Shipping for a Rear Half Bumper will be $125 to the lower 48 states.
Combined shipping:
1 pair of sideskirts + Rear half bumper .... $125 to the lower 48 states.
Shipping 1-3 full Aero kits in one box is $145 to a business or $170 to residential. Your choice.
We do in fact ship to Hawaii & Puerto Rico as well as ship internationally, so please PM me with your Country and Postal Code if you are seriously interested in a rate quote. I say "seriously" because we do have to call around for the best rates, which do take quite a bit of time. However, we do understand that international shipping is costly and if it is beyond your budget, that is perfectly fine
.
*The only way to save on international shipments is to combine shipping with fellow enthusiasts around your area who might be interested in our products. The weight of the package does not matter nearly as much as the size of the box. If we can stuff two more aero kits in a box, why not?
We've offered this aero kit for awhile now, but have not found time to formally offer it in the classified section of this board. I will post imagery of the Amuse aero kit followed by images of our replica on our demo car. We have a fresh new mold for our front bumper and sideskirts since they have deteriorated over time and have also improved overall fitment.
Picture Time!
Our version:
I'm sure there are many more who have purchased our aero kit, but I will leave it up to them to post their pictures in this section if they wish.
About Our Products:
Most of our products are made from a material we call Hybrid FRP. FRP stands for Fiber Reinforced Plastic and another well known term for it is "fiberglass." So yes, FRP is simply a more fancy term for fiberglass. Please do not differentiate the two terms because most body kit manufacturers will more than likely tell you their product is made from "FRP" hoping the consumer will think it is something more advanced/special than fiberglass, when in fact it is only a different term for the same thing.
Fiberglass is generally hard and brittle. Some parts are light and some parts are heavy. It all depends on the skill level of the person making the product; light is better. Hard and brittle are definitely not characteristics you would want in an aero kit, which is most likely going to come in contact with the ground through the course of daily driving. Flexibility aids in absorbing that impact. However, do not assume that our products are indestructible. Your OEM bumper would crack as well given enough impact.
We decided to call our material "Hybrid FRP" simply because the materials used are not conventional in fiberglass parts. The materials are exclusively formulated by our company to get the results we want. Our new products have a specially formulated surface coat, which is a flexible primer, which is easier to sand than gel coat (found in most FRP aero parts) and also adheres better to primer and paint. Careful selection of fabrics and resins used ensure that we offer a unique product our competitors claim to have and only wish they had.

Made in the U.S.A
Our products are also made right here in our facility located in the U.S, where quality can be monitored throughout the production cycle. We are not a "shop." We are in fact a real deal manufacturing company of composite aero parts for your automobile. This is not our side job, so rest assured we will do our best to service your needs
Painting our Aero Parts:
The same process is used to paint our parts as it is to paint general FRP aftermarket aero parts. However, we have a recommended process that uses a combination of flexible primer and flexible clear coat. More info can be found here.

We received the Amuse front lip diffuser (white) from Japan a couple of months ago and were puzzled about why we couldn't get the damn thing to fit. We tried test fitting it on an original Amuse bumper as well..... same results.
Not too long ago, our staff in Japan contacted Amuse and told them we had trouble getting the front lip diffuser to fit correctly. I was later faxed a diagram showing that the bumper had to be CUT on the ends about 5cm up! That explained everything. Now the problem is...... Are you guys READY to CUT your bumper to install this damn thing?? If not, then there's no point in producing it. We've tried to come up with a solution to see if we can get away with not cutting the bumper. However, we realized that without cutting the bumper, the setup would not be ideal... the lip would fit too LOW to the ground being that it's low already.
All that has to be cut is around the bottom edge of the sides of the bumper ... 5cm up. I drew a red line indicating approximately what has to be cut. It's not that bad actually. We would be more than happy to be the guinea pig if you guys are interested.
Now. What I need to know is .... Who is interested in the front lip diffuser (will only work with Amuse front bumper)? And who is willing to cut their bumper to make it work? This is the only way we can determine if there is a market for such an item.

There have been no plans for the M3 fenders. However, if there is enough demand, we would definitely consider it.
I am also not sure if it's a complete replacement fender or simply a grille attached to the fenders. I also do not know if they are wider than stock.

I'm sure Shines will make it out of the hybrid FRP that they've been using on all of their kits.
