Wow. Norcal is finally stepping up. Andy, is this the full kit from Vertex or are u using different rear/side skirts? (I'm too lazy to go on vertex =p) But this car definitely has to make it out to our next meet.

Its is a full kit from Vertex-USA. Comes with hood, fenders which are 12mm wider than stock USDM, front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper, a wiring diagram written in completely japanese: so good luck trying to read that....and brackets with nuts and bolts.

The conversion itself is not as complicated as everyone may think. there are about four(4) brackets and they are basically just extensions of the mounting points for the headlights so the newer headlights fit two(2) brackets each side. Everything else is basically install as usual.

too bad it doesn't have any kind of chrome trim in the front. it looks weird from the side it is like missing something.

everyone and their momma has stated this. I actually test fitted a chrome piece on there...and it does not look good at all....quite possibly why japan did not follow through with it.

I even tried running the chrome pieces up the two sides not going all the way to the front and it still does not flow.

going to have to figure another route so I can stop those comments cold. no offense to those who are commenting about it of course, it was one of my concerns as well.
