I have one on my 2010 since they don't make ings for the 09-10 but the fitment isn't too bad:

you can see I had to bend it a little to make it fit which is why the middle is sticking out a bit on the bottom but nothing a little heat and scraping won't fix

Take it from me and learn from my recent experience. I just ordered and had installed at a cheap shop the rear and front GFX lips on my car. The fitmwnt is definitely off and after spending what I spent I regret not buying originals. However from what I was told , with a decent shop and not cheating out on labor, the job could have been done well and my lips would have looked a lot cleaner. Oh well though, live and learn lol. Regardless though, I'm only buying authentic from here on out when I replace my kit with another. Good luck op, I'm sure that even with the reps that with a good shop that has a good reputation they can make it work.

damn hahah thats rough, I hope my first replica experience goes better hows the paint tho, does it match good? what color is ur car?


thanks everyone - really helped me decide and i think im gonna get one. Honestly not that expensive if it doesn't look how I want it to anyway. Im assuming you needa take off the oem lip to put this one on? or does it bolt over?

That's a deceiving picture. The front lip is quite a bit lower than the stock side skirts. It needs more aggressive skirts IMO.

My car is Tungsten Pearl. The paint came out well imo. Maybe to a better trained eye it may be a very slight bit off though. But for me that checks out. It was just the install that went terribly wrong but hey definitely learn from others mistakes including mine and pay for a professional and quality install. Take it to someone who knows what they're doing and you'll be good and very happy with your purchase I assure you. Also I'd recommend you try and get a polyurethane lip since I heard fiberglass tends to break easier.

As for how the Ings lip goes on the front, I am not sure. I know that for the GFX on my car they removed my old one and essentially replaced it with this one using screws I believe. So I'd assume the same for the INGS. But maybe someone more qualified can answer here. Best of luck Parsa , hope it goes great for you. Especially since I plan on getting the Ings in the near future as well . Maybe then If yours comes out good I'll still go ahead and buy a replica

Yup, and I do not. A few have asked the same question and there's another thread floating around with profile pictures of the lip with stock sides. It might take some time searching, but it's there.
