Default VERTEX GS Video and Tribute Thread

I found this video on Youtube and had to share. This is a bad azz Vertex GS! This has inspired me to ask everyone else to post pics and videos of GS' with Vertex kits. I know we have some here on CL.

That's not a Vertex kit. It's a Vertex edition Aristo. Nice video though. What a clean car. I like how subtle the rear fender bodywork is.

Hey Chrispy how can you tell the difference aside from the widebody rear it looks just like a Vertex to me.

That is a sweet GS! If I owned that car, I would be too scared to drive it around town in fear of putting a scratch on it. Yes, the rear fender flare work is very subtle but looks real good.

LOL. But the rap is JDM. I used to hate the grill but honestly it's not a bad looking grill. People hate on it because it's a "Benz" grill. If Mercedes didn't exist, people would love the Kazz grill.

As for the body kit, the front bumper and sideskirts are clearly not Vertex. The rear bumper kind of looks like it but the exhaust cutouts aren't there and the body line is more distinct.

That video makes me want to go back to coilovers.
