Hi guys,
just wish to hear some advice from you guys. I just got new vertex kit for my GT-T. and for my GT-TL i got Bomex on it since last year. well after putting the Vertex up it feels not much changes on my GT-T (may be just my wrong feeling) i just feel that the Bomex will make the car looks longer and sharper. What do you think? and which one is actually more well known and expensive?


cheers

Bomex completely ruins the lines of the car in my opinion.

Vertex looks good on most cars as they tend to make it flow.

Bomex is almost as bad as Veilside in my view =/

Personally i prefer the vertex, i think the bomex looks like an older style kit and the vertex suits the factory lines and curves better. just my 2 cents.

Ok I know most people on here know the look of these brand of kits, but is there a chance you can post pictures of both kits on the car? Just to get an open discussion of the different accents or shapes of the kits?

If its a pain, never mind, I just don't really know what they look like. haha

origin over anything -
price,
fitting,
and overall looks.
the only thing that comes close is vertex ridge wide body.

Check out pics of my car =3

I agree with the Bomex haters; dont get the kit. The less cars on the road with the same kit as me the better imho =)

Hopefully Aaron can post a pic of his Blue Soarer with vertex kit. It just shows how good a Vertex kit looks when done right.

Or you could just go a factory kit.

I don't remember what my kit was, but someone called it the Duck Garden Kit? Does anyone have any idea what that may have been? I'm pretty sure it was a Bomex.. and I loved it :-)

I'm really not a fan myself. It's just trying to look like it has an Aston Martin nose.

Like I said, I loved that kit.. but when I got the soarer it had to come off soon after being the side skirts were warped and weren't ever put on correctly to begin with.. the front and rear bumpers were ripped in multiple spots.. it was a damn shame I had to take it off. That is a bit much for the kit being I didn't have to pay anything for the car and it was given to me.. crazy!!

come on whats wrong with the bomex kit, i have to admit the skirts and read pods not a fan of them, but the front bar looks good. Anyway i think it looks good on my car, maybe its just the silver? HAHA

I quite like the Bomex front bar :-) it's the one I'm going to get. But not Bomex skirts and rear

You can get most kits to look decent with appropriate wheels and stance :-)

I think the Bomex kit makes Soarers look like the 1997 model Celicas, just spoils the lines completely.
