Default Best place to buy a real vertex kit?

So far the only place I know of selling the real kit is luxurymods.com. Do you guys know any other places that would be cheaper?

Also what is your opinion on just getting the vertex front w/o sideskirts and rear, or 97 sides and rear. Ghey?

If I do get the full kit would it cost much more to repaint the whole car?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. CL rocks.

I don't understand why people don't just call the companies directly for immediate response. Instead you ask the forums and wait for somebody to tell you to call the company first.

...back to square one.

I emailed them already but still am waiting for a response. I'm at work right now and goofing off on the phone is more obvious than goofing off online. Just wondering if I'd get a quicker response here along with their expiriences ordering from a place.

Prices usually don't include shipping unless it says shipping included or free shipping... just like pretty much everything you buy through the internet.

Just letting you know, its very difficult getting authentic vertex over here to the states.

www.speedalliance.com is definitely your best bet though.

werd. Also ScFred, I never said i had any problems. I bought my vertex fenders there as well. Never asked for a hookup, and paid whatever price they charged, PLUS tax. NO big deal.

Mentioning one name to a business isn't going to do squat unless you guys are BLOOD brothers. He'll just be nicer to you since i know whomever name i mention. that's it.
