Never really liked ING kits.. more suited for styling Acuras/Hondas. The clunky lip kit makes the car even bulkier than it already is, and despite the large 19" wheels the tires look like rubber bands on it. I like the wheels, but the tires are too short. Still a nice car thou, but there nicer, classier cars on CL here...

Just compare this to CSPEC's car - much more balanced with the lip kit, wheels, tires, and drop...

That GFX kit is just plain gaudy, obnoxious, and doesn't match the lines of the car well. If it was deflated a bit, it might look ok, as it is, tacky.

the only thing ill about that car is the BBK. The kit is okay and the rims don't go with that car. Those rims don't look right on a luxury car like the IS350, they look better on something like a S2000 or Supra or something like that.

Yea, it makes the IS look bottom heavy. I LOVE the wheels, but IMO since the kit is so chunky, it kinda pulls your attention away from it. It swallows up those 19's.

The funny thing is that the INGS kit looks so much better on a dark colored car....IMO

Like the rims, love the brakes, okay on the kit because as already mentioned, it looks kind of bulky and bottom heavy. If it's flush then I think it'd look great!

There's nothing wrong with the sticker, it's the guy's COMPANY...

Exactly. The tacked on look looks cheap, even though the Ings is a quality kit.

Props for the BBK though. If I wasn't addicted to shooting right now, I'd have them on my ride.

Wheels are great as is the drop and the brakes .

Kit is poorly paint matched which makes it look out of place... Might be better if it did because it stands out as it's a shade whiter than the rest of the car... makes the seams look thicker too.
