my full knock off vertex kit is on the way and a local shop just told me they can get me the origin front bumper for 300 bucks shipped to hawaii, which is pretty awesome.

i cant picture it in my head but origin front bumper with vertex side skirts and rear bumper?

the origin is almost the same as the vertex front, only it doesnt have a spot for foglights and the front opening is a bit taller, i think it will work since they are close enough in appearance

the origin bumper just flows more nicely imo, i might do it.
just dont know if its worth the extra $300.

am i going to have a fitment problem with my 92 sc fog lights with the vertex front bumper? im not even sure if my car has fog lights or if those are the turn signal lights

np20412

the 92 has cornering lights only, not fog, and yes the vertex front will only fit the 97+ foglights so you will need to buy those and wire them up

You will need the 97+ foglights as well as the grill to go with vertex kit, you will just need the grill for the origin.

damn where can i get the grill and how much does it cost?
i found the foglights on luxury mods for $250.

the knock off vertex kit i got says it comes with a free mesh grill.
is that the grill i need?
will the grill work for the origin front bumper?

yeah that grill will fit in the origin too, but the mesh grill looks cheap...the real grill is pictured above, see that chrome thing. It's the same grill that comes with the 97+ bumpers

insomniac

so the vertex kit wont fit at all without the fog lights or it just looks stupid without the foglights? im confused..

also where can i get the real grill?

np20412

it will work without the foglights, some people choose to leave them off.

you can get the real grill from the classifieds here or for $83 brand new from Sewell Lexus

If you don't want fogs, put the Origin bumper on. If you want the fogs, put the Vertex knock off on, but you will probably have fitment issues (due to it being a knock off). Personally, I'd put on the Origin bumper. It looks cleaner and you don't have to worry about the fogs, and if it's a true Origin bumper, you shouldn't have any fitment issues. I'm biased tho, since I went with the real Origin full kit. Took 1/2 a year to get, but it was worth it!!! And yes, it will flow, since as mentioned above, both kits are pretty similar.
