AMS body kit (amuse style)

So I found this AMS rear bumper which looks liek a rpelica of the Amuse Vestito bumper. I love the Amuse, but it's too pricey for me. Does anyone know

So I found this AMS rear bumper which looks liek a rpelica of the Amuse Vestito bumper. I love the Amuse, but it's too pricey for me. Does anyone know if the AMS copy is good quality build and fit?

If it's made by VIS, it's probably a piece of ****.

Just save up your money and buy authentic parts instead of this knock-off crap.

Shineauto's replica quality is good which Carbonsignal is selling here

Not sure about VIS though?

VIS. What you save in kit cost, you make up for in fitment and body shop cost.

I would say support the true manufacturers in Japan when at all possible. However, I will not deny that both CS and UAM have very popular CF Amuse kits available here on the forums.

What does that mean? There's no MSRP for Amuse, the parts are imported from Japan and most Japanese companies don't choose US dollar MSRPs.
