You could always go with Shine, it will fit perfectly.

homeboy says he bought some replica AC kit in another thread. He also mentioned that the rear was a "skirt". I thought AC replicas where all full bumpers, not just skirts?

i'd love to go with shine. but shines creations are just as expensive as true Vertex items. cheaper to go with stock and get a Big Win Lip.

hmmm really. maybe i'll give shines site a 2nd look. i guess my main gripe like other people out there is that its made of fiberglass.

it just can't take a lickin like plastic. a 5mph accident bump and its toast.

Out of curiosity, and fear that 18's will not fill this kit enough, what size wheels are those.

dont worry i dont ball, do my own work on everything you see, friend is painter i do the fitting, sanding, priming, wetsanding and buffing after paint. The kit cost me 1300 shipped from shine if fits decent...not great but decent. I have about 60-80 hours in prep work before we even painted the kit. I cant imagine amount of work it would take an AIT to look half way decent. IF youre cool with just ok...thats fine. I've been there and done that before when i tried to save a few dollars just to regret it later big time. I"ve been in a car game for a long time now and def wont make the same mistakes...people learn from them so will you. Good luck!

You're right. AIT just reps the AC front bumper... Skirts and rear are Vertex reps/generic knockoffs. Shine has the full AC replica kit

Doesn't matter if it fits well if people want the full AC rep. With AIT all you get is the AC front. Fitment isn't bad though on the rear for what you have compared to what I've seen.
