Definitely hot, looks great in black. Love the Works too but it does look like it could use some spacers.

I found this pic from the M1 Vertex sale. I hope they don't mind.

For some reason, that front end shot looks very Honda Civic-ish... Not sure why as I fell in love with the conversion when It was done on the white Vertex GS...



I know it's the same... but for some reason, the one I posted above looks very different than your car... Not sure if it's the position of the wheels or maybe just that the color hides the lines... but it looks off in my eyes...

I applaud the desire to be unique!

hey guys thanks for all the good responses. I was really up in the air about even doing this. I still have all my spare parts in the event that this kit gets damaged. Since the wheels are three-piece I was debating about using the Lips from the rear and putting them up front, while buying a new set of lips for the rear maybe making it 20x10.5 or 11.....either that or fix it quickly with the spacers.

I'm a little hesitant on aggressive wheel fitment just because I actually drive my car everyday. We shall see in the upcoming months.

Again thanks for the


Side note: for those people who PMed me even though I asked u not to after everything said and done expect to pay 5800+ for all your parts alone. add another 4k for a good paint job and well...you get the picture.
