Default Amuse GT1

Probably a dumb question but how hard would it be to swap out the kit for standard S2000 parts?

I think that he prolly found one to buy that has it, and would want to go back to stock once he bought it.

Yea there's one being sold that's local to me. I personally think the kit looks fine but I'm too self conscious and I know from about 98% of the general public's point of view I'd be labeled as a delinquent ricer.


The price is ridiculously good for what you get. Just thought I could make the deal even sweeter by trading the kit for OEM parts + $.

I think the Amuse is very tame in the whole boy racer dept.

Now I wouldn't necessarily spend my money on it (i'd go Tamon track) but, I sure as hell wouldn't take it off

Or is the GT1 the widebody?

If it has the full Amuse widebody, then the rear fenders' OEM sheetmetal is likely cut to make room for the wider wheels/tires that would go under the wide rear fenders. Therefore it is basically irreversible unless you did major body work, which doesn't sound very cost-effective...

If the rear quarter panel was cut, you could go with a spoon over fender or ASM to cover up that arear quarter...and still be able to retain a relative OEM look.
