Amuse replica kit from my local

kz34wa · 02-11-2014, 07:09 AM

There's a local workshop in my area that can get the amuse replica kit.

I just want some of your opinions on the quality of this kit, if it's good or bad.

If you look closely the kit doesnt have the vents like the other replicas have.
It also looks like the nose of the front bumper looks shorter and same goes for the rear.

Would you say this kit is worth buying? Or better off buying from another replica company.

As with any replica you risk fit meant issues that could eat up a lot of the money saved. Looking at the pictures that kit looks awful. There are much nicer replicas out there if that is your only option. If you could eventually save up for the real deal that is what I would do. I have been down both paths with this car.

heres some more pictures that the workshop sent me.

You could send me pictures of that crap all day and I still wouldn't buy it. Just to name a few flaws, the top corners of the bumper that rest under the hatch are curled up, the skirts are not complete they should be a lot wider under the car, the front bumper does not have the built in diffuser.

1. How much the way it is?
2. How much installed?
3. Can you see any other Amuse kit they installed?

AMS/VIS kit, don't do it.

The skirts glue on over stock ones.

By the time you pay a body shop enough to make that peice of **** fit right, you could have bought the authentic kit.
