Cyco, don't you have a Vertex kit on your car? Or is your sig picture not your car? lol

IMO, the Vertex kit is the cleanest looking sporty styled kit, that's why I have it on my car...no bias here or anything .
I mean, there are the really aggressive looking kits like the Veilside among a few others but honestly those do not flow with the car at all. Cleanest looking sporty kit...Vertex

Not to take away from the people who do have the vertex kit. But we just don't see Quest power. It was one of the first kits I fell in love with, and I still am. Been seriously considering Quest aero but thats just not going to happen right now. I've got other things pending first. Sooner or later...

Picture of said body kit? I need to outfit my other GS with something a bit more stylish than stock. I was thinking another Vertex kit, but that might be redundant lol.

Honestly I think stock bodied with minor additions makes for the cleanest look, it can still be sporty without huge vents and openings. There is something to be said for clean lines and aggressive stance (and please don't confuse aggressive for the VIP wheel fad).

I think the L-sportline rear is the best, whatever look you're going for. As for the rest of the body, it's hard to make the GS look sporty.

Nope. I'd rock the Vertex over the Quest if I was going for the sport look.

The fact that the Quest is "more rare" in terms of CL trends is honestly trival and just like ruffin' your feathers if you don't truly love the look. *which i subjectively don't in comparison to the Vertex*

Go with what looks best on this car and don't concern yourselves with what everyone else has or thinks is unique. The fact that the Vertex kit is one of the most popular says alot about the line. Fact is, we are in the CL World where trends come and go quickly, but in the real world our modded 2GSs' grab alot of attention (even in Hollywood).

Personally, if I was to scrap my TTE front lip, I'd go JP or Wald Executive.
