That sweet FD belongs to my lil buddy Dan McVicker, who goes by Scrub here on the forum. PM him and he can fill you in.

The car looks even better in person, it's nice to see a tastefully exterior-modded FD.....most of them look like catfish or beetles

Pretty sure that car belongs to Prew here on the forum, I think he lives in our neck of the woods too (philly area).

The CF piece thats flat and just goes under the bumper would be called a splinter. Think the red 1 is a gt sports kit or something.. very beautiful though.

I think you mean 'splitter'

We just need to get Scrub and Prew in this thread and they will put an end to all speculation.

That's the kit I'm putting on my FD....I hate to admit that the front bar looks akward without the diffusers...oh well, hope everything turns out O.K.

Mine will be pretty similar as the green vertex but with Yellow colour

mine is the GP Sports front/sides/rear...





also like the Vertex the GP Sports is seen with the canards on the front bumper on both companies websites. That is why the green car has them and scrubs does not. I am not sure if he chose not to run them or even had to shave them off himself, but they were not included with my kit.

Prew, awesome pictures man....did you take them? I'm starting to get into photogaphy.

IMO the Vertex bumper looks more OEM without the canards on it, but everyone has their own opinions. Suprisingly a lot of people who absolutely hate body kits came up to me and stated how well the Vertex kit looked on the car, like it should be there. The hood is a different matter

and here is a better picture to compare the two different styles
