lol.
du lock and vortex.
talk about original names.

General consensus states that the ebay copies have horendous fitment issues. There was a post a couple days back showing the mounting of his ebay kit. The rear skirts were a few inches too long sticking in towards the wheel.
Most people say that the money you save will be spent in body work getting the kit to fit right. Also, The fiberglass usually isnt up to par with standards so it will crack at just the site of a pothole.

Talking

well.....i know vertex has been talked about before regarding fitments...........but i guess
this "vortex" kit thy're selling on ebay is about the same material and same fitment dilemmas....

maybe thy meant to advertise "vertex" instead of "vortex"...........hehehe


good to know!!!

im thinking if you dont drive your car too much, it should be ok to get the replica kits and pay some extra money for fitment issues, but if you daily drive your car, that increases the chances of it getting f^cked up real quick and real easily. the decidion is entirely up to you, i think you should talk to LEXBOGGY, he recently bought a knockoff kit and had to custom fit it on his SC.

Default lexus bodykit

I don't know much about the Lexus bodykit but i got one anyway from a site called Lexuspros.com.The one i purchased was called the veilside body kit and i had it on for over a year and it's still in pretty good shape. I don't know if this helps much but this site and lexuspros.com are the only sites i visit for all my lexus needs.

no offense but Veilside makes the ugliest and most distasteful products. except the extremely light teardrop titanium exhaust, but even that is ugly.
