there are some good sL2 pix but.....

i can't seem to find any of the 370 amuse kits on any 350's worth looking at
with wheels and lowered so I am having a hard time getting an idea what it looks like on a "proper car"

if anyone has any pix that are NOT chopped that would be awesome...
thanks for your help....

hmm...

really don't think the line under the front lip does the bumper justice...
if i went that route i would most likely paint the 2 outer areas
as in the pic provided below...

since my z is yellow and my wheels are pretty aggressive this gives me a decent idea on how it would look....

guess i will run this poll for a month or so and then make a decision on which path I want to take...

thanks for sharing the pix bro...
anyone else out there with the kit?
just front or rear?
aggressive wheels?
dumped / flush?

bikinilust - any shots from further away and rear shots?
is this the car strafe had as their fitment shots, if so - the car has turned out a lot better than thought.

Lol ok hugo.... ur rockin the sl2 as well lol

I honestly like both... but I was really impressed with the sl2 and its undertray and how the air dam really focuses the air to the radiator... sex and functional

But I wanted to get something different, thus I went with the ams gt kit

you weren't suppose to say anything lol. But the only downside to the sl2 is taking the whiole front bumper off for oil changes(ill find out when its time) since it's in the shop i'm gonna get a quote on relocating the filter all together.

Back on topic, Sl2 is nice but i fear it will be "played" out soon as many people are jumping on the kit, don't get me wrong i got it cause i love the looks of it. If you wanna be original or have a greater chance at being original get the amuse or esuma kit.

You actually pulled it off really nicely.. Post separate thread about your setup with detailed pictures. This way you'll help others liking or not liking the kit.

Good job

I didn't get the sl2 for that very reason... I think the sl2 will be played out soon

Esuma kit lol... I can't believe I called it that lol

Let's use its real name: AMS GT kit made by VIS Racing

Before I had discovered the ams gt kit, I was going to get the ings front. Not too many people have it, n it looks nice.... oh n a side note... if i remember right, VIS RACING makes a replica of this front bumper but its under some weird name, n I dnt believe its on their site. You will have to call vis and ask chris what they are calling the bumper

Honestly, thank you I would love to make a seperate thread for my "build" and trust me I have taken a bunch of pics, but people on this forum are a "selective" bunch and I don't want any hate post or all talk, where are the parts, etc, etc...so i figured once my car is done ill make a thread and every can see the whole build at once instead of step by step It would be nice though to hear opinions and advice along the way(specially when dealing with shops)

My kit is front sl2, ings+ sides and chargespeed v.2 rear all replicas from strafe, check my profile under my threads so you can see how they looked like before installed or "raw" and also how they look now. I gotta hand it to mike(bikinilust) as he hook it up with the kit and was patient enough to wait for my payment and props to strafe as you guys will see the fitment was almost spot on even esteban from auto explosion approved of it as a good kit for a replica.

Don't mind the strafe logo on the side of the photochopped pic
I made the pic as a concept picture back when I used to work for them

As for the red car, I got that pic from google images

Now I'm confused, that white Z with the Vestito kit is Hugo350z or bikinilust car?

I was complementing the job that's done to that car, regardless to the owner. But I thought it's bikinilust's Z. Sorry Hugo350z, if it's yours, then again it's a great looking car

Mine is the white car...

But I doubt I will be making a thread any time soon.

Too many haters on this sight, thus the lack of motovation to make a thread..

Maybe ill make one after I finish up my engine bay, hopefully this winter break.

Ok now back to the thread...sorry op
