Looks good dude, Amuse is one of my favorite kits!

Honestly, the only thing I'd recommend is a shorty antenna, everything else is spot on

Thank you very much! I wish I went with the ES6 though to be honest, the week after I bought my wheels, the NZ supplier started importing the ES6 in

Thanks dude. Nothing special about the engine bay except I need a heatshield for the intake. Next stop is polishing the plenum and a rarejdm cover

It looks really good, and great progress for such a short period of ownership.
My only suggestion would be to lower the car just a bit more. Not a lot....not even with the tires even with the top of the wheel arches...but maybe another half inch or so would really set it off. But I can understand the apprehension, with that new front end being pretty low to the ground as it is now.

Thank you very much your Z was inspiration to me getting the rear diffuser

Ah yes I agree with you, unfortunately I had to lift the car up higher to get her to pass a road legal test and she has, so I will be lowering her back down very soon
