Rexspeed Apex Silver Vortex Generator Installed

Hey guys I just wanted to show you the vortex generator I purchased from Rexspeed and installed a few minutes ago. The shipping was ridiculously fast, the packaging was good, and the quality and fitment of the product itself is great. I would highly recommend purchasing from him if you don't want to spend $250 on a vortex generator from somewhere else.

Pictures of the installed vortex generator

Here are the pix of the VG actually installed. It took me about 20 minutes just to make sure the piece was aligned correctly and to pull out the weather stripping. I will post pictures of the entire car a bit later after I take it out for a bit.

By the way I paid $105 for everything, which also included the shipping. I would say it took like 5 business days if you count the day it was shipped out.

A few more pictures

So I am still not sure what gauges I want to finish my dash pod with because I was thinking about getting red gauges so that the blue boost gauge will offset them and my eye can focus more on that one. Anyways, the whole point of this thread is that the VG turned out great.

Sorry I can't help it. I have been a member for like 7 months and never posted so I think I am just venting all the pent up posts. Plus if I am really satisfied with something I will always try to share the wealth

I would have to assume that the lower price of the product is due to the material that is is constructed out of. The plastic is pretty hard, and I was assuming that it would be more of a rubbery material. I noticed that the product was shipped directly from Taiwan, which is where I am originally from. So I know based on my background that anything you source from that country you can definitley get at a cheaper price. If anyone has an MR VG, can you comment on the sturdiness?

I cant make up my mind to use a matching color VG on my IX (apex silver) or going with a black one. Very tough decision.
