Have you checked with Carson (supporting vendor)?

They are running a special on this kit:

Might end up being cheaper in the long run since the replicas are most likely fiberglass and not line up very well...

You will be wasting time and money going with a knock off.....guaranteed!!!

Buy a real one, the money you save buing the knock off, you will lose 3x over in labor to get the cheapie to fit right. At the end of the day, you will have an expensive knock off thats still not the quality or durability of the real deal. If you cant swing the cheddar for the real one, save your money until you can.

Buying a replica is not necessarily going to always cost you more. As long as you buy good quality ones. For my G35 I bought a replica Kenstlye rear, the original costs over a grand. The replica can be had for under $300. The fitment on mine was good, I was able to install it myself. I just paid for paint and put it on myself. Just do your research and buy from a good place.

I'll check if where I got mine has a Vertex kit for the GS also. I just bought one for my SC300, but I have yet to put it on.

Agreed! BTW if you search the net and buy a quality replica kit you might be surprised just how well it fits! I researched a replica vertex kit myself for the 2 GS at one time and one place that has been in business for a long time was selling it for $850...for the entire kit! The ONLY reason why I am holding out for the authentic is because I want polyurethane as it is much more forgiving than fiberglass (99% of the replica kits out there) because I live in NY with crap roads.

the original vertex kit isn't urethane. I have the original vertex kit and its actually thinner than the replicas out there. if you really want a replica let me know ill get it for you
