They look identical, but the rock guard up front on new version is solid. If you blow picture up you can see its open , you can also see glue/cut lines. I could hit that with a magic marker , but should I have to on something I paid a grand for?

I'm working with the vendor and ings right now and I'll wait for their final position before I comment one way or the other.

For what it's worth the product is very high quality stuff, but it is not as advertise

Unless they make you a hell of a deal I say swap them. You shouldn't have to patch something you bought new

having a little bit of difficulty with ings right now regarding that , will see what the vendor does but i agree

So sent the side skirts back today, lets hope everything goes smoothly with the return process and I can start waiting for the new ones to come. hopefully I do not have to wait 2 months for them. Im debating putting the damaged ones back on or just leaving them off for a while. really kills my drive to enter any car shows for the summer though.

So far im happy with the vendor and their efforts, once ings accepts the return and I get a lead time on the replacements ill feel much better about the whole thing.

jlo370z 05-16-2014 08:33 PM

Now that go is done, time to bring the sexy back!

Finally purchased all this yestereday from Wicked Cas, along with a back up camera. Cant wait to get it and install, will install my adjustable clutch peddle at the same time. My shift Knob from Moddictions should be here Tuesday:tup:.

I also sent back the Ings+1 CF side skirts I got, and am awaiting on a newer version of them to ship to me. in the mean time I have re mounted the aero jacket ones I have.

Im getting close to the end of the line here, running out of things to buy.:bowrofl:

I have decided, I will be digging into the internals of the engine over the winter months, dropping to a 10:1 comperssion and maybe converting to E85, need to do a little research on E85 in my area to see if it makes sense.

then ill shoot for a safe 600/500:driving:

Of course I was talking about your mental health, Addictive Shopping, side of help.

I would help you install, but my arthritis is acting up.........lol.

Seriously, I would be no help at all.......just get in the way.

I understand my daughter's boyfriend contacted you about a car space this winter at the Cave.

We would both like to come up for a visit, a couple of beers, etc. He is a mechanic.......specializing in Electronics............Maybe a deal can be struck here?

Give me a call.

You're telling me about not wanting to work on weekends. I can't use half of my garage because I tore my half bath apart downstairs and all the wood for my custom vanity is taking up space uncut on the garage floor. Maybe I'll get around to it someday.

I chopped down a tree and put all the bigger branches in our third stall to burn in our pit later. can barely get in and out of juke LOL

My wife works 14 hour shifts 3 days a week, so it even makes it harder to get things done with a 10 year old at home.

I need to motivate myself to just get it done
