go with Nextmod, their rep may take a bit to fit but honestly I helped my buddy install his and it's really not all that difficult... for way more then half the price of an authentic one I'd go this route for the full kit. Keep in mind you have to spare some $$ for paint.

here is my 2cents...i was in the same boat as you for the last 6 months. i finally bit the bullet and went ahead with the ordering. i haven't seen or touched nextmod and im sure some of the kits from them are good, for the price that you pay with nextmod, your risking a amount of poor quality with fitment among other things. also we drive a luxury car and pay for a luxury car so why not save the coin and purchase products that we will be happy in the end.

I went with the full lip kit and wald spoiler from VIP. i searched for weeks for the best pricing and they cam ahead by far. my shipment should be here in a week or so and i will do up a post with pics.

They also are sending me the full lip kit with the spoiler painted by one of their contacts so my package will be ready to go (pay alittle more)

See Clarke @ VIPAUTOSALON!!

Two bad fitment lips don't equal a good perfect fit one. It won't be perfect no matter how many lips you buy.

After all the research and talking on this thread I been thinking it's best to get the authentic vertex kit as it was said we drive luxury cars why get cheap n buy something that might not last

All depends on how low you are. If you have an inch clearance, get a replica. I'd hate to spend $700 on a front lip just to scrape it everywhere.
