Overall I feel I got a fairly good deal on a very good kit. Not the best, as the design of the ED kit does not include the bumper openings or the extended rear bumper design, but seems to have been well made. I'd say an 8/10 overall.

Would I do it again? I'm not sure.... Knowing what I do now, I may have purchased a higher end kit to get the features more like the original Amuse with a better 'out of the box' fit and less time in the body shop. It may have ended up the same dollar wise (more kit cost, less body shop) but you have a better kit in the end.

Would I buy FRP or CF? FRP is easy to work with and allows for body work and reshaping very easily. CF is a finished product, and any body work has to be performed at a minor level by a skilled bodyworker to avoid damaging the kit. The fit has to perfect... I would only buy CF if I was local to the supplier in case it needed to be exchanged for one that fit. Inlaid CF is not an issue as it rarely affects fit.
