Couple Pics of My Vertex Kit
It took me about 7 hours to put in on and get it all lined up. Had to move the p/s cooler and some other brackets and what not. Haven't washed it yet but here are a couple of pics.
Definately have to get an exhaust now my tips are hidden.

Im gonna take more pics once it stops raining and I get a chance to wash it. I got it from Speed Alliance the first kit they sent got damaged so I had to wait a couple of weeks for more kits to come in. Im glad I waited because the fitment and quality of the kit is really good. The kit cost around $1,900 including shipping. Then you have paint and install, I installed it myself because I work at a shop and have access to lifts after hours, otherwise I would have just let the body shop do it.
Dropping is the next thing on the list but I have to redo my driveway first, I cant make it up the slope now without boards. And Long Island roads are just filled with potholes. Thanks for the comps, Steve

Congrats, you car looks hot!!! That is my favorite front bumper!!! Does Speed Alliance sell the kit seperately? I'm thinking of going with the Vertex front,Greddy sides, and ? rear.

I have 19"s up front and 20"s in the rear. I might have to order 20's for the front too cause the fronts look tiny with the kit on. I'm gonna get the nismo exhaust I love that stock sound. And the nismo resembles it but I don't think the tips are gonna come out far enough so I'm gonna cut the tips off and weld on an inch or two inch extention to bring them out a little bit.

The first kit that I ordered took about two weeks to get from Ca to Ny. The guy delivering the kit was like "it doesn't look good." I was like wtf, sure enough the box looked liked someone was jumping up and down on it. The rear bumper was cracked so I sent it back. Needless to say I ended up getting this kit like 6 weeks later. If your lucky enough that they have a kit in stock it shouldn't take long to get. But, if they have to order it you could be waiting up to three months, because they only order kits once every three months.
I had a body shop I used to work at paint the kit so he didn't charge me anything, just had to pay for paint. The quality is very good, The side skirts I were able to flex like 45deg without snapping(fiberglass). Stupid as it sounds I didn't prefit the kit. I had it painted and just put it on. There is one line that is off a little on the back bumper, but I was pretty impressed at how easy it went on.
