Ings or Vertex front bumper

Alright guys,
Deciding on buying a new bumper soon,
but need a little help on deciding.
Dont want to work with crappy replicas, so i will be buying the real deal.
I really like the ings kit, but then again also the vertex.

Which would you prefer?

INGS:


Vertex Lang:

what color is your car?
plans for side skirts?

Ings is a bit more aggressive so it really depends on what else you have / are planning.

Haha. No joke! Yeah from a couple feet away it looks good but if you get up close to it, you can tell. Especially around the side markers.

Probably will just give it away if any one wants it when i buy the new one

So far Im the only Vertex vote

In my opinion the Ings only works if you have a large front mount intercooler to cover that massive hole in the front grille area.

I'm all votes for Vertex. But then again I would be biased since I have the full kit and two Vertex front bumpers

But your two options were on my list at one point. Ever consider BN Sports kit or RE-Amemiya?

If I am redoing my car...its probably RE-Amemiya since its not too common.

two?! Yeah ive seen, some of your pics, amazing work! I love every bit that you've done!
and yeah, Id definitely go with BN Sports. It was originally my choice, but i don't want to spend a fortune just for shipping.
I have yet to find any other places to get the BN Sports kit though other than japan parts IIRC.
Or at least somewhere where shipping wouldn't cost as much.

Whereas INGS and Vertex have US distributors.

Which one for the RE-Amemiya are you looking at?

Yeah that doesn't look bad either, but i really want one of the two.
If i could get my hands on a BN Sport id get that hands down.

Shoooot..Id get 2 for that price too!
