I think that C-west kit is ugly in my eyes. I was using the head on shot for the type of bodykit with regular old headlights as a base. I love that vertex kit thou, anybody else have some pictures?

PS Which model Vertex is that kit? I'm having problems finding one that is that one exactly.

That is the regular vertex kit, or also known as version 1 of version select.

Depending on how much you want to spend check out the other Version Select (www.versionselect.com) kits and Origin (www.origin-lab.com) kits. All sub 1000 and fit good.

Only have one question: In this picture there are not blinker or foglight cut outs

Where these Version 1 bodykits have the Cutout for the blinker:

Sorry for the really dumb question but I'm just making sure this is the same kit, he just did some bondo or fiberglass work to fill those holes in. Thanks all.

See the thing about body kits is there are like hundreds of them, and half of them have so many insignificant differences. There probably is a kit that comes with no signals but not in the US, so you would have to wait and pay a lot for it.

So my suggestion is fill it if you dont want them.

It's a BN sports type 3 kit. Don't think there's a knock off connection for it around here. Go original.

I appreicate it. That Vertex is close enough and fiberglassing up those holes wouldn't be the hardest to do or bondo but we'll see.

eh, sounds cheesy but why dont u just get a full kit and mock it up and trim accordingly... saves the hassle and saves bandwith...

so you would just roll with ricer flash in the back? or put some turn signals somwhere else? im curious. front turn signals are a pain in the ass when you need to take the bumper off quick.

I just like the clean look of a bumper with no signals up front. I'm not worried about blinkers up front thats easy to fix if needs-be. I still wouldn't mind a few more pictures of the above Red 240sx if anybody has some?
