Default Body Kit suggestions!

Guys I'm thinking of gettting the WALD executive rear bumper add on lip for my car. What material is the wald exec. kit made out of? PU or fiberglass? Will it flow well with the LTuned skirts and tte front lip? Can someone give me some suggestions. I have already seen the Lsportline and RMM rear bumper on with Ltuned sides and TTE lip. I kinda wanna do something different. What do you guys think?

Tommy

PM me if anyone is looking for the lsportline rear bumper.

it's made of fiber glass. the wald rear is pretty mild, i think it will flow pretty well with the sides indeed!

sorry man, that's me, last burst before i get to bed.

if anything, the thing i don't like about the wald rear is that the lines of the lip being a bit too obvious. and since you have a silver car, that's going to be even more noticeable. other than that though, the wald exec kit, awesome choice

Henry: what do you mean by the lines of the lip being a bit too obvious? Do you have a picture that you can show me and point out what you are talking about. Thanks,

It is relatively subtle from the front. Most of the lines are seen from the rear. You can see that in the other pic I posted. From other angles, you only see that line where the lip is attached.

This is the bumper I started with so you can see how subtle the line is. It is a little sharper in this pic since it did not get all tweaked by PS.



p.s. I initially wanted to do that other angle I posted but could not find a pic of your car at that angle.

T

with wald you should get f+s+r, aka in jdm term: the whole set. btw, they are frp(fiberglass)..

for what you have already, i would say stay with L-sport rear and you are set

I agree with GS4will! You need everything so that it flows well Tommy. Notice how the wald has that line which goes all the way around? That makes it flow perfectly...

Truthfully, it does not flow much better with the Wald sides either. The part that is glaring is the line where the lip attaches to the oem bumper. That line will be there regardless of what sides are on the car.
