Amuse replica kit from my local
 
There's a local workshop in my area that can get the amuse replica kit.

I just want some of your opinions on the quality of this kit, if it's good or bad.

If you look closely the kit doesnt have the vents like the other replicas have.
It also looks like the nose of the front bumper looks shorter and same goes for the rear.

Would you say this kit is worth buying? Or better off buying from another replica company.

As with any replica you risk fit meant issues that could eat up a lot of the money saved. Looking at the pictures that kit looks awful. There are much nicer replicas out there if that is your only option. If you could eventually save up for the real deal that is what I would do. I have been down both paths with this car.

You could send me pictures of that crap all day and I still wouldn't buy it. Just to name a few flaws, the top corners of the bumper that rest under the hatch are curled up, the skirts are not complete they should be a lot wider under the car, the front bumper does not have the built in diffuser.

1. How much the way it is?
2. How much installed?
3. Can you see any other Amuse kit they installed?

AMS/VIS kit, don't do it.
Read my posts towards the bottom of the link.

The skirts glue on over stock ones.

By the time you pay a body shop enough to make that peice of **** fit right, you could have bought the authentic kit.

Jasonle 02-11-2014 12:16 PM

Shine auto.

cooltoy 02-11-2014 12:17 PM

Contact member wheee!. He is having this kit installed right now.

Looks cheap. No Vents either. Stock looks better than those body pieces.

KaienZ34 02-11-2014 01:54 PM

Plus even if it fit ok, it's not as defined or pronounced as the real kit or one of the good reps. I've seen almost all of them (this one, authentic amuse and CS/shine auto, haven't seen areojacket in person) in the same day at zdayz and this kit made me not want the amuse at all, until I saw the real deal and the CS/shine auto replicas.

kaien, you are saying that CarbonSignal and Shine Aito look very similar and good quality as the Amuse?

ShineAuto does now and has always made the Amuse kit for Carbon Signal here in the good ol US of A. :tup: Yes very high quality fit and finish from what I've seen in person and been told by many.

RafPR 02-11-2014 07:27 PM

Thanks buddy!!!! I am considering buy Shine Auto Amuse replica + AeroJacket vented fenders... The only thing I still considering, is the high wing rear spoiler (too high).... I like more the OEM and or the AeroJacket type 3 wing.... But, that's my opinion about the rear spoiler.

Any idea or suggestion, is more than welcome.

Thanks again Kaien!!!

OP...hit up these guys: Welcome to ZOOM GARAGE.

They are authorized dealers in Australia for Aero Jacket (and Fly1 Motorsports).

cooltoy 02-11-2014 07:46 PM

Nice.

Did not see he was an Aussie.

Nice looking spoiler!!!!!

You need to send the oem, for them to do that, right?

KaienZ34 02-11-2014 08:18 PM

No it just slips on over your stock sport spoiler, takes less than 3 mins.

No vents
 
Looks like the vents are not real/cutout...front and rear
