The dimensions and shape of the ED Bumpers were out of wack and did not carry the same shape as the original. The whole front lip section is a different shape than the original and the rear bumper just looked weird how shallow it was...

With that said. OP you have done a great job with your build. I hope you can continue to enjoy your ride!

I really don't take offense or even disagree with your opinion at all. I know the real thing is far superior. I was given an opportunity to purchase my kit at a good discount (for Canada, this is important when considering import fees etc.) and was curious to see how good it would look if I made a moderate committment to making it look good. I am actually not a big fan of the 'pointy' rear bumper of the original Amuse, but I do like the way the license area recesses more and the front and rear vent openings. Overall the Amuse is far superior but far more money. Just my

I'm very happy with my kit and results. It looks great and there are no real Amuse within three hours in any direction from me so comparisons are not an issue....

Just to add, I've told myself I will never go rep kit again. Only authentic from here on out.

How does the end-state cost compare, genuine Amuse vs. clone? Not specifically asking you, madeinjapan, but anyone who can weigh in.

It looks really good man and just so you know the higher end amuse kits all have about the same install bill...the average ive heard is 6k...ps i love the fairlady z decal very nice touch

That looks stunning. Quite the production to get it to the finished stage. But it looks like the wait was worth it.

$6000 ... with their obvious ocd attention to detail, that's pretty good.

Thanks for the feedback! Still loving this kit.
