Nice kit. Is that a copy or the real Vertex kit? Where did you get it? I want that kit. If its a copy everyone and their moms going to want to rock it since it would be cheaper than the real deal.

rims are 18"s, look small, huh?

i had the whole car repainted the same color as the original color of my car, because i had millions of little dings, etc, so i got all my emblems shaved in the process as well. the back looks so much cleaner, i love it... the color got a little less blue, but otherwise it's about right...

http://www.geocities.com/silversc3/Dscf0012.jpg

that's the back, like i said it's not done, cause it doesn't fit perfectly, there's a little gap that i have to take care of. i plan to put back the L emblem, and that's it... maybe the SC3 w/o the 00 as well. or the SC with a new 3.. ghetto maybe, but still clean i think

yeah it's a knockoff kit of the vertex kit, they actually call it the "vortex" kit, bahaha...

i'll put up front pictures when i put the '97 grill in... i have a 96 so i had to get that grill, and i need to get fog lights too.

i'm in norcal now, just moved up here from socal

You now need some chrome exhaust tips to go with the nice bodykit.. let us know how it fares on curbs, scratch and otherwise. If you speed like I do, (mashing the throttle on I-5 for half an hour) let me know how it fares, like stress or flexing cracks.
Since you're in norcal now, what part? I live in the SF bay area. Was it done by a shop up here? If so, would you recommend them? I'm thinking about a color change and a body kit myself.

Maan...those wheels do look small wiht that kit on

I've heard that a few places have this Vertex copy. VIP in Alhambra has it, supposedly. How much was your kit?

What kind of wheels are those?

darn those people who makes copies of the kit. i heard that there's a copy of the do-luck kit out too! at least i know mine is all real.

i drive real fast sometimes too, but friends tell me there is no flexing it the fiberglass. my painter also told me that my kit was one of the best kits he ever worked on because it was real solid.

if that vortex kit is cheap, i might get another one. kinda gets boring with the same kit. same day, different crap.
