Default Amuse Kit Question

* I googled and used the search function (20 pages worth of threads and posts... interesting reads)

** For members that own the authentic Amuse kit! I am planning on pulling the trigger on the Amuse kit in the classified section.

How do you mount the license plate and lights on the rear bumper?

Will the carbon fiber version of the Amuse kit bolt onto the existing brackets on the frame with no modification needed?

Can I uninstall my factory bumpers, side skirts, and reuse the bolts to mount the Amuse kit on? (plug and play)

Thanks!

There's an amuse kit for sale?

Yes.

Yes.

Fair warning, I've seen a crappy fitting authentic Amuse kit... So... Get a bodyshop to fit it, I wouldn't 100% trust the "you get what you pay for" saying

Yes, two full kits in the classified section. one full carbon w/o wing and the other is the FRP w/wing. Very well priced...

I've heard this also. If you're spending that much amount of money for an authentic kit, I'd let the professionals do the installation. Unless of course, you are the professional

I am not 100% sure, but I believe you just use the bracket from the stock bumper. Or is that only for Shine Auto kit?

Dan and I had to make a custom license plate mount for mine. My authentic kit fit great and was installed by the guys at Fast Intentions who are definitely not body guys.

Since the thread has kind of been answered. Instead of making a new thread I was wondering who makes the best quality amuse replica?

Not 100% sure,but I would think the guys at "power house amuse" located in Japan would be your best bet as they came up with the design.

As for fitment problems,I would dry fit it first to see if fitment is spot on. If it is,then you can save money by just getting it professionally painted. If not,than yes,let the pros have at her.

Asking the same question again, will get you the same answer again.

He asked about authentic amuse parts, unfortunately I can't afford those. I was asking about best quality replica. However I do see your point.

Sorry I smoke a lot. I've long since forgotten that thread. But now that I've reread it and MY responses. I'm going to quit being a cheap bastard and save for the real thing. Even my wife is telling me if I don't get the real kit she won't put her money towards a replica. This is all I want is it too much to ask
