Got in a accident the 2nd week I had the car, and I was at fault. Purchased the INGS+1 Hybrid Front Bumper, Grille with intake duct and the CarbonFiber Canards from bulletproofautomotive.com. It was about 2,000 shipped from Japan to Canada and after duty charges and taxes.

Here was the test fit. The car goes the the shop this friday, I will snap pics when shes done.

The fitment is unreal. Its so perfect, quality is top notch. Since its a fiberglass material is not very flexible. Therefore trying to put on the bumper was tough. It was really tight, I had me and my brother had to use some muscle. There was zero gaps, definitly like OEM Fitment. Grille and bumper came with full hardware and instructions. INGS also included the foglight brackets and trim panels. Since in Canada we dont get fogs, so I wont be using them.

But I will get the car back next wednesday and I will post pics. I am excited, bulletproofautomotive also told me that I will be the only one in Canada to have this kit for awhile.

So...how about some Evo v. STI writeups...

[ChrisKwan]

ahaha.... Well EVO MR vs 08 STi. Stock evo and ap stage one sti, sti is faster by quite abit. Stock for stock, sti is still faster. BUT driving the evo fells faster, you feel more pull and the car is literally on rails. ZERO body rolls. Absolutly amazing car. The shifts on the evo, cant feel them, the transmission is amazing. But STi could handle just as well if the tires were better and if we had some stiffer swaybars. If I had to decide on wat car..... I would pick sti just because I had an 06 sti and I loved it. Even tho to me personally the evo is the better car stock for stock.

But if we take the two cars on Gravel and dirt. The STi is far superior, just handles and has more control on this type of terrain.

I can't wait for the pix after getting painted!

Subscribed. I was thinking of pulling the trigger on that grille.

I will wait to see it painted first!

Genious...honey, I got into an accident....yeah, I know, it was my fault (head real low at this point) BUT I figure since the Subie pieces are so expensive, might as well go with a VERY reputable body kit fabricator. Hey, I'm just trying to make the best of the situation and throwing things at me is NOT going to bring my old car back...yes, I can just see it now. Brilliant!

I am sorry mattjk. I am no car expert or car anaylist, its thats basicly wat I experienced. I guess everyone would have a different opioion.


and GilMikalian I am not married, I am just some student. The stock pieces where goin to be expensive, so mind as well pay and hundred more and get something decent.
