thats dumb that a person spends $1300 on a bumper they really like that no one has then a couple of months later a replica comes out and everyone buys it because its half price I say if it not the real thing dont buy it
Prob ordering an e-auto bumper tomorrow, if not I'll be ordering a shine...

as dino said, i would hold out for the more flexible polyurethane version from Shine. i picked up a replica and fitment would have been perfect if the driver's side headlight wasn't slightly loose due to previous bodywork done on that area, which made fitting the bumper a real bitch. being fiberglass, it cracked twice trying to get it to fit.

ironically, at least for the R1, the knock-offs fit better than the original Amuse. i wouldn't pay more for an original that is of the same terrible material (fiberglass), but fits worse than the replicas.
