OEM = 10 votes
Amuse = 11 votes....

Pretty neck and neck. I'm looking for something a little subtle becuase I'm not doing a body kit or anything like that... I just want something to stand out and I think the Amuse might stand out a little TOO much.


How much would paint, instalation and molding cost... (an estimate)


Here is my car, I just added a drop, rims, and deleted the emblems...


What do you guys think?








COULD SOMEONE Photoshop a REALLY REALLY good OEM lip so i get the full affect?

From the pic you posted of your car I think that you can really go either way. Currently I have an oem lip on my AP1 and an advantage that it has over the amuse is that you don't have to bring your car to a body shop and deal with their BS to get it painted and installed as the oem comes painted. BTW, nice drop and wheels on your car. After you get the lip you should go for some JDM clear diffusers in your headlights.

I like the OEM lip. Plus it's cheaper. There should be a lot of people on here now with one. Thanks.

with XclusiveAutosports.

The OEM comes painted already and if it doesn't you're buying a replica. The lip is relatively easy to install by yourself. If you don't feel comfortable in doing it, I'm sure someone in your community would probably help you out for a small fee (or a couple of drinks).

a decent paint/fit job is going to cost $200-250

Id go with OEM - never been fond of the Amuse myself

I just realized that the pic you posted looks like its chopped, so you either don't have that drop or those rims, or you just have really sharp looking fenders. If your car is stock then I would definitely go with the oem lip, no question about it.

NEW QUESTION

Where can I buy an Amuse bumper for the cheapest, or a used already painted NFR Amuse bumper?
