Default Vertex Kit Front and Sides with GFX Rear?

I am thinking about picking up the Full Vertex Kit and selling the rear piece. How do you guys think the front and sides would flow and look with my gfx rear?

It not to bad looking. But I prefer not to mix match kits.

Why? Vertex is clean as hell...

Anyways Vertex front with no sides and GFX rear lip is still clean and flushes real nice. Actually TBH GFX is probably one of the cleaner dropped rear lip. The pic above is a good example, I'd post the IS I seen down here but I don't want the owner to get mad, maybe he'll post his white IS250 with Vertex front and GFX rear.

I dunno, the vertex kit is to round for me. I rather go with a fab carbon fiber lip! My opinion (goes into the flame suit)!

depends what look you're going for. The Vertex is clean and simple. The Fab is more race inspired with its curled edges. The OP wants to know how the two would look. I think the rear GFX and the Vertex rear look similar. The GFX has larger openings for the exhaust tips. (if you want to install S2K tips for example). Do what you like and if YOU want to piece a kit together to your liking, then so be it. Good luck.

Im currently running GFX Rear and Sides and Fab front, just like the Vertex front and sides and this it would flow pretty good with my GFX rear since they are so similar.

After going back and searching the kit, i found one with just the Vertex front and sides with GFX rear and it pretty much looks the same as Vertex rear. I think it would look nice.

the vertex front and sides with gfx looks better than with vertex rear because the back doesn't jut out as much. so your exhaust tips aren't sunk in. unless you get someone to fix your exhaust.
