Default Fabulous Various Front Lip with Ings Rear Lip?

Club Members,

What are your thoughts on pairing the Fabulous front lip with the Ings rear lip?

Would it look odd to have two different body kits on? I have been looking at several pics of the Ings rear lip and I think it looks good. There is a photo of an IS350 with the full body kit in the Tungsten Pearl color posted here. The rear kit makes the IS look sportier from the back.

I had originally purchased from L-Tuned Lexus the front and rear Fabulous Various lips and I had not recieved them yet. I am trying to decide whether I should get the Ings rear lip versus the Fabulous rear lip? I will definitely keep the Fab. front lip. I think the Ings front lip is too bulky.

I would appreciate your inputs on this.

BTW, has anyone who have ordered the Fabulous Various body kits recieved theirs yet? I placed my order towards the end of April and according to L-Tuned, the wait is around 8-11 weeks.

Thanks.

I would take the Fabulous Front and rear lips since I think they look better... ings one look a bit fat therefore I didn't order the ings...

The whole look of the ings is a fat VIP look whereas I think hte Fabulous one keeps the sport car look of the IS

i think ings is more towards the sport side, and fabulous is more to the vip side


but i wouldnt do it if i were you

ings kit hangs very LOW, fabulous kit doesn't hang as low as the ings kit by like 1 to 1.5 inchs probably, so if you DO get it.. your car would look un-even

front lip rear lip

Thanks for the reply.

I just needed some opinions. I will go with my original plan of putting the Fabulous front and rear lips.

Now, the waiting continues.

I will post pictures when available.

Fabulous kit looks awesome.
If i had a black or graphite IS, i'd totally go with CF fab kits.

ISbb,

I will most likely keep the OEM side steps. I can't tell for sure but on the black IS on Fabulous website, the side skirts appear to be the OEM version. I agree with you that the front and rear lips would look good on a silver IS. Hence, the reason I am getting one

If you get the Fabulous front and rear aro installed, I really want to see some pix as I have the same color and I hate that all they have is a black car on their site. Silly, as you can't see any contour. No contrast...
