Come on!!
Replica? You let your Lex to equip with replica? It makes me feel you should drive a Civic or Accord because that is what they do!
Replica does not fit as good and that is lying to yourself also. I rather not to mod it.
BTW, is your IS350 a real one? Did you buy the body or you "upgrade" emblem?

I wouldn't buy replica parts, because it's just me. But I've seen in my enthusiast communities body parts that fit better when they are replica than the original.
As long as he doesn't pass the INGS off as being authentic, than how is he lying to himself?

About 90% of relica bodykits fit like crap. You end up spending money on bodywork to get it to fit. In the end, you used up all the money you saved by buying a replica. It's your decision.....
I love how companies advertise products like:
- Ings "Type"
- Ings "Style"
- Inggs
- etc....

the kit is quit bulky so you can tell its addition will not be for performance sake, so the materials used in the production are probably not as important to the buyer of a kit like this. so if thats the case save money on a replica if the fit/finish and mounting line-ups really aren't worth the money to you
however mr. mark is correct in that most replica kits fit like crap or are very cheaply made

Let's just say I work in the industry.. and I would agree on the number that 90% of the time it's crap. If the mold is done right, you can barely tell the difference from the original.
Even Ings uses Fiberglass... and in the end, it's not the same as OEM products. Urethane is not the same as OEM products... so don't confuse that either. Hybrid Aero is still fiberglass... a bit more bendable, but if you get into a "love tap" with another car, it'll still crack. This is coming from experience of owning the real Ings kit.
