Would you want 370z Amuse front for your 350Z? Need feedback to make it happen.
. Here's one of our cars...
Figure you'd be the best to answer how difficult it would be to alter the 370 amuse to fit the 350.
Contacted you guys first, a while back to see if you were interested in doing this but dont recall getting a response.
Only heard good things on your products so that why you were first option.
Well. First off, we're in no way saying we want/should take on the project. I just want that to be clear.
If a company is gonna do this the right way, it would be best to work off an original amuse kit. We have one for sale at the moment. It will be expensive because the amuse kit is expensive to begin with. If a company is interested in taking on the project, they should contact me for details.
The 370z wider than the 350z. but it can be done. How it will look in the end.. who knows. If you have to scale down alot... then its quite a bit of work. Selling a bumper for $399 with only 10 interested parties to start is not gonna cut it. That's only $4k in sales.. not "profit." There has to be profit to cover the project, which will EASILY exceed 4k if done right. Maybe for the front alone at 25 initial buyers.. that would cover the prototyping and mold making cost. Any company willing to take on this project with only 10 initial buyers at $399 a bumper is really "hoping" for the best. Its possible to prototype the bumper from the photoshop, but takes a very talented individual to get the proportions correct. Having an original piece to work off of will help a tremendous amount. Without the original piece... the project taker is taking a tremendous amount of risk or VERY confident in himself to make it work.

We are a full composite manufacturing company.. Maybe we can work together on this? email us at sales@cianciperformance.com
Sorry for not updating in awhile. It still doesnt look like there would be 10 people intersted in a group buy.. So I guess we can just wait awhile longer and see how it plays out.
There is obviously interest in the community for this project. If the units can be produced @ a competitive price there will be customers to buy them. However the company should not be asking the consumer to fund the project.
A business has to take the risk in producing a new product in order to reap the profit. That is what capitalism is based on!! Part of that process involves gauging interest (which has been done) & determining production costs & sale price point vs profit margin.
If a company decides there is sufficient interest THEY take the risk of production. Meaning the company should fund their first production run, and in turn sell to the market. Imagine Nissan coming to us and asking for money to prefund the developement of the next Z.
