Vertex Full Kit FTW!

I slso like the Wald kit, but unless you are going with that stance I dont think it will look good. IMO.

Regardless to the kit, my setup is going to be like the WALD setup. I am trying to go with the VIP look. My current kit wont allow that by design and looks. I currently have a VERY aggressive look. I am trying to decide if I should swap out the hood as well. My hood is a CF cutout hood like the RS hood. I dont know if that would be too aggressive for those kits and the style I am going for.

I agree, the origin kit looks like the vertex and it cheaper but the rear bumper setup I am not sure if I like that, the way it hugs the reverse lights.

Wald looks good if the car is dumped,otherwise it looks too close to stock.

It is a sexy kit, but I am not sure that you can pull off a VIP look with that kit.

That is my chief complaint, my position on this kit is, when driving around, i cant drive it as low as the car sits in the pics. And for $1800+ for this kit, I want it to look good when I am driving and sitting.

I think that is why I listed this kit 3rd. I do have them ranked in order of my favorites.

Now I am considering the Origin kit. I wasn't thinking about that kit since a guy in my car club has that kit, but then I thought, i am moving to Hawaii and when my car goes into the shop to get the kit put on, it wont be coming back here so no one will see it.

Heck the Origin kit is alot cheaper than the other kits too.

One thing that concerns me most is knock offs. I dont want to buy a knock off.

What about the Origin Front and vertex full sides and rear. I think that would solve the problem. I love the origin kit, but the vents on the side in this pic give it an aggressive look over clean VIP. The vip look requires you to keep things closed over open. No vents. The front bumper is pushing it.



Any thought on that idea?

I always vote for Vertex. If you want that "VIP" Style then check out Dat's ride.





My gripe about the Origin is that the front is knock-off of the Vertex and sides and rear are knock-offs of the Ings+1 LX lip kit.

As for the "VIP" look, a key component is to have your car dumpt to the ground but yet it seems like you don't wanna do that.

I'd also suggest the Junction Produce lip kit... Come on now, what's more VIP than Junction Produce.


These pics show the kit in Carbon Kevlar to accentuate the kit.
Also check out KDV Burnout Lip kit. Rare as ***!


Again, the right kit will get you half way there, but VIP is all about the stance(DUMPT!) and aggressive offsets( 0 or -) and crazy stretch (235/35/20 on an 11" wheel).

I also believe when the VIP look is applied to a sports compact it's known as LUX.

I agree that the origin kit front does look alot like the vertex kit. I didnt know which came first though.

I really like that Junction Produce lip kit. I think that carbon Kevlar would look hot on my PPW car. I actually do want to dump my car and drive it hella low. But I am moving to hawaii and the roads there are lets just say, not so forgiving and I need to be able to raise and lower my car. But if the roads allow it, I plan on ridding something like this.

I hope these guys dont mine me posting their cars. They are pure sex. I want to do my own thing but these are my inspiration.
