350Zforums.org is selling replica Ings Half Kit for 650.00 for the front, skirts and rear which seems like a great deal vs. the real Ings price. Dave, the owner, said he's sold a few kits already and that he's heard no complaints.

Just wondering...are replica kits usually easy to put on or is there way more prep work then the real kit. I'm sick of waiting for the real Ings kit to get in, along with the Greddy skirts and Data Systems wing I want....I'm thinking about going with the full replica Ings kit and hope the DS Wing comes in soon.

I'm just afraid to get the replica kit and end up spending a fortune on prep work for it.

Any comments?

I believe you are reffering to the initial d boky kit which is the full ings bodykit replica. Jpizzle has this kit on his car check it out

I am wondering the same thing myself as it looks great but who knows how much prepwork he did or didnt do

Street rays also has a version of the kit called wings kit by VIS for a lot less $$$ but again i wonder about the quality however vis seems to have a good reputation.

I heard the ings replica half kit fits badly.. Dont do it.

SQUILL

who did you hear from?? somebody that actually did it? did you see the car??? or did you just hear from sombody but no evidence to back up the claim??Lemme know

Would be nice to actually hear from sombody thats either installed the kit on their car or seen it personally anybody?.

i'm wondering this as well...

I just don't want to get it and have to pay a million dollars for prep work cuz the fit is horrendous.

i bought the wing pictured above and still debating whether to install it as it's 1/4 inch short on both sides and the bottom which should run flush with the edge of the trunk. Also right side of wing doesn't follow contours of trunk - there is a gap between trunk lid and spoiler - think its going to need a lot of work.
At this point i am advising against it.

you know i dont think there is a half kit replica all ive found is the full kit replicas. As with any kit you should expect some prep work to have it look its best but of course if you pay tons of$$$ for that work it may be cheaper to just get the real kit!

Squill....Dave over at 350zforums.org told me that he has the Half Kit replicas. I think I may just wait for the real deal stuff...costs more, but probably less headache then a replica. Replicas are cheaper for a reason I guess.

SQUILL

They are cheaper because they dont have the development cost to recoupe.

I know of many replica kits on peoples cars that are of great quality for a lot less $$$$

The problem is knowing if the specific replica kit you want is of good quality!

Maybe ill guinne pig for us as i backed my car into a chain link fence a few days ago and it looks like $h!t and needs to be fixed right away!!!

no beter time to get a body kit IMO gotta do something !

Let us know Squill. Dave said he sold a few replica kits already and said the customers are happy with them...so that may be a good sign

I'd like to know about the quality too. Either of this kit or the spirit (esprit replica). Both sold at 350zgforums. id like to get the authentic stuff but it takes so long, and also costs so much more... and yea no lie i'd also just like to save some money. of course if the replica is gonna cost too much extra in prep work then it's pointless, except cutting down on wait time - but i could deal with that i guess.

SQUILL

on the replica esprit kit several people have posted it is higher quality better fitment than the original!

IsatteliteI

Do you know how much he wants for them, and would he sell just the front and rear? Thanks for any info.

ZRAYGO

I have the INGS+1 LS kit on my car here are some pics:

Yes it is expensive. It cost me $4300+$500 for shipping (boat) and this is with the full rear wing (to which i am going to remove).

Take a look and let em know what you think.

I just ordered the replica today.. will let everyone know how fitment is.

SQUILL

what replica did you order????

I ordered the Vis kit which is the full ings kit replica Im worried still as the cost was really cheap but after talking to vis i decided to order they said the kit is hand laid fiberglass and imported from japan so hopefully it wont be a pile of junk they said a few cars had it with no complaints but of course why wouldnt they say that..

Well any way will post pics and info when it gets here. I hope i dont get screwed usually I pay top dollar for the quality but I need that extra money im saving for stuff thats more important in my book like Twin Turbos!
