CarbonSignal Amuse Rear installed
 

I chose to paint the Amuse rear a little different than most people. I thought it looked 100% better matching the license plate area with the color of the car. My installer did a great job matching the paint, and doing a lot of custom work which was needed in order to get this thing to look as good as it does.

Anyways, here are the pics. I need a new camera. I know they are crappy pics but I will take some later at sunset.

Thanks for looking :tup:

looks so awesome man...im so close to pulling the triger on this bumper
can i ask what paint/install cost you?

Wow. Paint is dead on.

Pm'd

Tit

looks good!
IMO you need a bigger rear spoiler now

Yea I do. I was thinking maybe Seibon GT wing or just the Mine's add on.

lol

Looks great bro! PW ftw :tup:

Do you have any issues w/ the F.I. tips touching the bumper? Mine is a tight fit w/ the amuse...probably have to get it adjusted at some point.

I went w/ a different paint scheme too...left the entire center section CF (license area and bra strap) - looks like a big diffuser, haha. I'll have to get some pics up soon.

I'm going w/ the Mine's add-on as well...may paint it PW though, not sure.

Keep it going...looks fantastic!

man that looks soooooo good, I like your choice of painted parts looks better then you would have left it unpainted in white :)

:yum::yum:

nice color match indeed! :tup:

Car looks really good in person, I don't think alot of the members understand the time & money involved in making the carbon signal kit fit like seeyabuds does. The work shows for itself, this is def the nicest looking amuse rear on the forum IMO. :tup:

Try jdm! Inb4 flame wars. Looks good though. Is it prepeg or wet lay up?

Thanks guys. Yea I think it looks better painted in the license plate area.

I want to buy this rear bumper but i live in Panama and I know there is a chance the bumper will deform during shipping. And I don't plan spending extra money on making it fit...

Was it a lot of work to make it fit nicely? what was needed to work on?

The actual fitment is great, but the bumper does require a lot of work if you want it to look like mine. The quality is there, but your installer will need to make some custom brackets. My installer is top-notch and usually works on Ferrari's, Porsches, Lambo's, Aston Martin's, etc. He just went over the top on quality. You can tell because the paint is near identical and that is very hard to do with the pear white. My installer also did another clear coat on the carbon fiber.

In the actual bumper itself, there is a part where the license plate frame is that was a huge hole. My installer created a mold from my OEM bumper out of fiberglass to fit in that area so it would be as close to OEM as possible. Not only does it look great with the plate off, the plate is tightly secured and doesn't vibrate.

He also made a custom bracket for the trunk opener which actually sits more flush than it did on the OEM bumper. I will try and get some pics of that for you guys tomorrow.

^^Forgot to answer your question about the F.I. exhaust. I have no fitment issue with the exhaust. The tips are very close to the openings but absolutely no problems. I can take a couple of pics up close if you'd like. I do not think my installer had to move the tips, but I know he did loosen them so he could clean the area around the mufflers so maybe he re-adjusted them to fit flush. It looks great though. I did some heavy pulls today and I did not hear any vibrating or clanging so I'm good to go.:tup:

I got something like this done for number plate, then it was molded.

would love to see what you did for trunk opener :tup:

I wonder how much/what kind of work is needed for the actual Amuse rear?

Thx! Yeah, I can fit a piece of paper btwn the exhaust and bumper, no rattle, but worried bout heat being so close. Dont wanna melt the bumper! Luckily I'm near Tony's shop so will swing by for an adjustment. Glad urs fits better:tup:

Looks great!

Tits! :tup:

damn that rocks!!!

Thanks for the compliments guys.

It was something like that. I will try and get some pictures of the trunk opener and plate area today.

looks absolutely amazing!

Thanks man. It took about two weeks and lots of work but it was worth it. It did come out pretty good.

Here are some pictures of the trunk opener. It sits very flush and is a lot easier to get to on this bumper.

And here is a picture of the top of the bumper which you see when you open the hatch. My installer did an excellent job keeping it close to OEM looking and clean.

Looks great! :tiphat:

Are the side skirts and front bumper still stock? I can't tell

He's got a modified S-tune front & stock sides for now

wow car looks great!! amazing work!! do you know if by doing that type of job on the car you void any type of warranty?

What do you mean by that? Your changing body pieces, not sure there's much of a warranty to begin with.

Looks SSIIICCKK!!!! if i didnt have the 40th i would get this in a heartbeat!

You could still do it, the 40th color could be matched

40th amuse would be sick, why not?

This is my front to whomever was curious. Crappy pics.

looks really good man! :tiphat: i have to agree tho... the stock spoiler looks a little puny back there now... i'm not saying you need a 747 wing, but something else would be the cherry on top imo

Yea I'm thinking Seibon GT wing like RCZ, or the VIP status type III wing.

sounds like a plan
