Looks a lot like the AP2 bumper to me. I guess that's probably the point.

Amuse R1 replica. No clue how the fitment is but I know someone with the Amuse one and it's one of the best front bumpers out there!

I love how scratched up the one in their pictures is though.

i saw one in person and it looks nice. you never know how it'll fit when you buy it from those eBay companies, though.

imo, $650 for a replica bumper is not worth it. a lot of entire replica kits (front, sides, rear) go for around that price. fitment looks good in their picture, but there's no guarantee that that's the one they make and not an authentic one they use just to take the picture.

Hmmm... The company (or at least the bumper) is located in CA, but yet they will not sell in CA. Does that raise any flags?

they probably just stole those pics from someone who have a real amuse R1 and posted it in their add. from what i have seen the replica amuse R1s out there are have very poor fitment and cheap brittle fiberglass. the motor class replica i saw was ok but the other replica i saw that was another brand was terrible and a waste of money. it will cost more to make it fit if it even possible to make it fit than to just buy a real one.
Even some of the amuse have super thin resin in areas and need work before being installed. Saw it first hand, cracked before they even took it out of the box.

I have the replica for a track bumper and this thing has major gaps around the lights. the material is also very brittle and needs alot of bracing. I got mine for really cheap but you get what you pay for I guess.
