Question Opinions on a Lip Spoiler

Hey guys I am planning to get a lip spoiler for my 8 and am stuck between either the Racing Beat or INGS. Which ever one I get I will be changing the exhaust shrouds to either the INGS or the Racing Beat ones. Anyways I was wondering which setup you guys think would look best on my 8? Also where would be the cheapest place to get the INGS spoiler without waiting for it to come in from Japan. I'll be adding pics later.

I also already know what will have to be done regarding the holes from the OEM spoiler, so that's not a problem.

Thanks.

Here is the INGS spoiler and exhaust shrouds:

Realistically, you'll probably not be able to find a place that has the ings spoiler here in the us in stock. The RB is more likely to find someplace here in the US but you may still have to wait for a while to get one.

I think the RB would flow with the look of your car better than the ings, but the decision is up to you.

Thanks. That's exactly why I asked for opinions. I love both, but am not sure which would actually flow best with my setup.

Regarding the INGS availability in the U.S., I sort of figured that outside the U.S. would be the only way to source it. Now that I think about it, if I am to decide to go with the INGS, a 3 month wait wouldn't actually be that bad because I'm currently off at college, without my 8, so it's no big deal if I get it in a week or three months because it'll be sitting in my garage till I have the time to get it painted anyways. If I go with the Racing Beat wing, do you think the INGS exhaust shrouds would be the best choice. I've been pretty much set on those for a while, it's just the wing I can't decide on. Lol.

Possibly. I was looking into it too, but the two that I listed are above it on my list right now.

LOL, that's the same situation I'm in, so when I order parts from JDM land I never really worry because I won't get to put them on until the summer.

I have the rear ings shrouds and I think they look great. Its a nice subtle look to the car and it really looks nice without being too much or having to replace an entire bumper. They also don't interfere with my massive Greddy EVOTT exhaust tips, so I imagine you won't have a problem with them fitting your exhaust. To also reduce cost, just going with those exhaust shrouds is a great way to reduce the amount of fitting and paint required.

Personally, I really like the look of the flat low wing that the racing beat wing is, that's why I actually ended up going with the Mint Blue rear spoiler, which in my opinion is a more exaggerated version of the RB to complement the look of the ings rear. I'm just not a huge fan of the shape that the ings wing gives, as I feel it kind of interrupts the flow of the rear. But that's just my $.02, but I still think the ings wing is one of the best looking wings on the market.

If you would like, I can PM you my current source for parts, he is extremely helpful with me and has also helped out Jedi54 here on the forums with his JDM parts needs. He should be able to take care of you really well if you're interested in ordering those parts.

Yeah I feel exactly the same way about the INGS, that's why I have second thoughts on it. Oh and if you could send me that PM, that would be awesome! Thanks. I really appreciate it.
