You guys shouldn't support people like them. I remember so many people on Clublexus that have had bad experiences. Also once they get your money they no longer know you. T&E is a respectable company that makes quality kits. T&E Vertex make their prices the way they are because that's what it takes for them to stay alive.

fake kits tha tdo not fit are just plain garbage.
There is a reason why quality costs.
let's take two vehicles that are predominantly the same......
-ford expedition
-lincon navigator
big price difference, similar look overall in most respects, same interior is used, but changed slightly with lot's of accents, ..... you can still tell you are in a ford.
same engines basically, trannies, etc...
The lincon has a double lined frame, the ford has a single lined frame. The lincon can take a hit over 20 mph faster from any angle and the damage will only be half of that of the expedition's damage.
the moral of the story? ......... drive a lincon
......... ok no wait, the moral of the story..... you get what you pay for.
you finally get your "imitation" bumper and skirts on, then they crack the first time the wind blows because they are not reinforced properly like the "quality bumper and skirts" are.
so they fit like siht, break when a bird sit's on them, and cost you $1,000.00 to get to fit AFTER you have paid to buy them in a seperate transaction.......
Imitation cheese does not taste like Velveta.

I'm confused. Is this the same kit? You guys are talking about the Vertex Kit
I hear about the vertex, the vis, and the JIC magic kit.
I can never distinguish all of them. Can someone explain?
I think VIS is the cheap one that peopel complain of as a knock off.
If you notice the bodykit in this thread...it's more angular
The Blue car's front grill seems more round.
I like the blue car's grill. I want to know which one that is so I can get it =)
If someone can help clarify..that would be great.

the VIS is the knock-off of the Vertex kit and the JIC kit is a whole different bodykit, one that alot of people including myself have.
the blue car has the vertex front bumper

So what are the differences between the Vertex and JIC magic Kit.
They look very similar.
Does someone have comparative pictures?

the imitation vis kit look a lot nicer than the jic and vertex kits. Why do you guys spent thousands of dollar for higher quality kits that probably last about a year or two. All kits crack the same way if you went over a bump. Oh, by the way, it is the same for rims. I bet 90% of you guys in here have imitation rims too. I know this because i watch "pimp my ride". I am new in here, don't hate me( just my opinion).

people have their own taste, i understand that people are on budgets and can't afford the mods that come for our cars, but that doesn't mean they should rush and get imitation stuff, we have high end cars, doesn't that mean we should get high end mods also?

I've noticed these past few months that the value for early model SC's have depreciated greatly...They have become very affordable for the younger crowd..Hence, I have heard countless members nagging about how pricey rims and mods are for these cars...You most certainly don't expect top quality products for a small price...

If you read and examine the thread you will see that LEXBOGGY has a huge fitment issue with his rear lip...Thus, proving once again, "You get what you paid for"
