Default RMM or Vertex

I'm having a dilemma between two kits...
I really didn't dig the RMM at first but looking at Bluelex and RMMGS4 and they look really tight. Far as Vertex they also look stunning, looks a lot more aggressive and quality rare JDM kit.
I'm going to purchase one of them in couple of days and I really need your advice....

Thanks in advance,

Thats a tough choice. Most would probably choose the Vertex. Are you planning on doing any FI in your future? I only ask cuz the vertex has a big open mouth and if you leave it empty it looks just that empty, where as the RMM gives you a smooth classy look. Now if your see yourself with FI in your Future than I say Vetex over the Rmm, I just went through the same dilema, I wanted something to show off the front mount and the Rmm front wasn't big enough for what I wanted. As far as sides and rear the RMM is so smooth yet stylish where as the Vertex is very wide and agressive needing aggressive wheels offsets and exhausts to fill it in right. tough choice man.

this i can agree 1000000% with

i had the RMM sides and rear and nothing retains the somewhat stock look with just that perfect

added touch of class

but to be honest the front of the RMM made me think the fogs were to close together or too far in

bluelex,
Are you using stock fog lights, if not what are you using????
Also I'll be using Tanabe catback exhaust and tips are at least 3", and can the RMM rear bumper have enough clearance???
How much should I expect to pay for the paint and labor???

Thanks,
