Default INGS kit installed and painted

So I finally got around to installing my INGS kit on my 03 350 and got it painted! I am very pleased with the outcome. The only issue I had was the sideskirt fitment was trash, so what I ended up doing was cutting and molding the INGS sideskirt to the existing factory side skirt. Pics below!

nice body work. what'd you use to get the shine in the black on the front bumper. I had to do some body work on mine and repainted it with semi gloss but still looks very dull. Any suggestions?

hmmm. Did you use a factory paint code? Even with spacers the color combo would clash imo. Bronze wheels+red & black scheme and silver door handles, no bueno. I would suggest moving up to 19' wheels with a better offset when budget permits. The side skirts seem outta place w/out a black accent. I would suggest polishing those headllights and get rid of the haze.

Fitment looks good, difintely a little more aggresive than stock.

Heres a good example of how sexy the ings can look if pulled off right:

^^^Don't take it the wrong way br0skee, you just need to be pointed to the right direction. Happy modding

Is the hatch closed? The gap is a bit big but other than that you have a clean ride my friend!

came out nice, you just need to fix the wheels as stated before.

if it was me i would've color matched your side mirrors and the front lip red instead of black and painted the door handles black instead of silver.

The hatch must be popped. Also, are those your rear license plate light housings that are hanging down right above your plate?

The sides were a B1tch fitment for me too. I however cutout that rear bumper piece to show my exhaust. All you need now is a flush stance.

Looks good.I would have rather done the front bumper body color.
I think you were trying to match the rear diffuser...
BAD need of spacers.You may need something bigger than 25mm.

I agree with everybody else, something is wierd about this. It just seems to be I don't know, Fix the wheels (R&R with some 19s with proper offset) than post some pics, that might be whats throwing it off, the big bulky body kit with some 18s.

the front of the car looks extra goofy and weird. idk if its a combination of the front bumper paint scheme and front wheels gap or wat. thats cool tho how they molded the sides to the oem sides. howd they do that? was it expensive and difficult?

Paint match mirrors
Black rooftop
Black door handles
New wheels
Foglights

And you're golden.

Paint matching the Ings front is the worst thing you can do.
