i doubt that, they never come painted, and more than likely it's just some shop the importer chooses to paint for you (if they are doing it)

might as well bring it to your whole shop to get painted and installed so you make sure color matching is good

on vertex usa website, a full 3-piece kit runs for $2,310.

http://www.vertex-usa.com/catalog/home.php?cat=78

i'm not familiar with vertex, but the website claim that all of their kits are made in japan. and if you go to their "no knockoffs" section, they support authenticity.

maybe vertex has found a way to bring jdm kits to north america at a cheaper price?

interesting, i guess vertex usa is able to get some agreement with japan. 210k yen is about 2300 us, but you basically save all shipping and fees, that's some money too

^ that's definitely an awesome price for an authentic jdm full bumper replacement kit. i wonder how vertex is able to make money by selling the kits this cheap (when compared to other jdm name brands)...
