The price on that website cannot be right for the whole kit? If so this is a replica correct ?

Ahhh the only Replica I have seen turn out decent is the Version Select replica b/c there's a guy in KC i know who has that kit. Not that bad of a fitment for $1k less than Vertex. This kit can't be that good for ONLY $379???? WTF??? Even the Version Select replica is like 900+ after shipping. I think this won't turn out like you hope it will unless you have a kick @ss body shop! Good luck though!

I'm not worried at all really. If it doesnt fit well i will make the adjustments needed, I will take pics and do a step by step unless it has been allready done. Plus i am not skilled in installing either so when i do complete this project and I WILL complete this just to show anyone is capable of such a thing.

I will also be adding a carbon fiber hood oem style.
cant decide on which spoiler to get???
