I bought the Wald kit.. so thats the best kit

Did consider the Toms but decided no as it did'nt have a rear kit. Also considered the Phoenix Power but could'nt find a picture of one in black.

All the kits are here...

Walk looks great and is one of my favorites, it's just very LOW. Tom's is another option. $$$ though.

Being that I'm not much of a bodykit fan and have limited knowledge of them, I must say that the Wald kit is a great look. That is the one body kit I would add on if someone were to give me one.
Go Wald or Go Home!!!

To me the Wald kit dosent seem like a bodykit. It compliments the lines of the SC so well and really just finishes it off. Its very subtle when its on the car.. but without it, it really needs it

The Wheel Experts one is good to look at, Im not a big fan of silver but they show the kit from every angle with some great pictures.

that's exactly why i love the wald kits. to me body kits shuold be subtle, to the point where people know your car is different but can't really tell what's different. wald does it so well

I like the Exclusive kit.

I initally was about to order the WALD, but I realized it made the SC look more rounder/fat. I felt the car only needed more features to it's front & rear, the Exclusive kit provides that.

When ever I get mines in from Carson (waiting 3 months now, F$@%#!!!) I'll post some pics. I've got a little twist for you guys to see. But I probably won't unvail it until August for a Car Show here in Hawaii.

Its all about personal preference, Just because everyone and their mom has a Wald kit dont fall to the dark side

For a person that wants a subtle body kit or something low then the wald kit is it. Its subtle to where many people wouldnt even notice it but I am the owner would

Personally if I spend over a grand for a body kit I want people to see it and know that I got it I really like the autocoture front end replacement since I think the stock fog lights are super ugly. The exclusive lip with wald side skirts is also nice.

yup..its all about personal preference.

Believe it or not, I found most Japanese owners have Auto Couture, Blitz and Balsarani on their UZZ40.

I also found some new kits, will post the pics after I make sure who makes them.
