Default Mixing and matching

I am planning on gettin a kit for my z. I like the greddy, but i also like the Ings Full kit. I've used to search button, and couldnt really find this combo.. But did anyone use this combo before. I plan on getting the Ings Bumber, with the greddy sides and rear, and maybe use the ings half rear to somewhat match the front bumper.. what yall think of that combo?
thanks in advance

its all about taste but your mixing styles that are opposites. the ings kit is a very squared off bold angular kit. the greddy is a very rounded sleek but aggressive kit. i would say either go all ings or go all greddy in this case. if you wanted to go ings front and some other sides go for something very angular like the esprit sides or something along those lines. as far as rears a lot of them look the same and the greddy is a pretty good one but unless you get a full rear it looks just kinda stuck on. so id get the whole ings kit if your gonna use the front. i love the ings rear and may use it on my kit even tho im going with the nismo kit.

That combo is good. However, i would recommend to go full ings rear bumper. Look muchhhhhhhhh better. Check the zmodified gallery, i had Ings all around and the front is not that good compare to Vizage.

i mix vizage (front) with Ings (side skirt and rear) and it looks pretty good.

Im planning to buy a kit very soon, before i spend all my money..lol I love the Ings Full kit, but dont want to leave my factory bumpers laying around... Takes too much space, I like the look of the ings half kit. Personally the front is a little round for me. Im sure they got better front lips out there. I like the vertex half kit a lot. But pics of the ings half kit have got me sold, on how clean this makes my car look. I plan on going single exhaust. Will this fit the rear lip?

get a greddy rear. it is the only one that will look right with only one muffler bc it has a cutout for the exhaust so that you can only cut one out for a single exhaust. if you want a lip kit go all greddy. its the meanest lip kit out there imo

sell your stock. when you go bodykit, get the full, just don't make sense to have add-on. Look cheap in a way. That just me.

I would love to sell the stock and get it out my way.. but what if i want to sell the car later, or perhaps trade it in for a later model. Those stock parts will come in handy.

I agree with u about the greddy kit. But two of my Z buddies here in Orlando have the kit already. We all roll out together, and the last thing i wanna look like is tripplets. I want mines to stand out a lil bit more.

Might go with Ings half lip, Ings Full sides, and Ings half rear. The Ings half sides kinda looks the same as stock to me

when you sell your car, sell the kit also. The value will be more.
