Better than, say, Erebuni??

Just make sure they send you what they advertize.... I had a bad experience and had to get VISA involved. Try to get a kit from someone like Performance Nissan, or any other involved member here ....

The kits look nice, but its looks like a replica of the Ings N spec. So I have to wonder about fitment issues.

If anyone can give info about the fitment of their kits, specifically the IN722FB Initial-D 2003-2007 Nissan 350Z Front Bumper I'd appreciate it.

I wouldnt normally consider a replica after hearing so many horror stories, but I just cant justify spending 800 on a front bumper. =/

For around $800 I would buy a nice set of Koni Yellows and some springs to boot than a giant plastic bumper that's going to cost $300-$400 more to paint.

Im getting the rims, tires, springs, sways and struts all before I get my aero stuff. Most likely before I come home in July. Im hoping to order it all in June or so. (One of the advantages of working in afghan is a decent paycheck allowing me to do these kinds of things.) It helps to have a wife who is uber cool with me modding the Z.

If this N-spec replica has serious fitment issues, I'll just go back to my other choice, which is a Greddy Lip and sides, and a N-spec rear.

Hey JDM.. you going to NOPI today? If you do, you might run into my friend there.

I was planning on going to NOPI but I can't. I'm leaving the country next week so I need this weekend to take care of several loose ends before I go. I'm pretty upset about it.

Nope, it is a Versus kit - saw the car @ SEMA and asked personally. It is however an INGS replica...

[QUOTE=Nuki06FireZ]Im getting the rims, tires, springs, sways and struts all before I get my aero stuff. QUOTE]

Did the wheels/tires bit and have been REALLY wanting to get the APS TT for the Z, but buying a C6 laster this year and for $2k more APS has a TT sys for the C6 that is just shy of 700hp/650ft lb torque...needless to say the Z is just for looks!! Plus it's my daily driver..the SS paint is too fragile to drive everyday and the mileage is ~10mpg on 91 <~~~ on a good day!

among the absolute WORST fitting stuff out there...and I've tried their stuff on everything from Subaru's to Z's at this point

We have a local guy who tried the INGS replica....ended up giving up and just ordering the originals as they were not even close to fitting...and they would not take them back either.

Geez...every single kit I've asked about, I get a split response

BUT...that's not to say I don't appreciate the feedback

Okay, got a 50/50 split on Versus, so now I'm moving on to yet ANOTHER kit!
Weber Sports - I like the kit, and if I'm going to spend the $$ for a real INGS N-Spec, I might as well consider this kit.
Does anyone know where else I can buy the kit, besides bulletproofautomotive?

I had a Erebuni bumper on my last car and it wasnt that great. The Versus stuff is much better quality. I ran there INGS Half kit replica for a minute and it fit well.

that's how the replica stuff is most times....for some it fits ok, for others it stinks. The QC is simply not there, and that's half the reason the kits are as cheap as they are
