed Rear Bumper
JP Vizage Type A Sideskirts
Power Enterprise Wing
Top Secret Carbon Fiber Hood

I'm not a huge fan of the front diffuser, but it still looks good to me. I'd probably try to match at least 2 of the 3 areas(front/sides or rear/sides). I'm planning on doing the JP Type A front & sides and the Chargespeed rear.

you cant go wrong with amuse front bumper...1/3 of the members on here have it, it looks great. Only a small % have the front lip to go with it, which perfects it.

I am a big fan of the Nismo V2 kit.. No canards. Those other kits are a bit over the top for my taste - IMO

Somehow you can take a stock Z and add a blonde and it is an instant modification. LOL

Nice car + GF

I think some of you guys are missing a critical concept. It's not really about matching pieces by brand, but more about making sure all pieces flow well together.

yeah i agree. while pieces from the same kit tend to flow the most, mixing and matching certain pieces can flow well also. its all up to you man.
