Is there a Vertex replica side panel that fits well?
I saw a car with the Vertex sides and 96- Front. It looked amazing! I'd love to find those sides cheap!
I looked at Shine but i dont like those extra lines. The Vertex is more aggressive!

DO NOT GET THE RIDESKINS REAR LIP IT'S ABSOLUTE JUNK THAT DOESN'T FIT

You will hate yourself, hate your car, and hate America. You've done a good job of cleaning up and removing a crappy body kit from your car. Keep up the good work.
Glad I read this. haha, I've been debating it, but after seeing your trouble and reading that, I don't want to bother with it. Where'd you find the Shine rear for $350? It's $450 on their site + shipping...

I like that one although I'm not as drawn to the sides as I am to Vertex. The lines/detail may bother me on them. I looked at photos for hours yesterday. i have yet to find pictures of a light colored car (silver/blue if possible) with a close, detailed shot of the sides. They look fine on dark cars but I'm not sure on a silver/blue car. MDSCs' car looks GREAT on the site, but it's black and doesn't clearly show the detail. I saw mostly the same red car pictured around the net.
That said, If I can find good pics of the sides and like them enough, I'll get them this week.

I'm just not a fan of how it's 97+ styled. So we'll see what I'll find. Until then I'll be rocking paint matched OEM mud flaps.

Hope this helps
I'd love to see those rare sides. Are they mounted? What are they?

Then I must be OK with the lines because both cars are in my all time "Top Ten".

Thanks

Love that Inspection aero...


Here's Vertex-style with '97 sides - my current setup. I'm not so fond of how low it is compared to the sides and will change it out eventually. These bumpers are cheap and available.



Here's LCSC's car with 97+ sides and Shine Auto rear bumper. It matches well and at $450 it's not too expensive.




Or if you want sides as well, capitalize on the weak yen and get the Origin stream full kit for $540 off Yahoo Japan, then sell the front on here.

Those pics were VERY helpful. They had views of combinations I was curious about but had yet to see like 97+ sides with more radical rears. Looks better than I thought.

I already have 97+ sides and rear and the stock 95 front to install but I am exploring all options before sealing the deal with PAINT!
I am torn between just using what i collected already and going with a Vertex rep kit. I really love that look but would love to save the money.

That weak yen deal is amazing. I wish I liked the Origin kit. I wonder if Ts Project kits are affordable now. I really like that one.

Thank You!
Keep it coming if you have more please

Question Wise n' Shine!

I got my Wise Lip in the mail yesterday.
I paid for Shine Auto sides and they ship tuesday.

Any ideas how they will line up? How about with a 97+ rear (temporarily).

Has anyone ever seen pictures of that combination? I looked for hours. I found one black car that may have this combo but the photo is too dark.
