Dont trust them...no telling what you'll get.

Those lowlife bastards are stealing pictures from around the internet of peoples cars who have never purchased anything from them. they steal designs and pictures of cars they didnt build.

Lol that may be true but they have to be doing something good in order to continue to be in business. The only problem I had so far was with UPS. They called me to schedule a delivery appointment, they no show. A day later, they called again to reschedule. I checked the tracking number and the bumper was in Baltimore, about 45 minutes away from the body shop. I asked the lady if they could ship it [the day she called me]. She said no because the trucks were already loaded and out so it'll have to be [next day]. This was all at 10am. 4pm, my buddy at the shop texts me my bumper got there...

So what's a good website to get body kits for our cars without getting ripped off?

Yes it's a knock-off kit.

Welcome to club lexus, the only "upgrade" kit you need to know of (that will offer you cool points) is the Kouki/97+ conversion.

Their business is centered around people who buy fake, knock off products. I wouldnt call that "doing something good"

It makes other companies not bother producing parts for these cars because the market is flooded with knockoffs and bottom feeders.

Origin is authentic. There are knock offs of it. O-something was the name name of the kit.

Origin kits aren't rare, are they?

You can buy Origin from Origin themselves, they're readily available but don't expect a low price, same
with Vertex.

I got my bumper straight from ED. Send ExtremeDimension a private message or email, you can find the contact info in his signature. Easy place to find his screen name is in the vendor section.

The good thing about knock offs is the price. I would be devastated if I smashed a $1000 legit Vertex bumper. Glad it's a $170 bumper. But trust me, I'd rather buy the real deal but I drive my Lexi everyday. I may be the best driver but it doesn't mean someone isn't going to hit me. It may not be good business, but it is sure a benefit to us. I'm not the one selling, just the buyer.

Hey OP. How did your car turn out? I'm interested in a lip kit in Duraflex but wanted to see how a real world example turned out first
