20s unstaggered is almost a fail. Slap the spacers on to give it some balance in the stance. The front is mondo aggressive and the rear is looking conservative with all of your camber from the drop.

All in all, it looks pretty sweet. Black wheels with a polished lip on a black car is nice.

Please please please... put hubcentric spacers on the rear to make them sit nicely with the guards. The only thing I can criticise about the kit is the front bar (I shudder at the location of the grille...) other than that though it's looking neat.

thanks to everyone else for the positive feedback and suggestions.
Well, you asked for feedback...we're just being honest. Using fake parts or supporting companies that are "well known in the industry" for making money by stealing other companies designs...I may sound harsh but it's the truth and it's just not something I cannot look favorably upon. If that's offensive to you, just imagine how offensive your car is to the owners of Vertex...

All in all, you said it yourself, the car is thrown together on a small budget and well...it shows.

Looking good. That's the exact same kit I have. At the time I got the kit I didn't know any better and didn't know this was a knock off of something else. Anyways I'm dumping this kit. I've already ordered an authentic kit but it's not gonna be here for another 6-8 weeks.

You mentioned that you're buying the OEM grill and fogs. I'm not sure the grill will fit. I would recommend you dump the chicken wire and do what I did. It's mesh I bought from Autobacs.

Here's how my grill looks... 10x better than the chicken wire that came with it. Also, there is limited space since the grill opening is higher than it's supposed to be, so the stock emblem wont fit. What I did was bought an emblem for Lexus' wheel caps, sanded it down so it was flat and 3M taped it on.



Here's a pic with the emblem:

yeah man, them chicken wires are all badd. they should stay on civics and integ (i had an integ i have the rights to say that haha) I think it'll look much cleaner w/o them chicken mesh, but to each their own taste, different ppl like different coffee, w/e do what you feel is right but try not to get too offended if the community disapprove you.

other than the grill, i think it looks pretty good!

I like it, but I would slap on a OEM grill and get rid of the mesh on the bumper

Getting Vertex fenders?

I didn't order my new kit from Speed Alliance. It's not going to be Vertex. I think VIS put the grill higher so that they can say that it's their own and not an exact copy.
