Hi Bro,

Not worth the money, l got my Tom's 09 kits for US$2.2K with installation and paint. Alternatively, my personal opinion is to look for other kits.

Cheers

If you can be a little patient, Vertex is in the works for the 09 kit. The prototype is done, but the production details need to be worked out. If i hear anything i'll post up. The Vertex kit fits perfect.
On a side note, Japan kits can definitely be very expensive, especially if its got VIP undertones. Junction Produce retails for around that. Anyway, you gotta pay to be the first or be original. Good luck.

Well, today, Fortissimo made the effort to call me back
They actually went and found someone who spoke decent english and had them call me, like she doesn't even work for their company, she was just doing them a favor, I give them props for that.
Anyways, I told them it was really pricey and they offered to lower the price to 2700 US bills from 4800 US. Sooo I might actually consider getting the kit!
I'd be original? xD

anyone got any input?
They said they'd email me the total price with shipping (cheapest of course, I dont mind waiting)

How did you contact them, and were you able to see their website or something? Because I been trying to find it with no luck.

If you spend 5k for a lip kit, might as well get a different car.

2700US for a full Fortissimo kit is actually not bad, considering a kit from a Japanese tuner.
Plus you get to be exclusive since alot of people have GFX, Ings, Wald, etc

I called them up

I just realized this thread is extremely old! I already chose my lipkit, its an 06-08 replica Ings +1 kit, modded to fit the 09s



Lowered the car a bit more recently, but no new pictures yet
