a lot of people have asked my about the ings replica spoiler. I will answer it here.

The bolt holes on the spoiler is meant for the JDM fit and do not fit our cars.

When you remove the OEM spoiler, the original bolt holes are closer together than on the Ings. The original bolt holes are not flat as there are plastic rings around them that are pretty much impossible to remove. To solve the problem, you have to measure where these holes will be on the bottom side of the ings spoiler and drill (but not all the way through because you will ruin your spoiler if you do.) The purpose of this is so that the ings spoiler would sit flush with the hatch. As long as you can make the Ings spoiler to sit flush on the top of the hatch, then you can apply 3M tape to secure the spoiler. You do not need to drill two new holes on the hatch if you do not want to. As long as you put enough 3M tape, you should be fine.

Or if you're like me with a base Just drill em to the right size and I can use JDM wings like the J's wing.

Thanks for the info!

do you think changing out the turn bulb will fix that issue or is it just the way the "tubes" look?

Updated. I have now got a JDP vented hood! At first, I thought it will be too much black on the white car and refused to get a cf hood for the longest time. Now that I have, couldn't be happier.



And of course to show off thoe Axis tails. The blinkers are the same color but the angle makes the right one less bright.
