yahoooo!!

i just placed an order for my INGS front bumper! It's authentic so i know it'll fit right. Does anyone have any encounters w/ INGS parts? Let me know.

it's a special order from japan, so it'll take a couple weeks to get here, but i'm still psyched!!

:p

You got the Hybrid Aero version right?

efini_8

unfortuneately... no. I got the FRP. i think it's strong enough... it's reinforced by plastic, so how weak could it be?

Mikelikes2drive

when you're already paying that much... might as well not take the risk

if it's not too late maybe u can invest a little more to get the hybid aero
live life with no regrets :D and dont beat urself up next year if it cracks

what about the rest of the kit?

I say if it's possible to get a Urethane type material, get that. The Ings+1 kit sits pretty low, and if you lowered your car, it's going to scrape. Scraping + FRP=cracks.

Btw, I use to own the complete INGs+1 kit, Hybrid Aero.... worth every penny.

Few weeks? Try few months dude! And it will need some custom fitting, even with the hybrid aero. Congrats!

efini_8

it will need custom fitting?? They said it would be guaranteed fitting. Moostafa, let me know how much "custom" fitting it requires... ::SIGH::

You'll still need the body shop to paint and install for you. At least 300+ bucks for a decent job.

efini_8

that's understandable

Any sideskirt will work with the kit... Most sideskirts are interchangeable. Veilside one isn't bad... another member Orbit I believe has that combo. Rear, you'll want to stay with either the Ings or the MS.

I have the hybrid Aero, and it doesnt fit all that well where the side marks are, bit of gappyness.

It sits low but not that low.

I have my car lowered with tien s.Techs, and I have yet to scrape after going over speed bumps and steep driveways and all.
Just drive slower over them.

But it is indeed a nice kit, congrats.

I had to grind off upper screw plate to allow the side markers to fit properly,and also in the upper portion of the front air intake so side markers would set in place but what the hell, I got what I was after in the end... :D

Yours fits a lot better than mine. I actually had to do a lot of grinding also. The front bumper still doesn't fit snug. For some reason it sags down in the front middle, almost like it is "buckling" under pressure. I zipped tied it off so it doesn't look as bad, but I was thinking about cutting a line through the front that would releave the pressure, but I'm a little scared. The sideskirts aren't too bad, but the left one doesn't meet the body properly. There is a slight gap in the rear of the side skirt. The rear didn't fit at all. Until I heavily grinded it, most of it didn't sit flush at all. Even now that it is flush, there is a gap between the rear, and the actual bumper. If you look closely in some of the actual pics on the INGS site, and the JIC car with INGS kit on it, theirs fit the same way. To be honest, I really love the looks, but if I could do it over again, I would go another direction. Probably the Vertex kit. Thew tried to talk me into it, but at the time nobody had it on their car, and I couldn't really tell how clean the car actually was. Maybe in a few years I'll sell the INGS and go that route. Thats my two cents!

Lucky you! I scrape all the time!

juikster

Man, your right about the wait time. I thought they lost my order or made an error and shipped it to some out of the way place,like ..............back to Japan!!


maybe I'll change my mailbox to a rotary in order to speed up overseas shipments
