Default Shine Is Best!!

I had a Nismo V2 style bumper from shine before this bumper and that was a perfect fit. The body shop I first went to didnt prep...they didnt even primer the bumper.. just base coat and clear coat and it came out failry nice.
I first decided to get another car and sold everything on it, but i was too much upside down on the z, so i ended up keeping it. I am going with a new look. Decided to go with SHINES AMUSE kit. I like the amuse front and sides, but i dont like the rear. Anyone have any suggestions? Anyways, I'll stop talking and post pictures. Enjoy.






Oh btw, the asuka hatch isnt going on my car, its already sold, im just waiting for the buyer to come and pick it up. And 1 more thing. The Amuse front has NO WORK DONE whatsoever. No paint, prep, fitting nothing. All i did was drill holes where the indentations were and it fit perfectly!
Thanks a lot Ken-Shine.

the amuse rear is the best rear to match the front and sides; hands down!

I have the Shine V2 and "another" vendor sides, when my bodyman put the bumper he was like this the easiest job ever! Until he got to my sides from the other guy, he pretty much has too almost make me some Nismo sides!

I did ings +1 with my shine front bumper, but keep in mind it's custom molded. I think it works very well with the amuse.

i had nismo v2, ings nspec sides and ings lx rear also, not custom molded though.

yeah it did look nice. but looking into other lips..

older, but better picture..
i cutout the middle section because the car seemed like it had no exhaust. lol. my nismo exhaust was hidden by the middle part, so my friend cut it off with a dremel.

^ there is also central 20 which has a rounded rear end... similar to ings, but a bit more on the round side...
