vs.



which do you prefer and why?

vertex for me. it flows well and the bomex ruins the lines of the soarer

Bomex front is way too fussy. Bomex skirts look like PVC stormwater piping.

VERTEX! haha but im a little biased lol, the Vertex does suit the lines of the Soarer much better than the Bomex though...

Bomex - fussy front bar with aweful sideskirts.
Vertex - I don't like the way the sidekirts curve down to the wheel arches.
Vertex is the better of the two, but I prefer Auto Couture to both of these.

vertex no modifications to fit.
pay a little more $$$ saves you $$$ in fitting, fiberglass, bogging, painting of the kit.

brothers car (^^above^^) no bog just hi fill, primer, sprayed and fitted in just over a day.

I have a Bomex front bar, and I would take a Vertex anyday lol. But I picked it up real cheap, so I don't mind too much.

I think you'll find that most members on this site will choose a Vertex kit over a Bomex kit any day.

As brother said GENUINE vertex... Perfect fit just primered and painted. No around with it. All holes are pre-cut and nutserts are already fibreglassed in

Vertex all the way , Bomex looks like it has a torpedo tube out the sides / I got my Vertex back in 2002 and can tell you they must have improved a lot , hell of a job fitting it , rear skirt was just a F#@#@K to fit , sides were bitter but not a day job .
