Ok, so i got a sweet deal on body work and paint. So before the lexus meet in LA im getting it done so its fresh. Im stuck though on asthetics...should I go OEM (im 97+ right now) or should i go with the vertex or shine? I currently have a vented seibon tsII hood (plans for much needed ventilation on the v8 to come ).

so what do yall think, OEM with a custom-ish lip, Vertex or Shine??? Im sitting pretty plush maybe a tad poke right now on 19's.

 

shine autocouture rep kit will always look good

 

Im a big OEM advocate. Doesnt mean it looks like best, Just what I prefer.

Its Polyethylene so if you car is slammed out you can ram it into stuff and it just goes right back into place. Fiberglass just shatters and splinters in to 1000 piece's

 

Good point jdm...good point. I am just unsure if the hood will match the oem body.

 

Wanna hook it up with the body work? I like 97 with lip or shine

 

if your going for a clean look go with auto couture shine or oem 97 with a lip but if you want more of a mean look vertex is the way to go i say the 97 vertex lip kit all around.

 

Sure...lets see how he does with my car. I told him if it was legit im sure more of you would get work done. Group buy...lol

 

I voted for Shine BUT....

Too many Vertex kits. Why not try something similar like the Origin-Lab kits:
Stylish Kit



Stream Kit

 

I want buy Shine Auto Project Front Bumper and Wide Vertex replicas side and rear bumper.. for large wheel!

 

i love origin kits...but they are a little difficult to source. The stream is one i havent seen but i imagine its even more difficult to source. hmm...

 

really? cuz i just searched GOOGLE

Theyre from Florida and I used to buy 240 parts from them. BTW you're welcome

 

i would stick with 97 oem all the way.

No worries about quality, fitment and at a Thousand dollars or so brand new they arent very expensive either

I like the clean look of them also.

 

shine. 97+ in a close 2nd.

 

i think since you have more of an aggressive look with the vented a more agressive kit would be best. i vote origin or vertex

 

Nothing fits like OEM will. I have a Vertex rep on my rear right now and the fitment bothers me. Shine looks like they make a good quality product for our cars - but you can't ignore the fact they're hurting the originators of the kit by doing so. The Origin Stream kit also looks like an interesting option, especially considering the price.

My ranking according to your poll would be:

1. OEM 97+
2. Authentic Vertex
3. Auto Couture or Shine Auto Project
4. Origin Stream
