Default Best Body Kit: Auto Couture or Vertex???

Since these seem to be the most popular two kits to go by for an SC, i'm going to post up these two

the Auto Couture and Vertex Kits
or 97+ conversion

or if you have another favorite then vote other and tell us which one
don't count knock offs as another option


be sure to list why you like the kit you voted please



i got a feeling which is the most popular, but lets just see

i like the 97 conversion, but if I were to go for a body kit I would get AC.

AC way way over the Vertex, though both look nice, the AC looks more classy, specially in either black or white.

The AC to me just looks like a slammed stock bumper, not really my style. VERTEX FTW!

That is kind of the point for the AC kit. The stock kit looks nice and stylish. The AC kit is jaw dropping. AC kit FTW.

Can't believe I just said FTW

Auto Couture FTMFW......more classy than vertex IMO. Vertex is nice but the knock off's have ruined it. Then again I might just be biased since I have the AC Kit. I also like the Wald Kit so my order would be

1. Auto Couture
2. Wald
3. Vertex

The AC doesn't look that much different most people that are not familiar with it think it's just a front lip and sides. Here's a side by side pic of the AC and Oem 97 and up. This is the best pic I have.
