Ok, why then some people complain about the authenticity when both use the same material and most likely fit the same? Save a buck or two, especially if you drive low (like most guys here) and get front lip replica. You're gonna spend the extra money repairing it anyway. I see the ads on LA, Cali Craiglist for 600 bucks. I say go for that instead, unless you can get the real one for similar price. I'm sure for the same amount of the real lip kit, u probably wanna spend it on performance or suspension stuff.

Alright guys. Please don't turn this into a real vs. replica thread. The OP asked for help finding a kit. I realize that my tongue-in-cheek post may have started this so I am clearing this up. Although I will keep my opinion of the replica matter to myself (or at least not put it in this thread), I only meant (by my post) to infer that I have a Wald kit for sale in the classifieds.

The Version I kit pictured in the photo gallery looks pretty good. I wonder if it's actually photos of the authentic kit
