I'm with you, something is off. And when did Wald start making a "non-carbon fiber" version of the Black Bison??? Just seems like his parts keep changing the more people question, just as it was OEM ISF bumper and fenders originally. Where did he find aftermarket fiberglass fenders and bumper (besides from what ISFPower posted...)?

Yea I already figured this was the case. Wald only makes one Black Bison lip for the ISF. There's no non carbon version that's made by Wald. The real lip is over $2k by itself plus molding cost to the "other" bumper if that was the case. That full replica bumper is higher off the ground and doesn't look the same as Wald.

^ thats exactly what I thought. Look right underthe headlight. Bumper is molded exactly the same on the blue one. No two people mold the front lips the same, there is always variation. But if OP claims it is legit I wont argue

Lol just saw this. I've seen that kit before, a local member PM'd me about that a week ago... it recently came out didn't it?

I know what I bought and would gladly taken pics for you if you guys are doubtful... I saw the wald stamp/logo on it before it was molded too.

Wald actually does come without the cf inserts, they are simply pieces if you get that option and gets bolted on, you can it get with out without, without being cheaper.

Mutiple local members have seen my car and the lip in person, so I unno why you are so skeptical. If it was rep I would say so, my mod list just was not updated to show the FRP bumper etc and I updated it when a member pointed it out. At no point did I claim it that was real. So not sure who is saying I'm changing my stories? lol

Anyway here's some of the results of a recent shoot.

you're right, wald does have non cf, i posted a few weeks ago for a member who was interested. but here are a few things that shows it's not authentic.

1. take note of that real wald non cf area next to the fogs. it's a sharp rectangular angle. yours is squared off.

2. just a normal replica isf bumper on ebay looks just like the normal isf with the sharp rectangular lines(next to fog housing) and fog light housing is even spot on like the isf. So basically if you had a real wald put on that ebay bumper, why would you square off that area next to the fog and use a diff type of fog light housing and put in a grille that is identical to the white rep bumper i posted up?

I'm going to side with ISFPOWER right now and say it's a rep, for these imo, conclusive reasons.

So 149MAX, you used your ISF rep bumper to mold an "authentic" Wald right?

1. The upper and lower grille is different, one has a triangle shape and the rep wald bumper has a circular shape, and I guess you deleted your headlight washers too?





2. The side so-called inserts are also the exact same as the rep? You only have 2 vents across it, whereas the authentic wald has 3 non-existent ones. It doesn't actually ventilate anything, but yours do.

Thanks haha. Maybe in a year when I graduate, or maybe soon on my birthday . I'm also slowly piecing together authentic wald rear/sides I really hate this mod bug.

LOL at the detective post lookin good inspire

Authentic or rep IMO as long as it looks good then
if its a rep and someone feels the need to claim its authentic for whatever reason then

149Max car looks great regardless for all the doubters just post a copy of your receipt to end the ones that doubt u haha
