Default Ings+1 rear

After getting the Seibon TS style rear lip (ings+1 replica) things didn't go very well so i decided to get the real one, without the carbon fiber. On l-tuned, there's 2 different materials. Which is better the hybrid or the FRP?

^ sounds like he had fitment problems but he didnt get the real deal if I read his post correctly. He got the replica kit and a few have had problems. I had one in the past and it fit like a glove. I am sure it has to do with who is MFG them, not if its a replica or the real deal.

OP: FRP is more common on body kits. Not sure what they hybrid material is that they are referring to??

hybrid is like half fiberglass and poly utherene, it allows it to be more flexible i think

Yes the fitment was terrible. I cannot say that for every kit out there. jonjon83 got the kit and it was a good fit. I have a thread that was closed with pictures of the kit not fitting.

This has everything to do with who is manufacturing them AND if it's a replica or the real deal. Not saying that some replica's don't fit well, but there's a reason why authentic parts cost more and (generally speaking) offer much better fitment than the knock-off stuff.

I think the FRB for the rear is good enough, cuse you don't scatch the rear bumper offen.

I own the front lip in Hybrid myself, I chose that cuse the front lip has a greater chance of scatching in the front, there for I pick the hybrid verson for the front.

Yeah i know. I saw the pictures. Did the rear fit exactly though?

Cause people who have small hands still wear big gloves...
