They don't offer a L version of the side skirts. Looks legit though

the real wald front isn't that expensive...

http://page19.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/j...ion/x224873798

$508 before shipping, and shipping isn't that much via EMS.

anyway, i think you'll be much more satisfied with the real thing rather than settling for a knock off. i'd rather buy a used lip or stay stock than get an ED lip, but that's just me. good luck with whichever path you choose to take :P

Vertex is a pretty legit/known/liked company. and i believe their fitment is usually pretty good. but search for others that have their kit on your car, theres gotta be at least a few. go with them. the only thing i dont like about them is that (im pretty sure) theyre FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) which cracks rather than bends.

vertex is legit (but more known for drift car parts) -- they're a sub-brand of takahiro ueno's car make T&E.

Let me know if you are interested in this lip, not only will I give you a better price, but if this lip doesn't fit with the minor modifications that are required with any aftermarket kit, then you can exchange it or get a refund.

If you used the search button for more then just reading the OP and moving on to the next, you would see that we are also "notorious" for helping our customers out. We understand mistakes happen and when its our fault, the customer will never be responsible. If the part is defective in anyway they can always return it hassle free.

I had the extreme dimension kit for my LS and I had to return it. They say minor modification but that means the body shop will have to fill the gaps which will cost more money for the install. Sorry, but the fitment is terrible compared to Wald which will require no filling at all. I should know because I had both. Get Wald and if you don't have the money, save up.

Every kit that is made turns out a bit different, every part is hand made and trimmed. Sometimes one piece may require more work then the next, thats why we offer a hassle free exchange. Sometimes customers just don't want to deal with the exchange so we offer a full 100% refund too. You don't have to spend the money to major mods, that is what I am trying to point out.

Yeah but when it came time for me to return mine, it was a big hassle. Had to take/send multiple pictures. Had to hunt you down, it took almost two weeks for you to decide to accept the return. Rude emails from a female receptionists, and there was going to be a restock fee. I got a full refund because my bank took it from you! It should not be that hard especially when you admit it requires modification and you say everyone is different.

Oh, I forgot, by the time you realize that it requires filling, you normally don't have the boxes to return them so I had to pay for boxes and shipping, $200 plus dollars. If you stand behind your product you should send an RMA because your average person doesn't have an account to ship things at a discount.
