Hey guys,
I found this Vertex style kit from OzBits.
I was wondering if there was any reason why this kit wasnt any good. Also how much did it cost some of you to get a kit fitted and sprayed? Any help would be much appreciated!

It's a plastic frill. Next question?

Damn, this is a matter of taste and I defend people's right to their own taste. What a bummer.

Aaron, Do a search on bodykits. There has been plenty of previous discussion regarding cheap kits and what to look out for.

To sum it up for you very quickly though:
- It's cheap because the finish and fit will be less than perfect (and that's being nice)
- You will pay as much again that you would have paid extra for a decent kit on modifications and preparation before you can get a lick of paint on it...

Alternatively, what I could say for all those "I found xxx really cheap, why do you think it's so cheap" questions the following more enjoyable answer:

Wow, what an incredible find! I can't believe you stumbled on such an amazing deal! The quality is no different to xxxx that is four times the price! That deal is going to put the xxx industry out of business! Those guys must be selling at a loss ALL the time! What a great bunch of guys to run their business as a charity so we can get amazing deals!...

pffft....95% of the time YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR....4% of the time you get ripped off and the other 1% is where you may get a one-off great deal....

Tim - Really? EVERYONE on the east coast.... That's strange only 4 weeks ago I had shipped across a vertex kit from Jetspeed and it wasn't flexi-glass...and hence it wasn't as cheap.

From previous posts on flexiglass the concensus seemed to be that it was crap...and probably worth the $600 they are asking for it...

You completely missed the point I was making about making a loss...but never mind.

Aaron - keep your eyes and ears open...
