Default Body kit opinions - 3 choices HELP

1) Full Vertex
2) USDM Nismo w/ V2 front
3) CWest lip kit in CF

Whats are your opinions? I have my own argument for and against each? Here are some current pics of my car. I'm planning on having the hood painted with some cf showing (probabably the vents)

I had also thought of going with the Weber rear if I went with the CWest sides and front but I would want to know for sure if the weaves matched.

Jim, I had considered them when I saw them but I'd really like to see them on a car before I spend that much. I'm very particular about what kit I choose. Its hard enough for me to decide between 3 kits I've seen on cars nevermind one I haven't seen attached to a car. If you have some pics I could consider. The pieces look really nice though, top notch!

C-west for sure out of those 3 choices especially since you are SB!

1) Vertex is too plain jane and with your color...it's like having no kit at all. It also looks like a Chevron car from the front. SMILE!!!
2) Everybody and your momma will have this since replica companies are flooding the boards with this stuff.
3) Refer to nitrouz's pic thread FTW

Yea, see I'm leaning away from the CWest because I don't wanna be accused of coping Nitrouz. I orginally thought of doing the same thing he had done but with the Carbon Creations Nismos style sides and rears. Then I was reading that their fitment is really bad so that idea went out the window. I really like the way he had his car but its not too original to do the same thing. Who knows, I could still end up going in that direction.

Thanks for the feedback so far. More opinions???

You can get the same kit which is no big deal, but what will make you different is how you compliment the kit with different parts. That is the fun of building up your car with your style

I'm honestly not sure of the offset measurments but we are running the same inch wise front and back. Its the 14" Stop Tech kit. Fits like a glove. You should be fine with the same.
