All of the knock offs are made by the same company. Regardless of who you buy from, you will be getting the same product. The service on the other hand, may not be the same.

Got my lip from Spugen, Duc is a nice guy, and he even offered free installation. By the way, the lip came pre-painted and the quality and fitment is great compared to the authentic FRP Amuse lip.

I would recommand Spugen~

Heres my experience with the Amuse replica.

I got the urethane version that came prepainted from Spugen. The color didnt match perfectly but it was close enough. If you are extremely nit picky then I would suggest buying it unpainted and get it done at your body shop.

As for the service, it was excellent. Spugen answered my questions promptly and delivered it asap.

Now when I received the lip, it was packaged well. One thing that I was disappointed with was that it did not come pre drilled. I woulda been more than willing to pay up to $100 more if it came predrilled. As far as fitment goes, it fit ok. There was a a huge gap on one side but that could be fixed with some washers, but if it had fit perfectly I was willing to pay more.

For the price you get an excellent deal, can't beat it.

What's there to hate? Beautiful California weather, beautiful California women, real authentic Oriental food, hanging out with Spugen guys all day and partying with Docofmind. What's there to hate? haha...

It's pretty damn cold here... and only getting colder.... we have the worst pho, the worst chinese food. Cooked by a few mexican behind the stove (I'm not racist, but no oriental food is as good without the real chef). I'm sorry for the blabingg. I'm just bitter about my lunch experience from this afternoon.

yea, get it from 4-ig.
trust me on this.

4-ig's and spugen's are both made by the same company,
but like 4-ig says, he will include a little spacer kit which will make the spoiler fit much better.

well, its much easier with 2 people....and a lift.

I did it myself with the honda jack and it was pretty hard to test fit it, prop it on with boxes and magazines, try to reach underneath and draw the holes on the inside for drilling.

Test fitting and drilling the holes took up about 85% of the total installation time
