Vertex Lang body kit verification

Hi everyone.

I just joined the forum as I’m looking at potentially buying a used vertex lang front bumper and wanted to get some expert eyes to help determine whether it is real or not.

From my understanding they have printed serial number on them, but I was unsure where that was located.

I’m from Australia, and they seem incredibly difficult to get here.

I’ve attached some photos if they are any help.

Thanks.

hey Totally,
welcome to the forum.

I've asked my friend @\Konig\ to take a look at the pics as he has a Vertex Lang front.
I remember with my VL side skirts, they did have a tag on the inside , I'm just not certain on the front bumper.

I'm not saying it isn't authentic... but...

Counterfeit vs. Authentic

For Vertex products only!
Each Vertex product is manufactured with a serial number and certificate of authenticity. If your aero does not have either, you have a counterfeit product.
that was from Vertex Lang's website: https://www.vertex-usa.com/~vertex/i...p/no-knockoffs

chatting with a friend who has a Vertex and he noticed that bumper appears to be missing the holes for the wheel well liners.
his came with them pre-drilled.

Hi man.

Thank you for looking into for me.

I assume it is a replica then. I didn't know replicas of this kit were made. It already seems very rare as it is.

Thanks.

yup definitely a replica.
it's a crap shoot with a replica, some are made decently others are terrible.
