Is this an authentic amuse front end?

The guy said that it was repaired b/c of a crack and painted primer...

Anybody have a clue? how can you tell if it is authentic or not?

Fitment with authentic might not even be perfect.
I've never seen a real one in person to know if there is a logo or not. Sorry.

However, being fiberglass is the first positive sign.

What exactly are you worried about?

If you want to pay extra money for authentic parts, order a new one?

The replica will look the same...

I used to have the authentic one.. The fiberglass was alot cleaner then that, and you can see if you look closely, the lip looks kinda wavey, if you look at it in the second picture. But the real one is Fiberglass, there was a replica fiberglass one made, but it fit like A$#...
