u need to shave the headlights area and it is right on the rebar, like REAL TIGHT. i have a real small gap on the clear corners, couldnt really get that fixed, but its not very bad. also, the middle tends to bend right under if u look under the car u can see it. no idea why its like that, but another person i asked had it too. but i mean the kit is made real nice, but fitment is a small issue.

mix different brand parts to get what you want .visualize how they would come together and go for it...save $$$ if you can do some preps your bodymans going to hit you with, or if your willing to live dangerously like I did do most of the work yourself....good luck on your ventures, Later my friend.

I got the INGS front and side skirts,

Honestly, bit of a gap by the corners, but hell, it looks so damn sick.


I got my front nose, ings side skirts, and MS rear all installed and painted for 700 CAD. now THAT is a good deal

Neither, Tsunami would definitely look best. Look into it.

I love my INGS kit, but honestly because of the fitment issues, I wouldn't get it if I could do it over again. I'm not a big fan of the mint blue kit, but I would like to see more people with the Tsunami or Vertex kit.

Other INGS owners may have more insight on this, but I'm really not sure what could be fixed. Its like the actual mold wasn't done correctly. Maybe if we were to take the entire rebar off, it may fit better, but thats not happening for me. Again, I love the looks, but buy at your own risk.
