Default IS350 Seibon CF FX Kit

Well I took a sick day today from work to play with my car. “Don’t tell my boss” It took about 8hrs but I think it was worth the time and pain. I haven’t decided if I’m going to keep the carbon look of paint it black. What do you think? Sorry Ill take better pictures this weekend…The rain just moved in about 20min ago.

It is a INGS Kit... It has the Ings stamp inside of every part. I think it gets a little tight after Seibon lays the carbon and clear coat on the top. Anyway its fitment was just like you said...Fits like a glove! they just recamend that I remove the bumpers to get the best fit without cracking the clearcoat on the Carbon.

let me get this straight, so they bought the ings kit, then put a cf coat over it?

cause ings itself doesn't make cf kits

Looks super...but I think I would paint it black. I like carbon Fiber in the front but all the way around is a bit much. Your car looks REALLY good..SHINEY

Here is what I was told…Seibon purchases these “fiberglass” kits from INGS directly then they lay carbon on them and resell them.

I should be able to confirm this in 2-3 more weeks. I still have a INGS kit coming too. I was going to cancel but my friend it getting ready to purchase a 07 IS350 and he wanted me to keep the order.

Who knows you maybe your right..


I paid $1870+ Shipping for the INGS fiberglass kit and I think I paid $1800 plus shipping for the Seibon . “I think” I can tell you this between the two my credit card bill was about $5k

I didn’t take a picture but under the fiberglass on each of the parts had a label glassed in that said something like 06IS250INGS

That’s good to know!! Either way I think they did a great job.

I’m sitting here staring at the car wondering what it would be like all black. Can you post pictures of your car?
