Vertex Edge Widebody FRS
 

One of my buddys at Vertex USA sent me this:

This is their rendering for the kit they will produce for this car. Hopefully they'll have a non widebody version as well for those who would rather not cut up the rear quarters on a brand new sub 25k car.

Vertex is absolutely AMAZING quality. Some of the best fitting FRP kits being produced today. I had it on my 14 and everything lined up FLAWLESSLY. You definitely get what you pay for with Vertex. Est price will probably be between 2-3k for the full thing...but damn, this thing is SEXY!

Any pics of the front? Looks mean!

Overdone to me.

I also had vertex on my S14, and SC300. Iv loved the design and quality of vertex's products.

This render looks to move away from their clean aggressive lines of the past, in lieu of more vents? More complexity?

I like this render, but it doesn't look like an image of the current Vertex too me

^ditto w WoW, hope to see better design than that

I agree. Edge is their new lineup. Much more aggressive and complex from their other lines(Lang, Ridge etc). The only other car I know of to have the Edge kit for it is the S15.

I love the way this kit looks. It's super aggressive. Though for an everyday street car, it is a bit too much for me. Hopefully, as stated previously, they'll have one a bit more subtle.

any other pics of Vertex's widebody designs for other cars, including said s15?

Doesn't look like a FRS to me.

Cool, i like it, any front pics?

Pfff...whatever. Toyota 86/Scion FRS from the outside is the same damn thing.

nice. Show us the front.

No pics of the front. I'm sure there will be some eventually as they get closer to the that actual final product. Somebody should do a photoshop of this and take away the vents behind the rear wheel and the one up front behind the wheels. Leave the vent down the door line.

I got a feeling that it would look much more badass and clean.

The vent behind the rear tire on the side (not on the rear) and the one leading out into the door on the side kinda make it feel too complex. Without it, I think it'l look a little cleaner IMO. Sure I know this took some work to render, but getting the crtizisms will help improve something more people wanna buy.

Great job nontheless and thanks for sharing!

found this online, not sure if its correct or not

Rice

I like that front lip spoiler looking thing tho

Blah. I don't like it. It ruins the nice clean look of the stock car... but that's just my humble opinion. I'm sure there are some folks (ricer kids) that'll just love pimping their ride up with one of these kits......

OMG, I sound like my dad!!

^^Yup! I only got the one pic in my email.

Uhm...i wouldnt say it was rice. Extreme and a bit too loud or aggressive, sure....But definitely not rice. Rice would be having 3 sets of canards going down the side of the front bumper and a mesh grille.

Lets not get confused on what "rice" really is.

Should still name it correctly for what it is. Details.

too many vents

there are vents everywhere

I much prefer cleaner lines than overly angry

I like how it looks from the front, and the back of it. I just don't like the vents behind the front wheels. =/

Poor car, it's gonna get so rapped by aftermarket body modifications. People who overly mod their cars make us all look bad.

The only thing that is barely worth mentioning is the lower lip and lower side skirt, for it to be okish it has be be thinner and made of cf ...

Well sure it's no FR-S in dayglo pink and black wheels ;)

I agree. Absolutely about the furthest thing from what I would ever do to a car.

a little extravagant for my tastes, but it's nice to see companies out there showing off their ideas. :happy0180:

I'm probably going to need a widebody kit for functional reasons.

No, the one pictured in this thread would not come under consideration. My kids could do a better job with their Lego set.

I've never I my life liked aftermarket hoods... until now.

I don't care rice or not someone needs to make this hood NOW!

No...people that try to max out their tire pressure and street drift in the rain will make us look bad.

hey as long as both my avatar and this hideous body kit both stay virtual ill be more than happy.

That I agree with.. :( most 240 owners know that or if not they may be the ones doing it or "fun".

Yep. And that was directed to Ahausheer. He said thats exactly what he did with some fwd car....and he wants to talk about stupid:lol:

While I agree with you, technically it is rice. Any widebody kit on a street car is rice.

That makes 1970's-era Corvettes with CanAm fender kits, aka widebodies, rice…?!?

;^p

Lol. Evos come factory with molded widebody. Molded wide fenders on a lancer body. WRXs have widebody molded on stock subaru impreza bodies. Mercedes SL65 Black is an SL65 with widebody. Lexus ISF is an IS with wider fenders.

Tell me any of those cars are ricey....they're not. You, sir, are very wrong. RWB widebody on a porsche....tell me that's rice when the full kit probably costs just as much, if not, more than your car.

And anything Rauh Welt Begriff that isn't on the track.



Wait, RWB is Rice, it's just expensive Rice.






No, that would be wheat!

I've owned a WRX and an STi (Ichi, it was an 04, so yes, little i), and the STi is factory Rice. I think your idea of "molded on" is a bit different than most peoples. An STi/I does not have a bodykit riveted on and then bondo'd smooth. It has larger front fenders and different, wider rear quarter panels. They are steel quarter panels, welded to the unibody the same as every other panel on the car.

All of the cars you mentioned are ricey. (you asked us to tell you they are)

If so facto, sculpted wide fenders. None of those cars factory are ricey. Everybody is so fuckin ignorant when it comes to that term. From what you're telling me, any sports car that is japanese is ricey.

.....I give up on this forum

I was being facetious when I said "All of the cars you mentioned are ricey".

Someone really needs to invent the sarcasm font so that people stop getting so butthurt on the interwebz.
