He said its "sad" that most of the site has a replica Amuse kit on.

Honestly, I can't tell the difference between a real one and a replica, nor can anyone else.

Either way, the cars posted in this thread is rocking a design by Powerhouse Amuse, I'm not here to judge anyone, I'm just here to appreciate the design.

Rocking is a funny way of saying blatantly copying / stealing... but whatever..

I personally can't stand the replica **** on this forum. But I guess if replica parts are good enough for someone, no amount of calling people out on it is going to change their mind. Taking pride in your build and supporting original designs seems to be a lost art lately..

Funny that I see posts in the Sema thread with people complaining that probably nothing new is coming out for our cars.. Hmm wonder why that would be? Why should any company design new parts for our car when some hack company will just make a copy of it.

not defending replica or otherwise but if its cool its going to get copied regardless of how looked down upon it is.

in fact, id say replica's force the starter companies to come out with newer designs so they continue to make profit off it. all the in style design houses right now aren't even original.
RWB = fenders and canards everywhere with deep dish wheels
LBWORKS = fenders and diffusers

that said, theres nothing cooler than a full authentic mugen car, but not everyone has $30k to spend on aero for a $15k car....|

oh and my amuse just arrived today so i'll hopefully have something to post here before it snows~! <3 <3 <3

It is called competition and free market. Why shouldn't someone else say "hey, that kit is ridiculously expensive and we can still profit off it by selling it for half the cost!" ALL companies do this. It just so happens that we own cars that aren't exactly selling like civics or the FRS. Therefore, only a handful of people will ever buy it. Costs go up because they are still trying to pay for the R&D. However, if they were smart, they'd sell it for a bit less and take a loss right away and pay off the development costs to keep anyone from trying to undercut their sales.

In my mind, P.A. did it to themselves. So has half these other companies. If they want to make some money off us, they have to be competitive. When competition lacks and no one is buying, companies quit making parts. And then we sit here and complain. But seriously, how many people are going to spend equal to the value of their car on aero and go-fast parts or just aero alone? Not I.

Back to the pictures... :tup:

I took these over the weekend enjoy. :)

"Brem Mu"

hey what diffuser is that under your bumper? i must have it lol
and its funny that you post bronze TEs cuz that's likely what im getting.

Did you raise your car since the last time I saw you? Cause the car looks pretty low, you probably scrape everywhere!

Also, no front plate in Toronto? What a rebel.:rofl2:

lmao i don't want to drill into a freshly painted bumper~!

It belongs to a member here "nismo1234" :) he should know more details regarding the diffuser

Get a show-n-go. :tup:

isnt that super illegal if the cop pokes on it and finds it movable?

Congratulations. I was going to say - needs a wing, but you took care of that.

Not sure, I don't think it is movable once it is completely down. I was planning on getting one though, I'm not drilling holes in the bumper. I'll probably be running plateless 99% of the time unless I see a cop nearby.

Anyway, more pics.
