Default Body kit

Has anybody out there had a AMS wide body kit installed on a Honda s2000 year 2003. Im thinking about buying the whole kit and have it installed. Just wondering if anybody had any problems with installation and are you happy with it. After looking at rear bumper it appears to me the existing exhaust would not fit the new bumper as exhaust pipes look higher on new bumper. Any conversation on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The Amuse kit? Or are you looking at the replica kit? There was someone in the gallery that was putting the rep kit on their car. Fitment was not good. For the tips of the exhaust to come out of the bumper you have to have a custom exhaust made.

Yes its the Duraflex replica kit AMS wide body design. Thanks for your input, sounds like I may need to steer away from this project. Any ideas on a nice body kit. Thanks.

Authentic kits will always beat the replicas. The amuse kit is nice but its not cheap for a real one and thats because it actually fits right.

I've got the ed ams wide body and yes fitment and quality suck. but if you have a real good body shop, they can make it look good. as for the rear bumper, i'm running a vis techno r bumper and it looks great. didn't want to reroute exhaust for the higher exits.
