#3 Molded with recessed part cut out


I am partial to this. I have even been thinking about putting some mesh in the cutout area with just holes for the exhaust outlets.

The 3rd one looks nice. You might as well cut the excess in the license plate also.

Thats the rear bumper that I want for my car also. Im a bigger fan of the first or second one actually though. Post some more pics when you decide which one you choose to go with.

What is the price difference between the original Ings kit and the replica kit?

When it's molded, it looks really nice. Can you do me a favor please ... I actually want to get the Ings+1 front lip (looks nice and clean), side skirts with the Ings+1 rear bumper. Wanted to mix n match between the two kits. Anyway you can do a photoshop picture with that combination for me and also mold the front lip? Thanks in advance if you can =)

It's two different kits ... Ings+1 half kit front lip with the side skirts and the Ings+1 full rear bumper. Mixing and matching the two Ings+1 kits. Sorry for not explaining it properly.

Honestly, for the amount of prep work that will be completed to furnish a knock-off to look as good as the original, sometimes its smarter to purchase the original from the start.

I know that the intial cost is a big factor but at the end it almost always evens out.

If you can try to stay away from knock-offs, INGS+1 have spent their R&D time, Advertisment money, and work really hard to get these kits here to the States for them to be available for us to purchase.

Whats a few hundred dolllar you save on a bodykit for a $30,000 car.

just imo.

Hmmmmm. Let me think...

Ings Half kit. Authentic= $2100 On Sale!!
Ings Half Kit Spoiler=$695

Ings Half Kit Replica=$600
Ings HAlf Kit Replica spoler=$225

I only have the spoiler but the workmanship is 1st class. No prep work needed. I will reserve judgment till I receive the rest of the kit but for now I have saved about $1900

Even if the other parts of the kit arrive in broken pieces my paint and prep cost wont exceed that number.
All in all I expect to save at least $1200 bux.

I refuse to pay $3000 for a fiberglass kit. It would be plain stupid in this case.

Lets try to keep this thread on-topic huh?
