Default VIS Vertex Style KIT

VERTEX- Fiberglass, Fits good, $2000-$2500
VIS- Fiberglass, needs modifications to fit, $800

Vertex (real deal)
Fits perfectly.. the real deal... and yeah the real deal... If you want it perfect w/o any mods, look no further......

VIS KIT
Here is the VIS copy. Needs modifications to fit.. If you have no idea what you are doing... Do not get this kit... You will end up paying a shop alot of money to make it fit. If you want it to be perfect, do not get this kit. This kit does not flush well when you do get it to fit, unless you are some kind of pro. It is alot cheaper, but does require medium modifications... This is not a thin kit though... It will take a beating... Not so well customer support.

I hope this helps out, please feel free to add anything else you notice...

Now the decision is yours......

not really on topic, but...

i thought i either saw your car or your friend's car yesterday in alhambra. but when i got closer to it, i noticed that some of this person's lights don't work and part of the kit was not fitting correctly...part of the front bumper was falling off or something. it looked terrible. and the car was extremely dirty with dusty sc400 stock wheels. looked bad. he probably should have put money into keeping his car in decent condition instead of buying a kit...probably from vis.

your car looks awesome though.

i don't know if they were chrome...they looked either very dirty or someone painted them dark or something. it was at night. one headlight didn't work (or maybe they were just aimed badly), i think one tail-light didn't work, and the front looked like it was about to fall off. it also had an exhaust.

off topic but...... how come all the sc's in your team have the same color and kit? ..... kinda defeats the purpose of individuality
