Damn that looks sexy!!! :eek: :eek: Manaray, do you know how much those Wald wheels are? Any vendors for them? Looks like that SC could use a camber kit.

Man I got my Soarer Hyper Rev the other day an this kit was not in there. Now after seeing it I know which body kit I'm ordering for my SC

Great pic, I would love to see what you come up with with your SC.

Is it just me or does this kit and the Auto Couture kit look strikingly similar to the 97+ factory kit?!?

Here's the order of what I think looks the best out of those three,
1) Auto Couture, 2) 97+ Factory, 3) Wald

I think the only differences in those three are side skirts & front grill.

Does anyone else see this? or am I taking some crazy pills!?

WALD has two kits, one that uses the 97+ grille and the 96-down fog lamps, and is a full bumper replacement. The one pictured above is a factory 97+ front bumper with a WALD add-on spoiler. SC300TURBO can give you more details, he's got the whole kit waiting to be fitted. The AC kit has a front bumper that's a replica of the 97+ except that the lower grille uses one vertical bar instead of the oe 4 bars.

The AutoCouture kit also has a lip at the bottom...the stock '97+ bumper doesn't...plus it adds sidekirts and a rear bumper lip also...(as does the Wald)

Manaray;

That motor is wearing German Number plates ? what is it doing in a Japanese mag?

Titan;
Which edition do you have of Hype Rev, is it Vol35 ? I have that one but it is quite old (1998).

The euro plate is quite common with Wald...they like to give off a "european" flare (they also advertise in German...Japaenglish is bad enough...Bomex for example....I'd hate to see what Japadeutsch translates like!)

I personally think black is the worst color that you can do a car in, in a body kit promotional ad. You can't see the front bumper details, and it blends in with the shadows. Another kit that does this is the "Explosion" body kit. In the pics you can't even see what the lower grille looks like (at all). Bomex does it right by doing it in white. Other colors are good too, but black is the worst.

THANK YOU!! I've been thinking this the entire time I've been seeing these post of " I think this is the best aftermarket kit for the SC." What's the point in putting the kit on and spending over $1000, if it looks almost EXACTLY like the OEM bumper. It will be different than most of the bumpers around you probably, but still the difference is VERY subtle, VERY. If you get a kit (my opinion) would be to get something that is more noticable. I mean, isn't that the whole reason in putting a body kit on??

Wheels: Can you say AMG Aero II Monoblock!?!?!? Looks like they came straight off a Mercedes. You can get some 18's for $359 off tirerack lex400sc. lol

Don't want Brabus wheels. They don't fit and they are a Benz-only tuner so I'd prefer to stick with JDM wheels designed for our car.

lexlikenother

It's AMG actually, and yeah I know benzo only. Here is a better pic, I deleted the other one.

I don't know, I still prefer the fat-lipped, multipiece look with hub cap.

My friend has those Wald wheels on his LS400 and he's bent two of them on at least two different occasions. I'm not sure what happened the second time, but the first time, he bent them over some rail road tracks
