That really sucks, Titanium. Sorry to hear....
It really is depressing to hear such horror stories. I don't think I would have purchased this had I heard these stories prior. It seems I've gotten 1 good kit in comparison to 1 shitty, & 1 smashed by the shipper kit. I really wouldn't like those odds....
Sorry, guys, I wasn't able to get any pics taken. I'll try to get to them in the next couple of days, school is startin', though, so it may be a few days.

It only takes one bad seed to ruin the whole crop -- i'm sure some members of this forum also belong to other clubs where they can give a "heads up" on their experience with them, positively or NEGATIVELY.

However the Aero Hybrid version they do is something that INGs have worked on themselves, its a "Hybridized fibreglass and Urethane" which they say "can overcome chipping and cracking problems"
Only $120 more so went for it!

Of course they're expensive. You get what you pay for. I'm a tad careless when in a hurry (which is too often!). So there is no way fiberglass will hold up for me. Plain and simple. If you can afford a $599 kit, plus shipping, refinishing, painting and mounting. If you just cut back for a little while (less movies, less drinking, less eating out), you can afford to upgrade to one of these other kits... that is if you really want one

Looks good overall. And I must say I like the monochrome scheme on the rear bumper. Very nice. Too bad about the skirt fitment but it's only noticeable up close. One thing that is nice is the fact that the plastic 'bar' across the nose grill is absent. Big plus on that. Great pics!

I got the kit for $549 (starting bid from ebay) + $150 shipping and I got hook up for free paint job and installation. So total cost $699. Nice, rite
