INGS LX/Half Kit: Received and Being Installed *PIX*
#101
Ray, did you also clear-bra the lip, or just the bumper? And you're right, even though the car is so low and seems un-driveable, I don't think I could ever raise it! In fact, I would consider lowering it a bit more, but hey, I'm not bold enough to do that to my DD!

i clear bra'd the lip only. then after about 2-3 drives it got chipped again. i had to have the lip removed and resanded and then repainted along with the front bumper color-matched to the car. That kit shoul donly be for show. But its hard not to drive something around like that. It looks so dam aggressive. I drove my car everywhere and got mad looks and props all over the place...but alas, it is gone now....crashed and sold to 350zdcalb.....

As much as I really like this INGS LX Sport front lip, I don't think I can put it onto my ride.
I just went to measure my stock front bumper clearence, it's about 5.5" clearence. The lowest I want would be 4.5", an inch lower.
I was seriouly thinking of getting this INGS front lip, but since I am going to drive in the winter, I guess this INGS front lip is just not suited for my daily winter use.
By the way, anyone know what's the maximum front clearence you can have with the INGS front lip with stock suspension?

Looks awesome, that pic showing the rear end kinda sticking outta the garage looks so mean. What are you doing with the empty emblem spot on the front bumper?

But I'm definately clear-bra'ing it. I don't think I'm going to drive super-aggressively, so my clear bra *should* help keep things clean, if not near-perfect!

Okay, I just realized that I lied.
The front lip corners have 3" of clearance.
The middle portion of the front lip has 4" of clearance, NOT 5"!
The sideskirts have about 3" clearance in the front, and 4" in the rear.
The lowest point of the rear bumper (near the rear wheel well) has 5.5" of clearance.
When I was measuring yesterday, I was just measuring the part I could see from the outside, and I wasn't considering the lowest point (since it curve down and inwards a bit). Just thought I'd share this so you can get an idea of how low it is! I'll edit my original post so people are aware.

you need to lower that bish some more to kill the wheel gap and get an exhaust to take away that sunken-in-the-bumper look, but excellent choice of kit btw and it looks like that body shop does quality work!!! props!

Hahha, easier said than done--his car is probably pretty undriveable. Getting over most speedbumps is now going to be a chore, I promise you that.
Pics do it no justice, I'm certain its a site to see in person..
