Question Original INGS vs Replica QUESTIONS

1. Are there any noticable difference?
2. What about in quality?
3. Material difference?

4. I called a shop today and they told me installation for ORIGINAL INGS is cheaper than the REPLICA coz original fitment is very smooth. Is it true or am I getting ripped off?

5. How much is painting cost?

i would ask SUPERSHYGUY on this forum. i was going over the info with him today and he was very informative and helpful. hope he can be of help.

replicas are not bad so long the QC of them is up to par. if the mold and other aspects are there in my mind it shouldnt be an issue. i have used mainly rear spoilers on cars and saved $$$ on leased cars instead of the crazy stealership cost and installed myself.

good luck!

Check my thread! I have the Ings Rep from Supershyguy! From my rep, i can't really tell the difference from the real Ings. The quality of mines is great! I think the best that reps can get. For installation the place i went to only charged me 100 for installation and 400 for painting. Im from Louisiana, so im sure pricing would be different in CA. Any other questions pm me or just reply in my thread!

I read your thread. your car is awesome!! I cant also tell visibly the difference. but when you knock on it can u tell the diffrence?

also my shop told me it's more difficult to install the rep ones, coz fitment is worse than ori
