Personally I think the lip front and rear should be molded. I really don't like the line to be honest, if its like a chin to the bumper then its okay, but its too big and goes ontop of the bumper.

Looking nice tho, how come I never see you on the road. You should stick out like a sore thumb

^^ I hear what your saying, but I like the sides and rear so much of the Vertex kit, and I didn't want to mix & match kits. But its grown on me a lot and I'm very happy w/ the choice.

Not sure why you don't see me around. Probably cuz I'm married, lol...

When I'm on the road I'm usually in the Paramus/Hackensack area.

Everytime I see a pic of your car I think the same thing. "Wow, those rims are so right for that car"

Amazing pics as usual.

Do you use anything else besides your 10-22mm? Just curious.. Good PP btw. Do you have any of the original unedited shots? Just want to see some before and after stuff just for kicks....

thanks for the comments guys. I shoot with a Canon XSi (450d), and 99% of the time I use my 10-22UWA.

all of my originals are still in RAW format and I'm a little busy at the moment, but perhaps some other time I'll give you a before and after. Glad you like my PP style.

I agree, the vertex fron lip looks like jay leno's chin = ugly. Too massive and the line doesn't flow with the rest of the car. Other than that, the wheels are nice.

okay okay now, stop ripping on my car!

j/k, j/k - I get where you guys are coming from. The Vertex FRONT lip isn't my all out favorate either. But the rest of the kit is perfect and above the rest for me. I like other front lips a little better, but I really didn't want to play 'mix n' match' with my kit.

But in person, it looks a whole lot better. Its really grown on me. At first I thought it looked like a snow plow, lol... but after a while, you get where Vertex was coming from when they designing the lip. It bends around the front with this sleek & tight look, and the sides and rear, well they speak for themselves. A great kit over all though. I likes.

I actually once thought about going w/ the Fab front lip, but I don't think its low enough, and wouldn't look right with the sides...
