The Visage kit I think is better than the Wald kit. The wald kit first is more expencive, and the Visage kit is cheaper. Also the Visage kit looks more agressive than the wald. If you do get the v kit it looks best in darker colors

nope I have the vizage it comes with wing front lip back lip and side skirts... It is much better than the wald and does not require cutting. THe tire flares also dont blend right and are riveted on so they kinda look tacky on the wald kit. But thats personal pref... I will take some pics of my vizage kit. it goes on this week.

k thanks...what I basically wanna do is make my car look like this:
Wald Body Kit

Can the wald kit be made to fit IS300s or is it just for altezzas? I really like the tire flares, the kit with the flares makes it look kind of like an M3 from the front...Also what kind of wheels are those? I asked someone and he told me RacingHart C2s but they definitely aren't..anybody have a correct answer?

Thanks,
vinny

What has to happen with the wald kit to fit the IS 300 is it has to be cut down. Basically it has to be cut and fiberglassed to expand it about a half a inch or so. for the front and back. the flares well can't tell you that much about... Wheels not sure... but get the right offset.....

I have the wald kit and gettin fitted as we speak... it is not as easy as ppl think there is more to it then just cuttin it and makin it longer.... the lip spoiler fits funny... you have to dremmel alot and get some custom glass work to done to make it fit tight and good..

Right now there is only Two people with the Vizage. One on the West coast and one on the East. It is being test fitted to make sure it fits correct. Remember the wald does not include the wing and the Vizage does. Also the Wald is fiber glass and the Vizage is Eurethane. I will take some pics befor I put it on my car tomorrow and let you see...
