Default INGS Type N or Vizage Type A

So not that big of a dilemna, but i also can't swim in the amount of money i have like some of you z owners.lol...It's quite simple, 2 bodykits, tough decision.

First is the INGS Type N kit which your probably all familiar with, i've seen them with and without the FMIC and i have to say just with mesh it doesnt look too good. The kit is urethane which is good for me hence im in a cold/warm state.

Second is the JP Aero/Vizage Type A kit which since i don't have a FMIC wouldn't really matter to me. The kit is all fiberglass which is kinda worrying me, but alot of people said it's not that bad and easy to fix if anything.

I attached 2 pictures(first - INGS)(second - JP/Vizage)

Both kits are replicas but i've been told fit the 07 and have great fitment the price for the INGS is a little more hence the urethane..

any advice would be great, i've had urethane before but never fiberglass so..

Both kits are great. Wish I had both. I have to say the Vizage kit flows a little better. The fiberglass can be a pain in the butt. Very much more prone to chips. I can tell you first hand.

I'm currently having it repainted for that reason, along with the paint match could have been better. My body guy was having a time with patching the nicks up. Has taking him a week to get it prepped. I'll have a better pic soon. The fitment on mine was about perfect, IMHO. The choice is still up to you. I sported the mesh for little while before going FI and the mesh isn't to bad. It's just the INGS is so big, making it look like to much if you had mesh inserted.

I got mine from Carisma Autosports or Motorsports. Not sure. I've had it for a couple of years now. Took me 6 months to recieve. That I don't care about. The thing is, they always kept saying next week or two for six months. There are plenty of venders here that sell it. Not even sure if they make it anymore, besides replicas.

Depending on how hard of a hit. To a certain aspect it could be repaired. Others cannot. You have to know where your going and if not make decisions weather to enter a a rough area or not (driving skills). If I do bust it, oh well I'll order another type. But your right, there are some down sides to fiberglass. But that's the game with exterior parts.

Just think, in a couple of weeks I'm adding a custom wind splitter. That will bring more issues.

I'd say check out the Vertex full bumper kit. To me, it looks just as good w/o a FMIC. If you go with the Ing's, check on the Hybrid material, that's what I have and it stands up to wear and tear real well. I've scraped it and even run into a curb once and no cracks, just paint chip.


You're right though, hard to pull off w/o a FMIC, but it can be done, as long as you don't go with a mesh that's left silver.
