Default Real Digna Vertex sides

I've seen a few places but just thought Id ask those who got the real deal where you purchased it from? Is the material fiberglass? For the sides, is everything included for a simple swap or is it something I'm going to have to rig up to make fit? Comes unpainted correct? I have a 2011 so I plan to use the vertex sides, Gfx rear (comes painted) and as of now I dont have much to choose from as a lip for front other than the F-sport and the JC sportline but I dont think either of them match very well.

Thanks for helping a brother out.

The sides come unpainted and are fiberglass. It comes predrilled making it a easy swap.

She's my friend jessica and I'll vouch for her. Brand new and never installed.

sorry for the bump, but I have another question about the vertex / digna or next mod v style sides. I know the sides are attached by a screw in the inner fender wells, but how does the side attach to the car? Do they attach similar to OEM sides or does it just use 3m tape to stick to the side?

You use the existing screw on both ends,underneath,& underneath the weather strip on top of the rocker panel.

Awesome, I was hoping there was no 3m tape involved.

thats what scares me about the rear lip...I seen some (only in pics) that the GFX lip is a nice clean install, some I seen there is a small gap on the corners of the rear bumper. having a 2011 its trial and error for the drilling mounting points for the rear lip and i dont want to have to worry about the tape eventually coming off. I just dont to have a real nice car and having **** fall off or stuck on with tape. It seems though If I get the vossen CV3's a lip kit would help the 20's look better on the car.
I got the F-sport front spiltters, I dont know how good those would look with vertex sides and GFX rear. All the other full lips Ive seen for the 2011's they just look like fitament would be so so, and I have to have perfect fitament..no gaps.

On the rear gfx kit you can use 3m tape. I did that on my 250 and no gap. Plus it lasted 2 1/2 yrs in the cold below zero winter here. I rather 3m than have four ugly holes on my back bumper. But that just me.

I rather test fit and trim if needed and then epoxy that sucker on. People worry too much about lease return or parting out. Just leave it on there FOREVER!

I think a lip kit does help with 20s...but both look badass

^ this is torture...I want those wheels

OP: When I was looking for Vertex sides for my car I found that Luxury Mods was the cheapest that I've seen. Free shipping too

Ive got the funds to buy any wheels I want..I just cant see myself spending that much on wheels. The CV3 price is ok, but I just wish they were in a 19. The car posted above without the vertex kit is an AWD..I think mine will look little better. I have a 2011 TP and I want to get the matte silver to match. Guess I'll pull the trigger next week on the wheels.
