I agree with montgb.Go with ST Garage man. If you love it, then do it.... It'll bring some variety back.

Thanks for all the input guys!!! After much thought, I think I’m going Vertex! The more I looked at that front lip arch up the way it does, the more it started to bother me. I want my kit to LOWER my car’s look, and the front kinda does it, but that weird upward arch kinda kills it for me.

Anway, thanks guys.

Excellent decision!! As I was reading the threads and thinking "man, this guy is going to pull the trigger on the ST-Garage"
I am glad to read at the end that you are getting the Vertex. I think Vertex will keep your IS looks like a Lexus than Honda Civic.

Thanks! While I genuinely like the ST-Garage, I could see it just being an infatuation or a fad for me. I DO like the way it looks, it transforms the IS into an extremely aggressive looking track car. But that’s just the thing, it may perhaps transform the car a bit tooooo much.

I think if there were less lines in it, and it didn’t arch up in the middle I would’a pulled the trigger before I even thought about making this thread, lol.

Plus, the more and more I look at the Vertex kit done right, ala areukhmer/djkanvict/others... I'm loving it more and more. Clean and simple, while giving the IS that extra low/aggressive look.

It's not hate, it's the truth. If one person out of 100, ok that's hate. Now if everyone said it then it's the truth.
