There are many people with this kit. *end direct answer*

*begin soapbox*Why not buy the original? By buying knock-offs you are discouraging designers from making kits. Why bother when someone can just make a mold, use cheap plastic, and steal your work and investment?*end soapbox*

$4000 vs not existing. Plus, I wonder what the price would be if all those people that bought a replica purchased the original. Ok...done...

from what i know duraflex is trash..... ive read horror stories about some of there other products.....

as for the replica thing aerojacket and shine have a nice fitting amuse rep..... however its totally up to u.... i my self have a shine kit.... it fit nice but 2 years later imma change it out since its a replica with something authentic.... if u go real amuse big props man if u go replica.... i hope u dont tell people its real.... i absolutely cant stand that.... if u go aunthentic please feel free to contact vividracing or 370ztune aka bullitproof as both of those vendors are extremely helpful and friendly

just remember "fake parts.... breaks hearts" JDM Ego
