Default Wald kit pic...BN sports lip

Is the Wald kit just not popular?...i've haven't seen a pic of the wald kit other than their site.
is it just not worth it or are there problems with it?

BN Sports front lip is $730..any comments on quality? anyone else that can get it cheaper?

For me and im sure many other members on this board, price is the main concern. $730 for a BN sports front lip? $1700 for a wald lip kit + $500 for an OEM front bumper? Not to mention a 6-8 week wait? That is extreme just for a bodykit IMO, just not worth it. If money was no object, id put down $2400 for an AC kit right now. But ive decided to put my money elsewhere.

yeah the prices are pretty high up there. only thing that worries me about the AC kit is the fiberglass bumpers.

if you're parked anywhere...someone bumps into you and the fiberglass will crack..(unless it's made out of something else).

figure having an OEM plastic bumper it might stand a better chance from the careless drivers out there.

Fiberglass kits aren't as weak as you guys are portraying them to be. You'd be surprised...

Two months too late for me. When I was looking for a kit in Dec I would have jumped all over the Wald for 1400. It's good I like how the car turned out. I'd be depressed seeing this price.

picked one up used and i had to buy two new driver sides for about ~200 each. I lost one on the freeway I may be selling them in the next couple of months, not 100% sure though.

Default So expensive?

I bought a Fibreglass Vertex kit (full kit) for AUS$1130 last week. That's the price delivered to my door. The kit itself was only AUS$950.
