Default Vertex Replica?

So as i was looking at a few body kits, i knew already that i liked the vertex kit except i dont really like the rear bumper. So i was looking at the Vertex rear spoiler and in the pic for that spoiler, the vertex rear bumper is different.

Diff Rear Bumper:

First off, what bumper is that?
And second, Is this a vertex replica. The only diff i noticed was the rear.

Replica?:

If anyone has any pics of that replica, can you plz post them so i can see if they are actually diff at all. The Front bumper looks a tiny bit different but im not sure. PLz post pics if you have. And what is the rear bumper pictured in the vetex spoiler pic?

the blue z is the do luck rear bumper. it also has a carbon fiber/urethane diffuser, which idk if itll come w/ a replica. tread carefully when dealing w/ fiberglass.

the 'replica' kit you asked about is not a vertex replica. it is a separate company that manufactures that 'original' kit, even though it basically is the vertex front, w/ the rest being an ings +1 copy. Great quality stuff though, and fits really well.

there's a few good shots of the full kit installed if you search for the thread "WOW Kakimoto’s new drifter 350z ". I'm at school right now, but can post pics later of the same front bumper installed on my SB.

The front of the Origin kit looks more rounded and less aggressive in the pictures on the websites. Is that just those pics or is it really alittle more rounded?

it (front bumper) is exactly the same as the vertex, minus the slightly more slanted side vents.

^ then it's not "exactly" the same as the vertex then is it? HAHAHA just fuking with you man.

as for your signature saying "completely shaved rear".... well that's pretty funny too. HAHAHA Hope you're a longhorn!

On serious note. The rear bumper shown with the vertex spoiler is the do-luck body kit's rear bumper with the CF diffuser. As for the Orign bumper, they are popular in the 240/180sx/Silvia community. Pretty good quality from what I hear. As for vertex full bumper kit, it's a beautiful kit. In terms of replica's for that kit, the only one I've heard anything good about is the kit that comes from Shine Auto. Becareful with replicas though and just be aware that it may not fit perfectly without work like authentic body kits. Good luck.
