Default factory front spoiler + ings rear... your thoughts

I ordered the rear trunk spoiler from lextacy – took 3 weeks to get here cause customs, etc. I received the factory front spoiler instead (wrong part ) …now I’m wondering if I should go through the pain of sending back, or just put it on… I'm thinking of maybe getting the ings rear lower http://www.ings-net.com/products/lexus-is/index.htm and trunk spoiler - wondering if they'd work together.

Did they charge you for a rear spoiler and send the front? If that's the case keep it you just saved $200

The front and rear lip spoiler look great. The rear lower valance is butt-***-ugly. Looks very cheap on the car. Keep the front and order a rear lip.

Bulletproof normally orders all the JDM stuff and yes they do order ings+1 as well cuz they have a lot of stuff for the S2000. The problem is that I message them last week to see if they have any of the IS350 parts yet, they said that the car is still too new and I'll have to wait on a bit.

I'll buy the front spoiler off of you... PM me if you're interested as my ideal set up is:

Lexus front lip spoiler (in progress)
Lexus rear lip deck spoiler (have)
INGS rear valence spoler (waiting for release)

I can ask my Japanese buddy to read the INGS site for me (us).

this wouldnt work, the rear would be too low compared to the front height-wise

I have just the front lip installed and I can tell you, the Lexus front kip willnot make it any lower than stock. I even measure the ground clearance before and after I install the kit. The only thing difference is the lip is wider than the stock.

I would either get the full Lexus body kit (if you like it), install just the front body kit, or get the INGS full kit. The reason why I say this is because the INGS rear lower part runs lower than the front Lexus body kit part and the car will look "uneven". Just my 2 cents...

I thought about the same thing DNSzoom.
Lexus front and rear deck lip, and the INGS rear valance, it looks good between those dual pipes.
Nothing on the sides. The Lexus rear valance makes it look like a Corolla,don't need that.
If the IS350 ever gets here!
