Yea I think you can get that full china rep kit for around $1k like on the blue car. One piece bumper with grill, fenders and sides. Wald has 3 gills on the lower sides of the front, the rep has 2.

Yep, and the front bumper is still isx50 width. Notice the brake cooling ducts aren't as wide as a real Wald/ISF

He has authentic Wald lip purchased from VAS, molded on rep FRP ISF bumper/fenders/sides

The China kit is a one-piece with the black bison rep and bumper rep together as one

There's no rep black bison alone (only the one-piece "molded" version)

he used to have ISF conversion bumper from ebay after someone crashed his car and destroyed his OEM 2008 bumper

now he has ISF OEM rep bumper in FRP (NOT conversion) which is same width as ISF bumper, with FRP fenders and side skirts to go along with it (because ISF bumper is too wide for OEM ISx50 fenders)

Come on bro, the Wald on that blue car is the replica. It is not molded, it is one piece. He has headlight washers on the old "authentic" ISF front bumper. The new "Wald" has none. Also as have already mentioned above, the FAKE one piece Wald bumper's brake ducts are not even close to the same with as a real Wald or ISF's brake ducts. I'm sure his "real" Wald's brake cooling ducts are closer in with a fake one than real F/Wald.

CalitriSC also pointed out that his carbon side vents on the front bumper only has 2 vents on each side, the real Wald has 3 vents on each side. So you are telling me that he modified it to 2 vents so it looks closer to a fake one?????? Please look at the details

Show me where I can find OEM ISF replica bumper that has the same width as a real F bumper. I have only seen replica that are for isX50 (same width as isX50 bumpers).

i think it was 2 piece...??

if according to the details of the lip that they're knockoffs, then VAS has got some explaining to do

the bumper/fenders/sides are not from ebay (black plastic ones)

Any chance you have a link where he bought the sideskirts and fenders from? They look amazing. Are they wider than stock 2IS and would it be a direct bolt on using the regular 2IS front bumper?

LOL. Looks fake to me. I still would like him to chime in on where his supposed fiberglass ISF bumper and fenders came from if they arent the knock off parts that we all believe them to be. Ive priced the black bison numerous times (wanted to go that route at one point) and his "receipt" is at least $250 cheaper than i was every quoted and he lives in Canada i believe... Costs more to ship there last i checked.

Yeah it's crazy how similar his front bumper and fenders are similar to the fake one rather than a real one. The fender and side vents do not look as wide as a real F either. Yes looks like narrow stock isX50 width with isF style vents
