That is so hard to decide! But in my opinion, they all look pretty similar though, there isn't really anything that stands out a lot. However, I do like the TOM's kit though, you can never go wrong with that!

I've always liked the Wald International one, mostly because of the piece under the door... But thats just me, and some of those are from Japan, so shipping may be an issue unless you find them in the US to start with. Good Luck!

I still think the Wald one hits the spot, but not because it looks like a bodkyit. It seems to finish the car off and look like its supposed to be there.

I agree with you.

I wonder how would fit the knock off[ copy ] one. original Wald seems very over priced

Do not ruin a car by using a knock-off. They are never the same quality nor fitment as the true one. You should be happy Wald isn't as expensive as TRD; my buddy just paid almost $10,000 just for his TRD kit for his Supra.

Actually the MVP TRD widebody replica is a better fitment and quality than the original TRD widebody for the Supra.

But to me, copies are a nono unless it fits the following factors

Fits better than original
stronger than original
and of course pricing.

Though even then, I still wouldn't put it on any car I own, under certain circumstances...

Also the Wald kits for SC300/400's fit very very poorly, it may be better for the SC430's but definitely not all of their products are above average.

Just wanted to point some things out.

To me, when/if I purchase the SC430, the Job Design aero is #1 on the list.

wald kits for the sc430 has some of the best fitment.

to me, regardless of any reason i will never wear knock offs on my car. it's an insult to both me and my car. i have the luxury (and luck) to own a nice car like this, i wouldn't do anything to ruin the class and status by doing knock offs

xotic is right on about fitment. original doesn't mean good, knock off doesn't mean bad. in general it might be true (and very likely, coz' knock off is molded off original), but not always. still, pricing and fitment won't sway me single bit on my feeling on kock offs

Knock off? please don't tell me that i should expect to see some lexus with mismatch color for the body kit and like we often see on the Civic or Accord, etc. Are those people just simply run out of money to finish the car up? If so, I would rather stay in stock form. bottomline... for knock off.
