Default Ing+ and Spoon!

My latest mod of the car is now completed (are we ever really done ).

Latest change is a Spoon S-tai hood.

Excellent hood high quality and tight fitment. Now its not without its little problems - the holes for the window washers and stock hood rod are just factionally too small and will need some gentle filing to open them up, but other than that

Ing+ front bumper - While the finished installation turned out good, it has more to do with my body shop than Ings+ quality. Fitment was not great, and holes did not allign properly. Plus their were places in the bumper where you could actually see light through the fibergalss and some pitting on the edges from the mold. All-in-all, I was disappointed in the product. Now if you have a body man who knows fiberglass and does quality work - this is how it comes out

Looks good, but def need some wheels and a small drop to complete the look. The hood and bumper are too aggressive to keep the rest of the car in stock form. just my $.02

^agreed. Need wheels immediately. Seems like the modding order is off. Parts themselves are great though.

Did you go with Fiberglass instead of Hybrid Aero on the front bumper?

Looks great, BTW, the hood and bumper go very well together.

Looking into wheels now - 18" O.Z.

It is out of order - the hood and bumper came up available now, and at good prices.

Ever since I posted the pics, I have been getting grief about the OEM rims -

bottom line - I have lot to do to make the hood and bumper go with the rest of the car - Intake, wheels, lowering springs and/or coilovers. rotors, side skirts, diffuser, perhaps rear bumper, though at this point, I would not spend more money on ing+ rear bumper. I am sure the list will grow! but thats why my car is ahobby - if it was all done at once, what would I do entertainment in the winter

Cool. PM me where you got the front bumper. I'll probably be getting this at some point to finish the INGS kit.

as much as i like the ings bumper.......


your front end is way too busy. you need a drop badly, before wheels please. and you need wheels too . but after a drop! and some sides atleast. some bumpers look good without sides/rear/rest of kit but the ings is not one of those.
