Vertex is way too common among us SC guys, we need more variety out there!
Pat, I believe in your judgement as it hasn't failed me so far.

i jsut picked up teh copy kit for 150$. Before me getting it i already knew it woudl be a pain to put on and yea i was right the kit doesnt fit to great. It will need alot of work to make fit correctly. If you dont have any hook up at a body shop its prob gonna cost you alot to make fit. So you might as well spend the money and get a real kit. I work at a body shop so its not costing me much to make the kit fit.

wow, for 150? that's not too shabby at all for a full kit, even for a copy. u can't even get front lip from lexus for that price. speaking of 97 fog lights, where's the best place to cop a pair? i was thinking about the local lexus dealership if anything. hey One Hot SC400, i noticed that there's a hottie in your sig! didn't notice it before, ha.

I heard from many members different complaints about VIS..It seems that every kit they make seems to have different flaws to it...Maybe if your lucky you'll get a kit that fits with little headace, if not you might end up with a side skirt falling 8 inches too short or too long...

I remember seeing some pics of a guys car where the bumper was a tad wide and the rear clip extended too far into the rear wheel well. He had said it was very costly to have the body shop fix the errors. Like Din says, if you have a hookup at a body shop then you should be OK. If you don't then it could cost you the same as a real kit overall. Great looking kit though. I love it.

hey indypwr, if you want, ask someone with the vertex or vis kit to measure the height of the side skirts and ill give you measurements of the erebuni lip. thanks

If you guys want to look at the vis kit, look for one of my old post "pic of car and broken part question". I believe i have over 10 pix of that car in that forum. It should give you an idea of how it fit or how mine fit.
