Default Is there Vertex replica????

Hey guys I need help, I was wondering if anyone knows which company makes or sell vertex replica kit for my IS 250. Also if do they do good work and use good material to make with good fitment, dont want something that doesn't fit. Thanks CL

Do a search for Nextmod. They are from Canada. I heard front lip fitment is supposed to be horrible. However, a member here got the first 09 Vertex lip and he had perfect fitment.

I believe it is made of fiberglass.

Vertex replica fits horrible, it takes forever to receive (about 5 months), they crack very easily, and to top it off they're more expensive than authentic because of how rare they are.

Funny how OP contradicted himself in the same sentence. Not bashing, just saying. You can't expect to buy a rep and it to fit perfectly.

I agree with all the above buy original VERTEX may seen expensive at first but in the long run the replica may cost you more..

WTF!!! I have vertex replica on my ride and it was a minor problem fitment on bumper... NOthing major wrong with them and Ive had them for 2 months... I dont get it, buy a real one can lose money from broken tire, missing big junk piece and whatever on the road can break the real lip.. I rather buy fake lip because Im riding slam and I drive careful on the road... HEre is the pic:
