Has anyone tried this guys kit?
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=180316911823
Does it fit.
Given the front clips take a beating and probably will get replaced every 18 months or so, the price is OK.

Hi I bought this bar a few days ago & arrived yesterday at my door. Haven't fitted it yet but it does look OK, I'll let you know how I go.

OH and check the event section, there is a QLD cruise coming up soon.

I yeah thats right the guy on ebay is Vertex 'style' but not an actual Vertex copy.

no problems at all on the skirts,
no problems at all on the front bumper
no problems at all on the rear bumper (exhausts had to be moved)

except the front and rear bumper got damaged in transit
i thought the $68 transit insurance was a bit too much for nothing...

anyway dave good fitment i installed them myself and i can see where people can find it hard with the front bar and the headlights, i lined it up pretty dodge the first time i put it on. haha

Will try and get some more pictures further back, I have coilovers on my car so does sit a bit lower but this one is nowhere near as low as my last 'vertex' bar.

I got it painted & fitted at J & T Smash Repairs cost $350, he doesn't generally do fibreglass bars but if you tell him that I sent you he might as he's a family friend.

Nathan, i was referring to the item on ebay, which is described as a vertex bar, not your bar.
So next time, before pulling out your favourite Mr.T impression, get your facts straight.

Hey Bill,

I used this guy to purchase a full vertex kit. It wasn't too bad. Front and rear bar fit ok. Side skirts were pretty dodgy.

See link for photos of my car with the kit on:
http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=372920

For the price i think it's a decent kit.
