OMG that looks so oem and clean, but not feeling that red emblem either. blacked out will look good but still its your car, so I respect your choice. LOVE THE CAR.

Damn nice upgrade and the color match looks great. I'm still not feeling that rear emblem..I think a blacked out oem one would look better with your clean setup.
Very good idea, I was hesitating on whether or not to go back to chrome but I didn't even think of blacking out the chrome emblem

I'll be doing that, thanks for the idea

you should look into "plasti-dipping" your chrome emblem. Im pretty sure its some kind of elastic spray that can be found at home depot etc. If you dont like the matte black finish that it comes in you can simply peel it off.

Car looks great!!

If I recall correctly, you opted for an Amuse replica? If so, how's the fitment and where did you order it from?

Nice story and pictures.

Try not to get down about the wreck. It happens to the best of us. Always and I say always keep your guard up.

I got a Shine Amuse replica. I'd say the fitment is 7/10 because I'm a perfectionist or maybe 8/10 for most . There are some small gaps near the headlights and the left side doesn't quite sit flush with the fender on mine. Then again, I've seen authentic Amuse bumpers that fit much worse so I'm very happy considering the price ($650)

When you have a chance, would you be willing to take some pictures to highlight the problematic areas?
