From the photoshop, it doesn't look half bad, I'd have to see a side profile shot to give a 2 thumbs up though. Also, I still think the LX sides are too subtle for the Ings+1 Long nose.

As for Long Nose kits..... Definately FTMFW

Not Ings+1.....

@arsey51: cool thx

btw measured everything out this morning.....aaand it seems that the long nose bumper is 1 or 1,5 inch lower than my oem front with ing´s lx lip (lip is damaged that´s the reason for the change).which is not that much...but i´ll def. have to figure it out on the weekend again

@methodrn:well the vertex doesn´t look bad either...but i personally think it wouldn´t fit the sides.

after all i think this is going to be a trial and error....maybe it works out and looks bad ***....or it just looks bad

think so too...just measured yesterday everything again and it seems like my oem bumper with the ING`S lx lip have the same height as the long nose bumper (plus minus 0,25 inch, which is nothing and shouldn´t be noticable at all).

Blasphemy!!

Authentic INGs+1 Type E is baller, but not for everyday use if you have a bad driveway or bad roads due to the elongated style.

You also need to factor in that the canards are very, very expensive if you want the authentic as well as the fact that the OEM undertray cannot be used with the bumper and you will need to fab-up something yourself.

i´ll def. do it ...and sorry for adding your pic GQ...but it was the only i had with a db Z and the entire ING´S LX kit, including the rear wing ....hope you don´t mind.
Amuse would also be nice, but the front bumper is higher than the LX sides...and i hate bodykit which don´t match .

@waizzz: really???? you have to fap a underpanel??? i read on bulletproof that the bumper comes with a cf underpanel!!!!here´s the link:

^I stand corrected, that helps to justify the price now that the underpanel is included.

Jan - yes, the carbon underpanel is included. For dimensions, this will work very well with your LX skirts. The Type E skirts are the same height as the stock skirts, so the lines of everything will flow very nicely. The front bumper is 18cm longer than stock
