| I have one on my car and the fitment isn't too well. I have spoken to another member on this forum, who also purchased a full kit from Origin and he has told me that he had problems fitting on his kit as well. Apart from that though, the car looks real mean once it's on. Guess it's the same with most kits out there.. End of the day, it all depends on who fits it for you and how well a job they've done. My front bar has stress fractures starting to form, so I am getting it fixed and resprayed in the next week or so. |

| I've had it on my car for around.. half a year now? Stress fractures are really bothering me. As for the pics, my webhosting went down a few weeks ago and I'm unable to access the Internet from home at this moment in time (new house) Will have to wait if you really want those pics boys. |

| Nathan, like I said mate it all comes down to how well a job the fitter does. Obviously, I asked my fitter to try and make it look factory so it goes to show that you have to try very hard just to get it sitting flush. I've attached a picture for your viewing pleasure

| Vinh - looks very similar to one that sold about 6 months ago on here. I love the colour scheme.... what did it cost you for the respray? |

| Matthew, the respray set me back around $5,500 with a few other small things done at the same time, e.g. Painting some interior parts. Matthew, I don't believe he sold his car as he was asking too much for it? ($17,000 for a V8 that has done over 200,000KMs?) Unless it was a different car? |

| Joshua, I may post some more up when I feel like it mate Scotty, I already had the Vertex sides and rear parts so all I purchased was the front bar. I think they go for about $500AU and can be found on www.origin-aust.com although it seems that their website isn't working at the moment? |

| I don't like it, reminds me of a lancer. No offence to each their own. |
