Default Bodykit Question

Can anyone tell me if the INGS kit from vividracing is basically the same as the VIS Racing kit from andysautosport?

From the pictures they appear to be pretty much identical.. however quite the cost difference. So just wondering if anyone in the know can explain the differences to me -- if there are any?

VIS Racing Kit from Andys:
http://www.andysautosport.com/produc...4DWIN-099.html

INGS Kit from Vivid:
https://www.vividracing.com/catalog/...1-p-46301.html

My second question is -- does anyone know if IS C kits fit on a 06+ Lexus? Or if anyone has done this already? Some nice looking kits available for the ISC.

Thanks!

I dont think the ISC kits would work on a regualr IS but cant say for sure...

The INGS kit from vividracing is a legit kit while the VIS is just a replica kit. If your going for a replica kit it is very important that you take it to a reputable shop to have it installed since fitment will be pretty bad (ask me how I know) . And even then you will still probably have some fitment issues honestly... In the end I think its best to just save up the difference and buy the authentic INGS kit vs the replica. Unless your okay with some gaps here and there..

Thanks for the replies!

That makes sense -- I was hoping the quality difference wouldn't be like buying knock off sun glasses or jeans. It looks like the VIS racing product is carbon fiber where the INGS model is poly-urethane? It does seem like VIS is a reputable company -- would they really ship out a product that doesn't fit at all? I'm not sure it's the same as ordering from eBay -- or would you disagree?

Does anyone know of a cheaper location of the INGS model before I commit to Vivid?

Also -- I'm a little unsure if I want to back end to the INGS kit, does anyone know rear kits from other vendors that fit well with this kit? Or do they all fit together well? Can I mix and match anything?
