Lol I think you are right kaan. That angle just accentuates the lack of width of the doors. I guess in functionality terms there's no point in widening the doors so I can understand the logic behind not doing so.

Not necessarily did APR copy Amuse - its a universal design when creating a widebody to flare the fenders & exit the air which might create lift. Many widebody kits incorporate this.

The transition from high to low spot on the door is more tapered/slimmer on the APR compared to Amuse.

When you think as a designer, you could have given that flare and air to escape in many different ways.






yes it has gone after amuse not saying it because I have amuse

those extensions could have been very different, for instance look at j's unique design including 30mm wide fenders as well as the GT type widebody. nothing similar to amuse or other kits. some other jdm widebody designs are not similar to this style either.

apr makes slight changes on authentic parts and create their look which is fine with me, but this type of amuse fenders havent been out in market, trust me their design wouldnt be like this. designing something very new is not easy

That yellow looks proper. The curves flow well into the "stock door"
