Vertex and Fabulous kit for white GS
Hi
Please help chosing the kit. Should i go with full Vertex kit on Pearl White GS or Vertex front, side and Fabulous rear ? Do you think Fabulous rear would flow with Vertex side skirt? Does any one here have a pic of Vertex rear bumper? Thanks

I gotta say that I think the sharp angle/lines in the rear bumper cover kinda go against the smoother, rounded lines of the car itself.
it's not hideous, and I've seen worse!, but, there are other kits that I think 'flow' better......at least on that rear shot.

Take advantage of the fact that poly urethane kits are made for the GS.

I use a FRP kit and the car is driven more than 80 miles a day? It has held up now for over a year. Its been scraped, hit by countless rocks on the freeway, and the only wear it shows is rock chips. no cracks what so ever! Don't forget to mention my 8hr drives from San Diego to the Bay Area or from the Bay Area to Las Vegas?

You wont believe how much curb rash Im getting on my rims from my sister or mom hitting the curb trying to parallel park. I guess if i got a FRP kit I just wouldnt let anyone else drive it.

Vertex Kit is $2250 delivered. The North American distributor is Speed Alliance - www.speedalliance.com. Dealers are Wholesale Hyperperformance, CIP Motorsports, and Haevy Throttle Performance. Check out www.vertexaerokits.com. Maybe you can do better on the price. Good Luck

That Vertex rear looks very similar to the fabulous rear. Either way, they both look a lil too funky and sharp-edged for me. Doesn't flow well with the rounded lines of the GS.
Just my 2 pretty pennies....

Yeah, i agreed. the rear bumper is too sharp for the car itself. I like the front and side of Vertex but not the rear. i am looking for the rear that flow with the side of Vertex. How about this Wald? Anyone here know others?
