Just dented my rear bumper...

I backed into a car, and now I have a dent in my rear bumper. I was interested in the Amuse bodykit anyways, but would it make sense to purchase

I backed into a car, and now I have a dent in my rear bumper. I was interested in the Amuse bodykit anyways, but would it make sense to purchase it one piece at a time? I was considering buying the amuse kit one piece at a time, starting with the rear bumper right now.

Sounds like you just created the perfect reason to change to the muse.

Go for it!

You should buy everything together so you can paint everything together and have a better paint match.

It's difficult finding sites that sell the kit. I see one on ebay for 4k + $500 for shipping.

you will pay that for the real thing and pay more if you buy separately. I chose to go with UAM,s Amuse kit and really like it and the price is much better as well. And no I am not trying to start the whole fake vs real argument here for all those that feel that way. I just did not want to pay more for something especially double to triple the amount.

The quotes I have gotten for the whole kit have been around $5000-$5400 plus shipping.

IDK. From what I've read it takes about $1800-2500 to do the conversion, from a non-nismo. And replica Amuse are about that price as well.

To my knowledge an ORIGINAL Amuse is only produced in Fiberglass or FRP, whatever that is. Carbon Fiber would mean a replica.

Carbon fiber means replica. the only company that I know of that sells the real deal is 370tune.

I'm putting my 40th in a garage for the winter next month, so will probably install this bodykit around March. Gives me plenty of time to decide and save up. Amuse vs Replica?
