Cooltoy got it right that one is 100% 40th.
TheDreamer's post looks like dark grey to me.

Thanks!

So I measured my stock skirts dropped on Swifts (measured from the inside near the tire):
Front: 3.75"
Rear: 5"

So looks like with the Amuse skirts I will be at:
Front: 3.25"
Rear: 3.75"

Has anybody cracked their side skirts yet?
Wonder how bad it will be that low...

I dont think its the sides that should be your biggest concern. Its the front bumper. With how far it hangs out in front of the front axle it really makes it difficult. I had swift springs ready to go on my car but ended up selling them as I am having a hard enough time not scraping the bumper at stock height and I am used to driving lowered cars

no, the front is definitely not a problem
i used to have sunline front, sideblades (and stock rear) and lemme tell you... that sunline lip is nuts. it scraped all day every day. to the point where you stopped caring. The amuse is a LOT higher. it might protrude a bit more but we're talking maybe an inch at most. the sunline one was really wide to so even taking things at an angle merely meant you scraped more gently, it was unavoidable. The amuse gives me MUCH less problems.

the sideskirts are a completely different issue, they're so low that any type of curved surface you may drive over comes perilously close to the skirts. I havent driven it much (its winter) but the couple weeks i had it out, i've actually got out of the car to check my distance and if you DD the car, you'll scrape the amuse skirts more than you'll scrape the amuse bumper (compared to sunline) ... i also had the evo-r lip but that was so mild it was essentially stock (it doesnt go any lower and its only like 2-3 inches forward of the bumper anyways)

TL DR : amuse sideskirts : we scrape a lot to look good

Yea, my car is pretty low and I'm able to make it through the day without scraping my front bumper. Just gotta remember to cut...a lot...lol. Can't speak for the side since I don't have them YET :P

About how much did you all pay for the full amuse kit with the wing?
I'm finding prices ranging from $2750-3000 shipped for replica...sound about right?

Shine auto has the whole thing for $2100 before ship. And their quality is great. Don't know about aerojacket. I have the shine auto front bumper and my bodyshop guy said it's one of the best quality and fit replica that he's worked with if not best.

I've checked them out. With carbon accents it's $2500 plus about $250 for shipping.

Damn that's a great price, and just for anyone who doesn't know, all CarbonSignal Amuse parts are made by their partner ShineAuto.
