I don't think it will flow with the lx sides. At the very least you will need the n-spec sides.

If you're gonna do the Ings+1 Long Nose, don't half @ss it. Go all out with the the whole kit and an SBC to match.

Ings-1 is rice.

Stick to Nismo FTW.





























LOL

J/k

But back to your question, I don't think the LX sides will flow well with that bumper since the bumper sits so low.

OP try comparing two side shots. one with the ings long nose front and the other with ings lx sides i did this without asking for a photoshop or measuring and im completely happy with how my selection turned out 3 diff designs chargespeed front/amuse sides/ strosek rear though i agree some members if you're going to do the long nose make sure the rest of the kit flows with it

XM1 - here you go
your looking at almost 20 inches from headlight seam to bottom of lip. (measured straight down from headlight seam. The bottom of my lip on the ends are 4 and 6/8 inches from the ground. I'm lowered on Hotchkis springs which gives a mild drop, which is a good thing, otherwise this lip would be scraping on everything.
