Looks good. I like the RB lip spoiler. The MS rear or some other aftermarket rear is a must!

thanks, I will most likely get the MS rear, I think it will match pretty well....although, I had my 8 out today and it looks pretty good as is. I really can't wait to get rid of the factory spoiler though.

Rex the MS rear will match if the sides have a lip at the bottom If not you want to consider that the rear has an extra lip that finishes off the bottom, If you get the splitters for the front you may want to look into making splitters for the sides as well to help wrap that look all the way round,,,

yeah, I was just thinking about that today....so I pulled out my INGS rears out and I think I might use these instead.....what do you guys think? Will this flow well enough?

no, the sideskirts are flat. there is a 2 step on those exhaust shrouds.

but you might be able to modify them a bit so it works.

yeah, but that step lines up with the top of the opening on the rear of the side skirt

yes the second step down on the rear valance(havent used that word in years) matches the shelf of the outlet in the sideskirt, the only thing that isnt matching are the fillets used in the ings vs. the tsunami, the ings uses a larger radius in its curves and the tsunami has very sharp radius' in its features...

I agree that the INGS will look good on your car. As does everything else you decide to put on your car. I like your style
