And yes the Wald sides suck. They don't fit at all without some bondo, 'glass and a few hours.
but your car is so B E Utiful

WALD is ten times the kit JIC is. Shouldn't be any comparison.

now now, that kind of comparision isn't fair. Both are in their approriate categories and we have members here with both kits that represent them beautifully.

I would say wald & jic is ten times better than any knockoff...

Na, I'll stick to my statement. Truth is truth.

No one said the JIC wasn't any good itself. If overly sensitive people can't see that, it isn't my problem. It doesn't matter how many hands you hold, someone is still gonna step on your toes.

Wald is ten times better than JIC. It's a whole new level. The comparison is JIC and WALD, and WALD owns that like Hillary owns Bill.

JIC shouldn't have been in the comparison. AutoCouture should have been the other choice.

agreed, i like one more than the other...

you're comparing apples & oranges if you put JIC & Wald together...

no one is overly sensitive here Brian, you're just comparing two entirely different styled kits.

I've had both...honestly, the fitment on the JIC was better....my Autocouture kit fit better than the Wald...

JIC was only in this mix because the original poster likes it as well...nothing wrong with JIC, don't put it down on such a low level...you should be doing that to ALL knockoff kits...

SO we agree and we're good Since that was my point.

JIC shouldn't have been in the comparison. AutoCouture should have been the other choice.

We're only good if you take back that 10x better comment...

haha...you should say Wald is 10x better than any knockoff or JIC is 10x better than any knockoff...but nooooo you can't compare the two...

If you are to compare two kits, what do you say when you compare Wald & Autocouture?
