Carbon fiber amuse install help needed

You might have a problem with your insurance so check with them first. As for the install, you need to shop around. I always go for thee 3 quote minimum rule and ask for cash pricing. Is it 6k if for paint and labor? If so, it is overpriced.

I hope you're right. And I will definitely follow your advice. Not painting it, my car is black and I love the way carbon looks against black. I need for someone in the Mid-Atlantic region to recommend a body shop. I've been online but I need references

even if you had to remove the front crash bar, I dont believe(just my theory) its main purpose is occupant safety. It's aluminum and its meant for very low speed impact protection for the engine compartment

or in other words it's meant to protect the engine(expensive bits) from getting a hole poked through it from a measly 20-30 mph crash...has "almost nothing" to do with protecting the driver

That's good to know. Much easier to replace than my face!
