If i would go the the hang outs and everyone i know had a lexus and Wald internation was paying me for using there product. Then maybe i would pay more. the way is see it in a couple of year after i get my car the way i what it, i will start part it out and losing more money no one will pay me for authentic wald or anything that i have put on my car. so if i can save so money why not at the end of the day i dont care if it real or fake. im a little to old to care
That just me

as long if the fit is OK, I would be fine with replica for body kits only. NOT WHEEL, cuse is just not safe with wheel replica, just 2 my cent.....
I'm sure every1 in this world don't want to pay more for it.

If this is "stealing," why don't Wald go after the the company that makes the replica? Very few people go to meets, very few people know what a Wald kit is, very few people appreciate a Lexus IS with a Wald kit, for the majority Wald kit or mod will decrease the value of the car, etc.
Mod decrease reliability and does not appeal to the majority of the general public, so mods decrease the value of the car. I would never buy a mod 400 horsepower Toyota Supra, Subaru STI, Lexus IS300 Turbo, because I do not have the time and energy go to a special guy to maintain the mod Toyota Supra, so I would rather buy a factory 400 horsepower Dodge Viper or BMW M3 instead. I see no reason to spend more for an authentic kit, if cars are your hobby, go ahead and spend more. As for me, I am not a big car fan. I am looking to upgrade my car, and the Lexus IS350 is on my list of choices.
Anyone here regret buying the Lexus IS350 or Lexus IS250 RWD when driving in the New York City or Michigan snow vs a FWD car?

Wrong. I do not like mod cars. I work in a conservative field. Everyone can have their own choice, but you only get one chance to make a first impression. I prefer the classic conservative Lexus sport body kit if I get a Lexus IS350, or I might get the Lexus ISF. The price of the Lexus ISF will be about $35k next summer which is within reach if anyone who is spending money on a new Lexus IS350 + mods, but if you prefer a good gas mileage, I can see buying the IS350 over the Lexus ISF.
Example by Lexus250
I am seeling my Rims (20'' front 8.5'' rear 10.5'') for $900.00 OBO. And my rear and side body kit for $350.00 OBO. Also selling my Tanabe Coilover kit $600.00 OBO about 30,000 miles on it please PM me for any questions or email Johnceparano@gmail.com
Local pickup or buyer pays for shipping.
Reason for selling is my job (Im a Banker) feels that my car it is not professional enough and is apperently is stoping me from getting a promotion. If its true or not I dont know but I feel if someone has the nerve to tell me it most have some truth.

to me, all it matter is that does it look good after you install it, if you like it, who cares what others think, your the one thats saving $$$$ in your own pocket, NOT them.

I would hardly call Fly Audios system a replica. That thing is pricey and from what I understand better than the OEM set up. This is definitely going to be a he say, she says thing. Like I said I don't support replicas, but I'm not going to burn someone for buying it.
