Check out the actual vertex usa website to understand what they mean by kouki.

You need 08 headlights, because they used an 08 grille.

The headlights and grille and foglights and markers are another 2k and change...AND this is only for the front, the sides and rear are another 2k.


Add the cost of a good paint job/installation/body alignment, you are looking at 10k for the conversion total.

That's if you do it right. If you do it all janky, well, at least you used authentic parts.

well thats not bad. i would like the whole kit tho. i think it makes the car look more complete. my only concern wuld be if u purchase the kit from from vertex it looks like its only for the Aristo which is single exhaust. does anyone kno if they will offer a bumper to accommodate the duals on the GS, or shuld i jus call n ask them?

well the kit comes with more than jus the bumper. it comes with the vertex side skirts too. i guess its not to much of a difference from the other kit for lyk $2K less BUT i guess the main thing is getting the hood and front bumper/fenders
