That's the base for the Nismo wing if I'm not mistaken.

thanks for the comments guys!! yes, there is some orange peel in the paint. but...if you look at the nominal paint on the car...there is orange peel as well...so they tried to sand it enough to match the nominal orange peel. weird, i know. but it's true. i noticed it in my original paint from day 1. anyways, yeah, i think the shop has done a GREAT job. The body kit is SOLID on the car. They created mounting brackets EVERYWHERE to make sure the kit wouldn't shake in the wind(important to me). I can not wait til tomorrow wheni get it. (if i do). I will definitely post some pics!

To whoever said that i should have gone full nismo, i respect your opinion...as many guys have done it. To me, tho, the lines just don't flow right. The side skirts are too bubbly and the rear skirts don't match. If you look at the lip of the front bumper and the rear, they compliment each other, and the side skirts evenly tie them together. Guess it's just all personal opinion. I love alot of the nismo stuff, but i think INGS nailed those sides and rear!


Anyways, i'll keep the pics coming! Thanks for the comments guys!!

I'll be doing both the springs and the rims myself....those are both straight forward...no sense paying someone for that.

Cool. :thumbsup:

So long as it does match the existing factory paint you should be good to go. A couple detailing jobs should help to hide the remaining orange peel effect on the paint.

Otherwise, this kit & color combination is killer! Very nicely done.

finally got the car yesterday...but still no hood...they had some issues w/ the baking process and the resin they use on the CF hoods. Not a big deal, just needs re-cleared. They'll do that monday and I'll have it on then. There are a few other minor details that need some attending to, but mainly, it's there.

I just got done installing the lowering springs and the GTS's...and I gotta tell you, i'm in love with my car...It's quite hot! haha...I'm debating on whether to toss some pics up now or to wait until the hood is on...guess i'm doin the Bubble thing here
