There's someone in the classifieds that's selling the whole Replica kit with an Authentic amuse hood...

Good guy too... he answered all my questions and is VERY fair with pricing.

 

its interesting

 

Best body kit made for the z in my opinion.

 

I can guarantee you it is not an authentic SUPERLEGGERA hood.

 

It does not come with fender liners. In fact you wouldn't be able to use the rearmost front fender liners due to the design of the vented fenders. I've seen an authentic kit in person, in pieces and installed, and what you see in the pictures is really all that you get.

 

I'm not sure myself so your probably right...

 

Kwame is right last year was a boom of replicas most of which didn't even reach the buyers so I'd stay away...

 

ok just finished cutting up the hood I got for $60.

I'll have pics up tomorrow.

FACTS:

03-06 OEM doesn't not fit 07-08
03-06 OEM with inner crash frame cut out still doesn't fit 07-08

the amuse in the pics doesn't have the strut bar on.

FACT


So

I have the amuse pattern copied to the best of my ability....

The thing is the struct bar. It rubs with the strut bar for about nine inches both ways from the center of the hood. My idea was to cut a space for it and mold a mesh over it so that when it closes it's covers it...or cut and ben it downwards below the strut bar

I know most of this is unlear without pictures...

Soon

 

any update on the kit and kingbabys hood?

 

I've been in school, and doing a clutch job on an 04 Mach 1...

it's ready for the template to be cut out of it...

so maybe in a weeks time...thanks for wondering

 

how bout daytona blue? i would love to see that same picture in blue

 

sure thing man... i would never cut up my only hood but im a auto body tech so i could see how cutting vents in OE hood would be possible. would it be JUST like amuse hood? doubt it. very close? yes

 

i cant guarantee that too plus its not even a replica its an imitation and not even close either. the vents are waaaay to big.

 

not even close. look at the vents closely. they recess down into the hood. your custom vents would have no depth just cut outs that shaped like the amuse version.

 

I'm not cutting the vents out

I'm going to cut the three sides of the vent and turn it down!

can't yall see that!

 

yeah thats what i mean... you do a shape like l_l and bend it down.

 

creavtive minds thinks alike...

 

When you cut the vents and pull them down you will need to build up the sides with metal.

 

Not to add on or thread jack but can some one photoshop this kit into Laguna Seca Blue
