Default 09 Wald Lip VS 06-08 Wald Lip

So many of you know that i picked up the 2009 wald kit for my IS. Photoshoot pics will be up within a week or so so bare with me on the pics there droid quality. The only thing different between the 09 and the 06-08 wald kit is the fron lip. Heres some close up pics. Just thought it was pretty neat and wanted to share.

2009 +



2006-2008

2006-2008



Personally i like the 2009 wald lip because it looks a bit more aggressive with the extra lines in such, but then again i am biased. Both at one point were my lips, but the 06-08 lip was sold to my friend Henry (didnt fit the 2009+ front bumper) , who joined us @ the YBHS car show. EDIT: he is know registered here.. Regardless Both are nice lips
WALD FTW!

Now Rashoodz can add something to his Humungo body kit thread

no it will not fit... unless you change your bumper to the 09.. the contour lines does not match up

IMO - only Wald and Vertex are two body kits that look pretty decent on the IS. As much as I like WALD, I'm not dign the front lip and rear skirt too much.

I like the Vertex Digna kit (simple but yet aggressive looking) just a bit more.

Thanks for the comparison Josh! I was just looking at the differences the other day.

I must be the only one who likes the 06-08 Wald front lip better haha. Less is more for me I guess. I'm tempted to pick up the Wald front lip, but that would make me at least the third TP in the Bay Area with it.
