I think the front lip of the wald kit is missing some spark to it. From the photos you can barely see any addition to your front bumper. The wald kits for the IS and IS-F are beastly...but for the GS it looks so plain!..anyways congratz! :P

I love the Wald kit for the GS. I like that it's understated. Kits should enhance the car but not make it look over the top. Non-enthusiasts should be able to look at the car and know something is different but not know for sure what it is. Body kits should blend in, not stand out like a set of wheels would. Of course this only my opinion.

I would hate to wait that long for the kit.

Congrats Hakisaki! you cant go wrong with the Wald kit it smooth and flows well with the body lines. Wald also makes a quality kit and shouldn t have fitment issues

i guess you guys musta missed my post here?

link: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-next-mod.html

long story short, i had my japanese friend help me place the order. 2 long distance phone calls, half a dozen emails, and 3 weeks later, i got my order in.

edit: all jdm manufacturers (artisan spirits, wald, etc) have contact telephone numbers on their jdm websites. as long as you can communicate with them, they are more than happy to do business with you. sorry, english communication is not an option (japanese only; this includes email as well).
