NC I Just ordered the Vertex kit!

Currently i have the INGS kit on my car and i became tired of its look (too agressive). So i went ahead and place the order for the full vertex kit! The rear bumper and sideskirts are already here in the states, however the front is still on the container. once the kit comes in the mail, i will have it installed along with the whole car repainted. so stay tuned!!

been a while since I've seen a full Vertex kit on a BB, can't wait to see it once it's completed. (I miss FE3P's car. )


did you order from an authorized distributor or go directly to Vertex USA?
Can't go wrong either way as there's some great distributors out there and Dat over at Vertex is awesome to work with.
I remember test fitting Newcastle's kit when he received it and I was VERY impressed with the initial fitment. If yours is anything like his, be careful around the corner lights as it's a very tight fit.

Yeah... there are no real EU distributors.
I'd appreciate any info on where you bought it from etc though, maybe they could skip the "distribution" and have a kit shipped straight to my door from japan saving some money!
Thanks and looking forward to seeing your pics!
