If you have been in the Import industry long enough, then the name Vertex should be no surprise to you. The company makes some of the nicest and best fitting body kits for your Drift or VIP car. They even promote others to "Stop the Copy" of authentic aero kits. With that said, you can image the company's philosophy and deep respect it demands from others.What you are looking at is truly amazing. PandaGS430 has been a member on ClubLexus for sometime now. Even in the early days, Panda always experimented with rare JDM parts. It has been awhile now since we all have heard of Panda. Until now. The opportunity to be the first in the US to have the new Vertex conversion front end for 2nd gen Aristo was offered to him. Money was sent to Japan and parts came by air freight. Vertex debuted this conversion at this years Tokyo Auto Salon on their white Aristo.
I remember having mixed feelings about the kit initially, but all concerns are gone. This conversion is a full replacement of the front fenders, hood, bumper, headlights, grill, and fogs. Not to mention all the brackets to make this work. Actually it is not really a true conversion. To me a full conversion would mean taking off the "Stock" 3GS parts and bolting it on a 2GS chassis. That would be a true conversion. But, Vertex didn't set out to do that. Vertex spent the R&D time to do a updated front-end to an aging car. The outcome could not have come out any cleaner. Notice how the lines on the hood even match the 3GS grill. The details are just so cleanly executed. Hence, why people say Vertex kits just fit hella nice.

PandaGS430 is back ready to attack and show-off his new "botox" ready 2/3G Aristo.
