Yeah, I'd be questionable in terms of quality on that one anyway since they specify it as being "Grade B quality fiberglass"? Not sure on the actual details of that but being as particular as you are, I'd think I'd want something at least "Grade A", don't you agree? I know you are in a rush but I wouldn't force it either to something you might regret or end up replacing anyway due to quality = more $$$$

So what are your thoughts on the Aerosync Bumper I recommended earlier? IMO...if you're planning on getting the OEM anyway, might as well get that one instead.

i'm sure the body shop can modify it to where the edges are rounded.

ok guys...
i have fitted the version select kit on my own car.
it fits pretty good
Extremely well for a replica.
however it is a replica and my car was in a minor fender bender so there is a little gap of approx 1/16 inch on the rear bumper.

I can get these shipped out pretty quick and i also part kits.
let me know if you need anything

No its too late. My shop wont cancel the order on the oem parts [those bastards!] but I am planning on getting the vertex front eventually.


PS If you are shipping, R&D has the best price.

Do-luck, Ings, Vertex share almost the same style for the side. Clean and big.

Lol thanks for the plug

Yep, I have the upper hand on the Vertex container as soon as it gets in. A few of you already know, but Vertex USA are my friends and their marketing director is my business partner. So with that in mind, I also guarantee the best prices, NO dealer out there can match me!

Keep in mind, once this container is all sold out, there is going to be another wait of between 3-8 months to get another shipment

Get it while the gettin is good

If anyone is still interested, let me know. I am only a PM away!
