Absolute hottest kit for the Z eva.... If money was no option this would make a super supercar foundation out of any Z. I would be concerned however with replicas and how much wind or downforce they can actually handle as the legit kit i'm sure comes with corresponding fender liners for example and all the other non visible components that are required to make things line up and fit perfectly.

Sounds about right. I paid $2500 for the kit; it'll take $1500 to wrap it in C/F + paint @ $2k.

shouldn't you be able to take a stock hood and do this?

just like the nismo RS vents that can be cut into a stock hood why not these vents

think about it

it's not spot on at all...several people here have it, differences have been outlined before. It's similar...depends on what your idea of "spot on" is I guess

there is no way to "DIY" the Amuse vents as they are completely different than what can be achieved with a stock hood. The best you can hope for with stock is an RS type cutout, where the vents are flat. The Amuse vents are all recessed into the hood
