There's someone in the classifieds that's selling the whole Replica kit with an Authentic amuse hood...

I can guarantee you it is not an authentic SUPERLEGGERA hood.

It does not come with fender liners. In fact you wouldn't be able to use the rearmost front fender liners due to the design of the vented fenders. I've seen an authentic kit in person, in pieces and installed, and what you see in the pictures is really all that you get.

Kwame is right last year was a boom of replicas most of which didn't even reach the buyers so I'd stay away...

ok just finished cutting up the hood I got for $60.

I'll have pics up tomorrow.

FACTS:

03-06 OEM doesn't not fit 07-08
03-06 OEM with inner crash frame cut out still doesn't fit 07-08

the amuse in the pics doesn't have the strut bar on.

FACT


So

I have the amuse pattern copied to the best of my ability....

The thing is the struct bar. It rubs with the strut bar for about nine inches both ways from the center of the hood. My idea was to cut a space for it and mold a mesh over it so that when it closes it's covers it...or cut and ben it downwards below the strut bar

I know most of this is unlear without pictures...

Soon

not even close. look at the vents closely. they recess down into the hood. your custom vents would have no depth just cut outs that shaped like the amuse version.

When you cut the vents and pull them down you will need to build up the sides with metal.
