Nobody molded the Vertex rear. People did the INGS, Tom's and Fabulous. Be the first with Vertex.

I thought about it a while ago and had somebody photoshop it. It looks horrible IMO.

BTW the reflectors are also shaved which I did end up doing.

I thought about molding it too when my entire rear got sprayed but just never did. The white one looks better than the silver in these two photo shop pics. Maybe cause there is still a ridge on the silver and the black in the center.

Mold it smooth and get rid of the ridge. I think it would look nice.

For an example of a perfect molded lip check out john's blue ISF with molded Wald front lip. Makes the normal lip look hideous! Lol

And that's the only reason I don't have a kit, The lip kits (in the rear), just look too "tacked on" to me ... The only kit I'd get is artisan spirits, bumper replacement ftw

Yup... 4k + shipping + paint + install = I'm not baller enough to buy it LOL

That kit is amazing though... I'd defiantly get it if I could afford it.

i think if i can get the shop to mold with no ridge or lines it might look nice. it has to be a flush bumper. can you photoshop that white is piture above with the black painted bottom.

For some reason I like the ridge. If it was molded it might look kinda funny IMO. But that photoshop pic with the black center doesn't look bad at all

Molding looks funny in this case.
