NYC driving is something you don't not wish upon anyone lowered lol. Potholes everywhere. Crappy paving jobs that leave speedbump size bumps in the middle of the highways. Just not a good time lol

OMG. I haven't driven my car in 1 month and 3 days due to what I thought was going to look good, but this?!? My car will be ready tomorrow, and when I pick it up, I'm driving straight off a cliff. THX EXCLUSIVE.


Edit: thx for the new background on my mac, iPhone, and pc @work.

Thanks for the compliment on the pictures primecut. I'm glad that I was able to have the opportunity to photograph this beautiful car. It's simply amazing to see it in person as opposed to viewing photographs of the car. Personally I think that its put together very well and the car is absolutely clean. It's great to see someone really taking the next step and setting what is already a rare car even more unique.

Between style, sound, and ride, this car is definitely one that turns heads.

Great job on the car ExclusivIS! It was fun working with you during the shoot. We'll have to do it again when I'm in the area again.

Hey ExclusiveIS. Your car with the Wald kit looks GREAT! Like some others, I too was not a fan of the Wald kit for the F when I first saw it come out. Maybe I don't think it looks right on a black car, I dunno. Anyway, seeing it on your car makes it look AMAZING! I LOVE the contrast of dark on the kit against your white car. Is it painted black, or is the kit carbon fiber?

In any case, great job and I especially appreciate someone willing to take risks on modding their car to make it stand out more than the F already does.

If I could change one thing though, it would be the wheels. Don't get me wrong, I like the wheels, but as someone else said, your car was pure elegance before this kit. Now with this kit, your car is VERY aggressive and sporty and I think it needs some wheels that are more that type of style.

The car looks great either way though - just my one comment for improvement (in my opinion).


EDIT: P.S. Any chance I can get a couple of high res shots from the ones originally posted?

ngl1145, great job on the pix first and foremost!

Sam, I think there's been enough bash on this thread already so I' gonna get right to the point. I do believe it's easier to pull off such an aggressive kit on a darker F, butttttttt.....all the little things you did with the carbon fiber selective painting and whatnot set it off correctly. The only little thing that is a bit specific to gripe about considering the all the mods done to the car is that the wheels might not be the right fit for the kit. They looked great when your F was mildy modded with a drop. I think it's too elegant on such a aggressive body. Either way man...props Next time you get
ngl1145 to come down, we should do an F shoot!!!

Thanks again for everything mr. Ngl1145! Def was an eventful photoshoot- between me holding an umbrella over you and your camera half the time-that European MC/DJ dude talking to us outside his music shop about IS-F's-and then getting yelled at and given dirty looks at the garage...all was worth it in the end dontcha think?

Sure I'll see if I can find some to PM over to ya- in regards to your question the front bumper is not full CF only the side gills and the front splitters- however the rear diffuser is full CF and the rear spoiler.

Fasho! That'd be kool.

Man you know I'm always switching up so I'm sure at some point in the near future thing's will be changed. Far as this season goes I'm pleased with all aspects of the car and the "look" it has.

Thanks again everyone for the comments. There is more to come in this thread so keep checking back !

First version: (Basically the molded look as well as reducing the size of the side vents)


Second version (can you spot the difference?):

Niiiice! Always wanted to see what it looks molded

2nd chop the CF splitters extend themselves a bit. Looks aright I guess? Not something as solid and noticeable as doing the actual mold of the front bumper would be.
