Thumbs up Ings Nspec Replica review

well, not really since all I have is the sideskirts. I bought these from x350Zx and I got them shipped to me very well wrapped. probably 5-6 layers of bubble wrap. no cracks, there was a small chip or two but nothing a little filler wouldn't fix. upon test fitting them, they were a good fit. without screws or clips holding them on, i'd say it's a 90% fitment. there are marks for where the holes need to be drilled and those holes are about half a centimeter off. only 1-2 were dead on, but that's no biggie, i just dremeled it til it was where it needed to be. back to the fitment issue, overall, the kit does not need to be professionally fitted. for a near perfect fitment is within the fiberglass' flexible limits(if that makes any sense). much better than i suspected, especially with all the bad rep INGS +1 replicas are getting nowadays. right now, after install, i'd say it's a 95% perfect fit. there are things that i could do to make it fit better, but it would involve more sanding and such. overall i'm very pleased, especially at the price these were. the fiberglass is pretty thick and durable. here's how the fitment looks:

Those sideskirts aren't painted yet, right? Your car looks awesome, Like the paint on the wing, makes me like the wing more than usual. Clean.

the sides are painted, the match is a little off and the lighting kinda doubles that effect. the last picture shows how much it matches (or doesn't) to the rest of the car.

I got them from bulletproofautomotive, they're from Varis (listed as Varis carbon fiber exhaust heat shield) a little over $200 for the pair.

when i ordered, it was "in stock" so it took a few days, not sure how long it would take if it wasn't in stock though.

Another ings replica owner here.
Mine was a little short on driver side(thus developed a small crack), and the passenger side didn't line up too well.
I'm swapping them with Shine Auto amuse replica sideskirts since I'm SUPER **** about fitment.

well, this thread was started to show that not all replicas are bad. also, i'm sure you know that Shine auto is notorious for nearly perfect fitment so i dont think that's the case 100% of the time

+1
Shine has 100% perfect fitment.
I didnt mean to hijack your thread in any way hehe.
Seems like your is made by a different company and was made BETTER in this case.
The fitment is a lot better than mine from the pics
