I thought cutting springs was how you're supposed to lower your car?

Making it shorter lowers your car right?

Vertex looks awesome. I would definitely be my first choice if so many people didn't have it. But it just looks amazing. Great job Konig. Mad props, that's low enough I think. And great job with the corner light delete, looks super clean. I just ended up smashing mine to bits after I filled them lol.

thanks man. how exactly did your corners get smashed? is it because at your ultra low height the bumper gets pushed up and smushed into the fender? when i saw that on your 8 it kind of worried me but i still went ahead and got the corners deleted anyway haha.

Yup that's exactly what happened. Before I filled them when I had corner lights, I would bottom out and my lights would get pushed out lol. But now that they're filled, all the pressure goes straight to the corners. I'm gonna end up running corner lights again on the BN front bumper. I dont think you'll have an issue at that height, as long as you're careful.

I love what you did with the black out on the bumper. Its attention to small details like this that really set your car apart from the pack.

Awesome as usual Konig. When sifu and I went to dyno that was the first time I saw his car in person with the vertex and yeah man that approach angle is crazy. Good luck with that, you will really have to plan your routes like I do,

Looking good \\Konig\\ ! Love seeing a clean Vertex front bumper on a nicely executed car.

Atilla- Got any pictures of the bumper lights on?

Vertex is one of my most favorite kits out there. I am going to get another Vertex kit for my Lexus SC.

My mint condition Vertex two tone front bumper with canards and fogs:


My spare Vertex front daily/track bumper. It's going to get a splitter and support rods installed soon. Maybe some clear corners when I decide to order some.


Just got the NT03 some RS3's too!
