Default What kit is this?

So I found a guy that has this kit fs. Brand new never mounted.
I dislike the skirts and I think the rear looks boxy. Front is doable for me except
The missing body lines for the front and rear bumpers.
Anyone know what generic kit this is? For $300 it's not bad I guess..
He also, has a authentic vertex kit also, but needs a crap load of work.
Side skirts are missing peices on the bottom, rear by the exhausts are all cracked,
Front has cracks in the middle and lower and the passenger headlight peice that separates
The lights is broken off. That one for $400 and who knows how much to body work it back good.

Well ur thoughts on what I should do. Pick up the generic unknown kit or authentic vertex and do some heavy work.

Pics of unknown kit

Is that the vertex in the back of the second pic? I say pass on both of them. Spend the money on what you want don't settle just for a cheap price. Sounds like you don't like the kits your just thinking about it because of the price.

I remembered I commented on your car in the silver gs thread. I think your wheel set up looks to good to throw any cheap kit on your car just for cost. Be patient and execute right.

If its a cheap knock off kit your bodyshop or whoever does the install will hate you! Get a authentic kit so it fits. The cost will be cheaper too in the long run.

Don't get me wrong. I have a version select kit which is not authentic. I was just saying that the style and look of that kit wouldn't flow with what he has going on. Seems like he was just settling for a kit just for the cost.

Well the vertex kit was authentic just needed a lot of work.
I finally found out what that kit was. Extreme dimensions "VIP" kit. Haha

Well like stated, I'm just going to pick up my silk blaze front lip tonight.
Thanks for the kind words and etc etc.

I tried an extreme dimensions kit and it was such a heaping POS it went in the garbage. Body shop laughed at me and thought I was playing a joke on them. So I purchased a genuine job design and it fit just like oem Im actually selling the complete job design kit for a upgraded kit if anyone is interested its in the classifieds or PM me
