Car Year - 1992 SC400
Part type - #451 front lip spoiler (add on to factory bumper)
Part make - Erebuni
Part construction - fiberglass
Source - Erebuni direct
Price - $380 US after shipping/taxes etc
Fitment - 7/10, about what I expected. see pics for gaps on sides. Front portion that most people will see fits fairly well though. I see why some members mold this lip.
Installation - easy, drill 4 holes and install 4 screws
Durability - probably not good. Its thin fiberglass. You get what you pay for.
Overall I'm happy with the subtle looks of the kit.

This was a great thread. however, I think we need to include what body shop charged to install. I know for all us with VIS experience it was much more than if you had purchased a real bomex or vertex or original kit. My VIS install which i cut the project short after extensive modding was necessary for the front but overall woudl have ran around 2000 this was after two replacemtn bumpers and one replacement of side skirts from VIS. my bomex came and screw holes were 100% on and so was fitment and I got the entire kit including the three piece rear under. I actually mounted it myself with no prior experience and the body shop just took it from there. 750 have the bomex taken off and painted and put back on by body shop. factor in thats almost 1300 in savings and you'll get a better quality mold with original....And somebody on the forum just totall ripped the Version Select kit said it was extremely poor mold and nothing was right. I know the crap these websites post saying some modification is needed..that is a line of bull if they have experienced molders than it shouldn't need modification. maybe a few extra screw holes drilled here and there but that is with anything...

That is the vis knock off of the vertex kit with the center grille filled in and the foglights you need are the 97+sc300 foglights. Looks sharp man. The only thing I would suggest is getting a lexus L badge (the bigger one) in chrome for that bumper for the empty space

Dear god I hope you never curb-rash those wheel edges. Does Vertex make those fenders without the vent?

the Vertex fender fits like oem. That means you could run any SC side skirt you want including OEM.
