Again that's only from the bottom of the wheel and not the front lip, sorry lol
Yep that's exactly what I'm looking for: bottom of tire (ground) to fender edge
I'll hit up NM this weekend to see if they have any left for test fit
Thanks man

No problem. If nextmod does not have fitment issues, please punch them in them in the face for me, after putting me through all their bull****

Haha I'll definitely mention you
JDMIS250 (old member) is actually the one that allowed NM to have the 09 rep, because he bought the authentic from them and received a big discount to allow them to mold it :P
But he sold the car few years back

Yeah I heard about that.

Ive never had an authentic vertex front lip, but this rep from nextmod looks almost perfect. They def did a good job

Honestly, us 09-10 owners got shafted when it comes to finding good lips. I originally only wanted the 09-10 gfx front lip but 500+ duties is just something i can't justify spending. & since i have the gfx side skirts i wanted something more subtle..i think the vertex lip will look too big when paired with the gfx sides...
what do you guys think of this though? ( a little off topic i know, sorry in advance)

This is how the vertex front looks with stock sides.

VMB5? I like those but they don't come 19...thinking of going with AG M510 next which is similar style

Anyways, so here's the scoop

I contacted NM yesterday (they closed today for good Friday so I'm going in tomorrow) but basically same thing he said the V have some issues they're trying to solve, and that if I really want to test fit I need to book a time with their bodyshop and they need to do it because it's a little hard, and he also says even the authentic vertex is a little hard to fit (????? BS??). He says he can also get wald for 09 which a previous customer purchased and the fitment was really good so I'm going to go in tomorrow and may order that but we'll see

hm, so nextmod isn't selling the vertex replica anymore? got my 09 a few years ago and have been wanting to get this front lip, it'd suck if it's not sold by nextmod anymore...

does anyone know other places that would sell the replica?

He says they still have it but because some buyers from US say the fitment is pretty off so they temporarily stopped selling it unless you're local they're willing to try to see how it fits
But to get a test fit I need to book a time with their bodyshop which is too much hassle for me as I don't get home til 7 and the bodyshop only opens til 6 on weekdays (closed on weekends)
I guess they just want a guinea pig to try and see just how bad it is first before continue selling it

=\ So I'm in the same boat as you then since I won't get off work till around 6 and definitely can't make it over to Markham from the west end till like 7...

Maybe I'll try to find some time to get off early one day and see how well or badly the fitment really is.

Nextmod is the only place who sells the replica vertex kit for 09-10. You can find tons of 06-08s on ebay.

The authentic vertex is hard to fit? If its anything like my rep (from nextmod) it fits like a glove, its not going anywhere. Its hard to first snap on the bumper tho, takes some force but again it fits like a glove.
