I like how the front is really sublte. The sides remind me of the wald sides. Someone should get the wheels in the first pic. That is HOT!~!

Too many lines, makes the car look busy. I personally think Auto Couture can make it more elegant (since Auto Couture and Junction Produce always set the tone for elegance)

Sorry but this looks like something from Erebuni Corp.

Well, it is either one line too many or the line is in the wrong place. It is just in my own opinion, my own crazy little head, that I think it is too busy.

All in all, I like the kit except for the rear skirt. I dunno, I'm just not a fan. Maybe if the rear bumper was a 3-piece skirt with the side pieces being shorter, kindof like the black factory pieces...

let's look at the two concepts back to back and compare the busy-ness of the two

WALD


Auto Couture


interestingly enough...the sides skirts off benzoboi's E55 looks very similar to the AC sides

I think to get a really good idea of people's opinions....we would need a smiliar angle. Only cause one may not see certain things from certain angles...you know what I mean. But from what is given, to tell you the honest truth, I like the way the auto couture kit goes with the car and the wheels. I think the wheels did it for me...Just my 2 cents

Both look good but I think the wald looks slightly better.

my only complaint about this add-on kits is that it's that...added on...there's that line where the lower piece it glued onto the bumper...it would be nice and costly to blend and i dont even know if it would turn out nice. I'd like to see WALD or JP or AC make a full bumper so it looks like one integrated piece. Hell they charge enough for these things it should be a full bumper

You can custom mold it like I did on my wald kit
