Default Thinking of body kits... What would you recommend?

I was thinking GFX front/sides and a vertex rear. Your opinions? Haven't seen any pictures like this and wanted to see how well it flowed.

In that case, why don't you get the GFX rear?

I meant Wald's / Ings' / Toms rear lip. The stock makes the rear bumper look... big... :|

I like the black portion of the rear lip for those brands.

if you go with the GFX front and sides i'd go with the toms rear. that way it will still look proportional throughout the whole entire car.

Yeah, I am opened to ideas though but glad to know GFX goes well with the Toms rear (and probably Ings/Wald as well since they are somewhat similar?

Wald and ings are lot fatter and probably hang lower than the tom's. the tom's rear is the best suited for the gfx front lip out of the listed options

I am going fabulous rep front and gfx rear. Other than that, I don't really like any of the big lips anymore.

Thanks for the shots!

Any pictures for the SGM colour and/or rear shots?

How much would the dealer charge to paint it (if what I got was unpainted)?

possibly fitment? you can buy painted lips from here: sewellpartsonline.com, just register your CL name and you'll get a discount, too. roughly 500 dollars for the front and rear lip shipped

Can't get Toms from Sewell, only gfx.

Also, shipping costs more than the body kit itself... lol (to Canada)
