Vertex is nice but I don't feel the sides and rear too much (one of the main reasons I did not buy it). The front is sweet though. 3 is the LXOGOOD combo that is proven and has a few following in his footsteps. 2 is OK too. Keep in mind that 2 and 3 are more daily driver friendly. The Vertex front is a little low compared to the L-Sportline front which actually curves up a little in the middle.

What does it matter what we think?...not to be rude but don't you build the car for yourself...not for us on clublexus...you should go with what you think looks good....if you don't know which to choose from then your not ready to pick...don't rush it though....find the pros and cons to each one.....just my 2 cents...


....what do i know.....not alot...after all i sold mine and have been kicken myself ever since.....man i miss that car....don't ever sell your baby...

i agreed, i just want to build it for myself and be little different from others. #2 and #3 are nice but it is too common. Maybe i will consider Vertex as my choice. eventhough, i don't have much feeling for the rear. Matching is not easy. How about Vertex(F), WIN(S)(R) or Vertex(F),(S) and Wald mold to the stock rear, or you guys can help me find the rear bumper to match with the side and front of Vertex. Thanks for yours time you guys.

i think the biggest problem when you mix match stuff is how they line up and flow with each other. some of them are aggressive, low, and flare out. some of them are subtle. if you mix them wrong, it's disaster. and it's hard to do PS job on the mix match too

to me, win is very low, not sure if the vertex is low enough? plus, can you still get win? somehow i thought they are gone? or i am wrong?
