All good points.

Although I hate knockoffs, in my case I felt I had no choice. The real Amuse lip is made from fiberglass. Miami's roads are harsh. I didn't want to take my lip in for repairs once every x weeks/months because it rubbed against the bottom of a decline in the parking garage and cracked. Poly urethane is more flexible and forgiving, hence I choose the Amuse knockoff lip instead of the real deal.

not cheap at all. But very nice. I guess everyone made their points. Things that are more important to safty ie. suspension, cage, wheels, and Brakes, most people stay away from knock offs. but on items suck as body kits, and little accesories and appearance items for their cars people dont mind as much I guess.

I have a question that doesn't deserve it's own thread.

what is the official way to pronounce INGS? Like how does their Japanese rep say it?

just like it says or AYE EN GEE ES?

I've heard people say both, same as A ARE SEE or ARK? (ARC)

Good question, also is it Ings One or Ings Plus One? :-) I've been wondering about that as well but never bothered to ask (and I own one )
