So the questions are:
How is the fitment of Carbonsignal and UAM amuse body kits ?
Should I be aware of any hidden charges from the bodyshops?

I'm kinda worry it's gonna turn out like sh!t lol

I'm in the process of having a Carbon Signal Front Bumper, Front Fenders (frp), Carbon Signal Rear Spoiler, and UAM Rear Bumper painted, installed.

Everything was smooth fitment wise so far except for the Carbon signal fenders. The fitment on them sucked and there were tons of small 'pits' that needed to be sanded and filled.

Car should be finished in a week, I'll post up some picks, I'm just selecting in the process of finalizing what color I want to repaint the car.

That's because shops have done so many Amuse installs they're second nature...

That does sound cheap though. Maybe you need to go some places and make sure they understand what you wanting and get estimates. Also let them know before hand that if something is not right there will be extra cost. Such as paint not matching close enough.

Cool! Another local Z'er.

Is the body shop going to paint the engine bay as well? Can't wait to see the finished product.
