Vertex and more!
Perfectly done all around. Very clean and no tackiness.
Your (rear) fenders are by far the best rolled I've seen. Always dreaded rolling my fenders as I don't want the sheet metal deformation that bends it outwards noticeably when the inside lip is rolled. Quite hard to do without some sort of outward deformation from almost every 8 I've seen rolled. What was used for your fender roll?

thanks guys!
scooter_dmi: yeah i lucked out that the sides matched up so well to the front, woohoo!
saynotopistons: the fronts are rolled, but the rears are actually trimmed which is why they dont have that rolled look! a guy in LA did them for me for 60 bucks (all four). they are trimmed pretty close to the edge and its plenty of clearance for the wheel size i have. the trimmed area came out super clean, you can run your fingers across it and its smooth.

holy **** Jesse, wow!
what did you DO????
this looks like **** man, your old setup with the front lip looked waaayyyy better. I mean, so what if everybody else had that look.
And wtf were you thinking painting the inside of the front like that? Seriously, why would you ever do something so creative as that, you should have just left it all white.
ugh.
ruined a perfectly good looking car.
Konig knows I'm totally ******* with him. I'm super excited that Luxury mods hooked you up, the car looks AMAZING! Now lets get a photoshoot going.

nah he didnt, just smoothed it down so the edges wouldnt be rough/sharp. but ive been keeping an eye on it and it shows no sign of corrosion yet. but you just reminded me that at some point soon i need to put some protection on there! added to the to-do list haha.
thanks! and yeah, body shop definitely gave me a good price for all the work that was done.
the same bodyshop guy had done gregs front bumper before and filled in his corners, so he had some experience already haha. the fitment around the corners (getting the bumper to lay flush) was more of an issue i think than filling in the corners themselves.
the bumper can still attach where the clear corners are with the one screw that is there, but since this front fits muchhh more tightly than the stock bumper, i left the screws out for now. you can tell on the passenger side the corner sticks out a littttle bit, i could fix that by putting the screw in and tightening it down but for the moment it doesnt really bug me because the fitment everywhere else is so spot on. so its just screwed in mainly from the top under the hood. like i said, the bumper fits VERY snug on the sides, requires a little flexing to fit it on and then it sorta just snaps into place once set.

i liked the clear corner lights too and thought they looked pretty cool with amber LED's in them, but ive love the vertex without the corners ever since i saw a picture of it done on another 8.
and since the corners are gone now, i actually now have two amber colored LED's that are of no use to me haha...anyone want them? $12 shipped takes'em =] (they cost $15 + shipping from VLEDS.com)
they are these: http://www.vleds.com/bulb/194-168-15...58-1-pair.html

Rotary-RX8, IMO having the corners filled really cleans up the lines 
Konig, having the same or very similar work done here would cost a LOT more than $1500. Gregs body man does awesome work so not surprised now with your amazing results.

And you've got a PM, regarding the LED's.
