As much as buying the hood retail in the US? How much did you pay for shipping?

 

Shipping on hoods is around $350-500. It's expensive, but it's overnight airfreight. Depending on how you're shopping, you're still coming out waaaaay ahead and getting your parts months faster than dealing with the US resellers.

Bumper are the big exception, shipping is pretty crazy. Back when shipping was cheaper, the price on one of my bumpers was just under $1,200. Again it was overnight airfreight. I'm sure the cost was unreasonably inflated, but it was the only option I had for the part and it was the only option the company I used would do. A lot of times it's better to pick up a bumper from one of the resellers due to the shipping prices. They also seem to stock the front bumpers more often than some of the other parts so you don't have the long wait times. I would have done this, but it was a unique situation and there was no other place for me to get the item from.

 

Thanks, Feezy!

 

What's the current status at Amuse?

Can the aero parts still be purchased? Particularly their Dry Carbon pieces.

 

@DutchyFutch Would know. In short, yes, but pricing has increased a lot and I personally wouldn't support the brand/new owner now.

 

Why?

 

Because of internal legal issues inside Amuse and how the new owner of Amuse got the company. Mr. Matsui isn't with the company anymore.

 

Does Matsui have his own company?

 

Can we get full context?

 

No, I can't disclose this information.

Mr. Matsui has started a company, I'm not sure what it's name is or if it's open for business yet.
