i thought they made one. i realized that when i went to their sites. looks like neither of them make a Vertex type bumper.

i'll have to shell out some major money to buy a vertex usa bumper

omg they want 1135 just for the bumper.... damn thats gonna take me a while to save up. i could do so many horsepower modifications for that much.

Gotta pay to play, especially if you want the real thing.

save your money and buy shine...just test fitted my stuff and the fitment is great. Needed some work on the rear bumper and side skirts to make them fit perfect but the front has no gaps anywhere and fit like a glove.

Default its the rear

done with the rear lip no porblems there, minus not being made for 97+ but other than that pretty good fit just some minor tweaking.
