Cool [PICS] GTNPU Z: Vertex, Blitz Wing, iForged, Hotchkis, Wilwood,...(56K Warning!!!)

Hi Everyone,

Finally took a few shots of my Vertex Kit I had installed just recently. I'm still waiting on my Blitz Wing to come in (ETA Mid Aug.). But I'll post it here once I get it (hence why I already included it on the title). Also on order is the Varis CF B-Pillars (Tuesday) & Bat's Taillight Overlays (Later this afternoon). Already had the iForged & Hotchkis but added it to the title just to help with anyone doing searches. I will post more pics later today. Enjoy!

Special thanks to:
Dat at Speed Alliance
CustomCarGrills.com
Blitz North America
Tommy's Autobody

Specs:
Kit - Full Bumper Vertex Kit
Suspension - Hotchkis Stage 1 TVS Kit (Approx. .8"-1" drop) & Koni Yellow Sports Shocks
Wheels - iForged Evolutions (Polished) 20x9(F) + 20x10(R)
Tires - BFG KDW2 255/35(F) 285/30(R)

Please excuse the dust. I've been parking under a tree today...

Lookin good, James!! I really like the colormatched Mirror bases... Nice and subtle, but way easier to keep looking nice.

Thanks everyone! Can't wait to get my Blitz Wing to bring everything together . The OEM spoiler looks tiny now that I installed the kit. Yeah, I'm glad that I decided to do the color matched side-mirror bases. That part bothered me the most when I'm washing my car. I always had to put some kind of tire gloss or armor all to keep it nice an shiny. It always seemed to give off a dull look if I don't. Now it's definitely easier to maintain.

Looks awesome!!! Can't wait to get my Vertex front. Did the mesh in the bumper come with or did you have it added on? Once again, that's hot!!!

Thanks everyone!

LOL Vinh .

350Mark, I got my grill from CustomCarGrills.com. They have very good Customer Service & shipping. No issues at all with them & the quality is very good. I got their Big Sample Pack first so I can play around on which one I wanted. If you order this, they'll give you a $5 dollar discount towards your next purchase. Price for this sample kit is $5 as well (So essentially the kit is free. You just need to pay for shipping). You can pretty much get any style grill powder coated black for an extra fee. I personally got the powdercoated black Hexagon Grill Mesh XXL which I think is perfect. In order for you to install the grill (especially on the center vent), you'll need to slightly modify your front bumper.

Nice looking ride there! Is it the angle the picture was taken, but in the first picture the side skirts look like it doesnt match up to the paint?
