you redeemed yourself!

But you guys are correct - I have the INGS+1 rear. My front bumper is Top Secret

IIRC there was a member with a silverstone who only had the front bumper. I always think they look a little front heavy with an otherwise stock body (especially without rims).

INGS INSTALL



the fittment should be great


it would look very front heavy and unbalanced with out the side skirts and then if you go with the side skirts, the rear will look naked so you need the whole kit IMHO


I forget who it is but somebody has the full kit in Hybrid aero for sale and at a good savings if you are serious about the kit

SaltyDog is the one with the full kit for sale.

My car is lowered so measuring the height won't help you if you are at stock ride height, or anyother height than what I am sitting at.

I also never had an OEM lip so I cannot say if it is lower than that, but I suspect it is.

Also, I agree with the posters above, it does look too unbalanced with just the front bumper, especially in side-on shots the front looks WAY too low for the side of the car.

If you don't like the INGS side skirts (I didn't in pictures, but in person they REALLY look great.) You could get GP Sports or Airwalker sides and it would flow well.

Oh, and I had the body shop install and paint the kit. They had no trouble fitting it at all. I bought the kit used so it had already been painted and installed once so I cannot really comment on the ammount of work to finish the parts, but I have never seen anyone complain, and I have seen the unfinished parts before and they are very much ready for paint as they sit.

Any reputable body shop should be able to intall and paint the kit.

Matching paint is a bit tricky. S2000GT and I use the same body shop. Both of our cars are Silverstone, but the body shop uses two different color codes for our cars. Matching Silverstone is not exactly the easiest thing in the world to do. However, a reputable body shop should be able to match the color on YOUR car flawlessly.

I would also add that it would be wise to pay the $$$ and get the fenders blended

Thanks for all the info guy's. My car is Silverstone as well.

I might just weight, since my car is only 2 1/2 months old, and I have the clear bra and front lip spoiler already on it. Maybe I should get a years worth of wear out of them first. Wait until they start looking a little ruff, and then have the whole kit installed.

I have had several people tell me that if I didn't want to run the whole kit, just the front bumper than I should buy the ASM front bumper as it supposedly looks really good on the car by itself.

What color is it? Do you have any pictures of it on your car?

Why are you selling it, and how much?
