replica pieces are never the same...even from the same vendor. I know from experience. Save and go with the real thing

My Vizage Type fits exactly like the real thing and cost me 736 shipped for the entire kit. It's more about the skill level of your bodyshop. Granted, I'm sure tere are kits out there with poor fitment. Stay away from 100% fiberglass. Mine is a hybrid.

Intense only sells the real deal. Totally worth it!

naw...they have the replica called version select or something. The real deal vertex is made out of 100% fiberglass right? I might jus go ahead and save up for the real deal if its the hybrid type.

no its not the Origin kit. Look it up on their site. Its called Version Select. I think ED also makes one out of duraflex called V-speed. Since I dont want my kit to crack I might just take a chance with the ED version and pay for the fitment imperfections. Hopefully its not that bad. what do you guys think?
