Default Help needed with amuse side skirts =/

Hello guys, let me start of by saying I've been doing a lot of research but can't seem to really find anything I like or feel comfortable with.

So long story short I had a little accident with my Z last week. And one of the side skirts and rear bumper got damaged. So I took it to the body shop and decided eh what the hell why not take this opportunity to upgrade, so I origianally wanted to go with the chargespeed rear and amuse side skirts BUT all the chargespeed bumpers I find are made out frp and I'm not to comfortable having a fiber glass bumper so I just decided to do the amuse lip add on (which I already sitting in my garage for more than 1 year almost. Anyhow here's the real issue I don't have the side skirts yet and I don't know where to buy them, I want it to be a local transaction/sale (i live in socal) but I want the best fit I can get. Material doesn't really matter but like I said fitment does. I found a local shop that sells the amuse replicas in a material called duraflex and the guy said the fitment was about 9/10 but which is not to bad but if there is anything better out there of course i would want that.

So here is my question do any of you guys know where I can get some quality sides?? And do u have them yourself? Thanks guys and sorry for the long paragraph. To be more exact I live around inland empire/ Los angeles area.

Thanks guys

Well, it won't be local, but if you don't mind getting replicas, I would look into Shine Auto. I'm planning on getting my amuse front bumper from them. I have heard all good things and I've actually seen some of their stuff in person, fitment seemed dead on.

I would reccomend checking them out:

Thanks njvinny350z that actually would be a local buy, it's like 15 minutes away from where I live. I wonder if I could stop by their store and check them out in person. I hadn't come across their site. I like that you say the fitment is great. Anybody else have experience with them?

hey krazybones, you should ask them how much it would be to pick up the front add on for the Amuse A Spec in carbon fiber for me while you are there please!

Also for material, I know FRP is fairly sturdy, not that it would really matter for the skirts unless you're slammed....why do you want duraflex?

Oh wow I didn't really realize they were that close to you.

Their main site is :http://www.shineautoproject.com/

Some contact info:

Shine Auto Project, Inc.
9135 Santa Anita Ave.
Rancho Cucamonga, California 91730
Email: ShineAutoProject@Gmail.com

Tel: (909) 980-3433
Fax: (909) 980-3833

And no, I don't work for them haha, I'm just trying to point you in the right direction.

If any one else has any other recommendations towards side skirts, I'd like to hear them. All I really know is that Shine is supposed to be awesome replicas from what I've heard.

Sorry for the late response I spent the weekend in Vegas just completely forgot about the side skirts =D anyway thanks for the info njvinny350z. I've tried calling them atleast twice but no answer I'm just going to drive down there and see their products.

And the reason why I want something durable is because i had a bad experience with fiberglass once already. I bought a celica once with a body kit and it just kept cracking and breaking so I don't want the same to happen again.

No problem. If you end up getting them let me know what you think about their quality. The bumper is probably my next big mod
