hey guys... i'm looking at sites, and i think it's gonna be between the Ings+1 rear or the ms rear. does anyone now if the INGS rear is like the appearance package just for the sides, or if the exhaust plastic shroud thing gets replaced as well?? do you guys thinks the hybrid is worth it for the rear? i mean, i dont' really scrape the rear...

also, does anyone know any good vendors for the ings rear?

Rear, the Hybrid really isn't necessary since it will never get hit or curbed... unless you think you'll backup into something.

The Ings is a replacement for the side rears... no cutting involved. With the MS rear, once you go with that, you will have to cut things, and never look back. Or you can go with a replica rear and have an entire rear bumper replacement. That way if you ever decide to go another route, you can.

You can get any of the parts from Thew.. he can get anything and everything. Even if you might pay slightly more with Thew, you will at least get the service and attention that no other vendors I've come across gives you on JDM aftermarket parts. Contact him for the special stuff... if it's MS stuff, some of the other vendors on this forum provides good prices too.

yes outlwas, i agree with you... and thanks for your input. i think because of your guide, i'm gonna go with the fiberglass rear... i mean, the rear doesn't really scrape right??

However, for the ms suspension, the rear sits about an inch lower than the front.. i dont know why... (i have the ms suspension)

Lastly, do you guys know any vendors for the INGS... or is "rotaryextreme.com" the best one out there?

thanks all and to all>>> do you guys think that the TSUNAMI FRONT, MS SIDES, INGS REAR would look nice?? i mean, i'm doing the full mix and match here... haha

and anybody have any input on the fiberglass rear splash panels for the INGS kit? or is $100 WORTH the investment for the rears? (i am on a very very tight budget) so what do you think? and what would you do?

Heck, if it's only 100 bucks more, I'd just save up and go for the better material. But that's just me... go for the best, and not have to think about "what if I got the other one."

your words never cease to amaze me... you're right on that too.. and knowing me, i'll regret that for the rest of my car.

i'm waiting on mazdaparts.com right now... but meanwhile, so i can compare, does anyone know any other sites that has great prices for the INGS rear mudguard - while shipping doesn't rape me as well...?

thanks guys...

i'm wondering what that would look like though... i think it'll be nice... no?
Tsunami front, ms side, ings rear... and for the cherry on top, the euro lip spoiler...

yum.

honestly, i dont' think the fabulous rear is nice. i keep looking at it, and it looks very "plastic-y" and when you see it from the side... i don't know, i keep looking at it, at first i loved it, but as i keep looking... it keeps getting uglier and uglier... just my 2c.

finally, it looks like the two little grooves on the sides of the rear -- looks like a cheap imitation of the front of the 350z. it doesn't blend with the body of the 8 b/c (besides the vents) the 8 doesn't have sudden grooves like that... that's how i feel

anyone know of any good INGS+1 vendors? i'm trying to get the rear of the INGS+1 kit, but i can't find any good prices on it.

I think the fab rear looks good...I think anytime you have a white vehicle, you have to be very careful because it is easy to make your car look trashy...with any other color the slots are a black and blend in or accent correctly...with white it is a contrast overkill

the INGS+1 kit is expensive...the prices through www.mazdaparts.com is going to be pretty much the lowest you will find (factor in shipping prices)...but that is what you get for when you are buying a high quality kit...still cheaper than mazdaspeed though

hi magellen, i think actually that revolution motorsports has the greatest price. the wait is long though, i think... the price is $501.90 shipped from japan for the hybrid aero...

i dont' know if i'm gonna buy from mazdaparts.com b/c they are taking f'ing forever. i've emailed them 3 times, im'ed him 2 times, and pm'd 2 times.. still no f'ing response... way to take care of the customer right?? ::sigh::

also, Bulletproof automotive has great prices as well... even for the autoexe kit!!

mazdparts is going through a major server upgrade/website upgrade/transfer...I'm sure he will address your needs very soon...but one thing you have to understand...in the aftermarket parts world most is JDM and so wait times are insane
