The biggest thing is make sure that what is picture is what you get. Some of the vertex knockoffs come without the highbeams cut out or with the grill in the wrong location (VIS racing).

Nothing bothers me more than the grill being in the wrong location. In time it will drive you crazy as well.

It looks like a strong kit, but looking at the vid the high beams are not cut out. Probably a lot of other fitment issues

You can get this one for about $720 and it's a much better kit. I know guys who have this kit on their SC's and all they had to do for fitment was shave some of the corners a little.

yeah, there is no highbeam location for it, and if you look carefully on the grille part, it does not seem as nicely shaped. But i wonder how strong that front kit is, when you go too far into a parking space.... it wont be hammer strength, but it will be a 3000 pound car strength...

they dont sell just the sides and rears?

Guys... the bumper in the video is for the evo in the background... not an SC.

I say give it a shot, i mean its only $638 which is like a third of what the AC kits/vertex kits go for. Worst case scenario im sure u can resell it with minimal lost $$$. Just be prepared to do minor things to make fitment better.
