Okay. As some of you may have already known, I've been waiting on my order of the Full Vertex Bodykit. I ordered it on 03/28 & was said it would take roughly 6-8 weeks (so that should be around mid-late May). Since I'm an anxious ****, I called the shop up today to get a status. To my dismay, apparently their shipment has been delayed which means I won't be able to get it until mid-late June
. The good thing is they have my Blitz Wing but I don't want to touch it until the rest of the stuff comes in. My JGTC style hood should also arrive towards the end of this month but it'll have to sit around until the rest of my stuff come in. I just want to have everything painted at the same time. I know some of you are waiting for some OEM parts I'm planning to sell as soon as I get this kit on so I appologize for the delay. Man...waiting sucks
! I just can't wait to put everything together. Sorry, just had to vent.

I got it at Bozz Performance in Union City. They were referred to me by Speed Alliance who is their main distributor & certified vendor for this kit. I don't blame the shop, I know that shipping from overseas can be a b*tch.
=( Sux bro....cant wait to see the final look. Oh well..I'm sure you know already the fun is sorta the waiting period. Once you have the kit on you'll have seen the pics online soo many times it wont even phase you haha.
Just trying to cheer ya up.

Thanks everyone. Yeah, I'm just anxious to finally put my exterior goodies on already. Besides, gotta catch up to Bubble on pimping out the Z. Right Bubble
? Hehehe.
hehehe...hey Jame, remember JBT brake? they have 380mm for front and 355mm for rear. Price pretty decent. I can get some sweat deal out of it. Are you interesting in getting them too? if you are, we can buy together and the price will even going down. Much cheaper than rotora and stoptech and you will have rear at 355mm rotor. Choice of 355/380mm front and 355mm rear. Let me know.

.I'll probably pass though since my next project is my engine. I already have the Stoptech Stage 2 Kit which should be good for now & I know those BBK will cost a pretty penny. Thanks for the offer though! As soon as I get my kit installed, I'll be specing out everything I need to prep for the APS TT or ST
. Like many, I'm hoping they'll get a CARB # soon. *Wishful Thinking*

There's a few I have in mind including the shop you went to. All of which are highly referred shops but I'll have to see what kind of pricing they'll give me as well as color matching guarantees.
Do you think you could PM me what you paid for the kit? I am going to order today and tomorow and I don't want to over pay. Right now I have not found anything much better than retail.
