Default Vertex Ridge Widebody Kit

I found it at this website...

http://www.fetchgarage.com/soarer/


but its very very expensive, has anyone heard of fitment issues with this kit or have any pictures of it on an actual car, not with sponsor crap all over it.

I wanna know if i can get it anywhere cheaper also

Taken from a thread where somebody wants the AC kit to be cheaper

You gotta pay to play, you can't always get the good stuff for cheap...it's not how the world works. This is a buyer/seller market, not everyone can get "hooked up".

Fitment? I have never had a Ridge Widebody before but the Vertex front lip that I used to have, had the perfect fit. I also never heard any complaints from people who bought REAL Vertex body kits. This is known by everybody, you pay for the quality and fitment of body kits and the name too.

I think your intelligence should be used to find those cheap kits. I mean, it is the most intelligent way to go about it, instant answers and all.

intelligence ftw?

there are only two ways to learn.

1.) Through your experiences
2.) Through others' experiences

The latter is always valid here i believe. If he has looked and cant find it anywhere else cheaper, then i think it is perfectly valid and intelligent to ask on a forum where he may be able learn a cheap place through the experience of others. Although i believe he should only ask if he has looked at least a little bit himself (this i dont know, and wont assume)

intelligence diffidently ftw



sorry man i dont know where either

try Bulletproof... 310-327-7636 ask for John. He can probably help you out... or at least point you to the right direction.

speedalliance is probably the best way to go since they are the licensed US distributor besides they're only like 10 min away from my house. ohh and fitment i can't speak for this particular kit but vertex quality is unsurpassed. You should definitely have no problems.

he said 150$ a box shipping, and it required two boxes bc its so huge...

2-3 months waiting time on getting it

are you even prepared to get the wide low offset wheels that are needed to make that kit look good? cuz they are not cheap and neither are the tires.

+1

The wheels and tires will be pretty darn spendy.
