Default WALD Front lip replica

Looks like there is a shop selling a WALD front lip. Anyone know if the fitment is good?

Here is the link..

I'm also considering the V-style lip from Nextmod..

The Wald lip looks promising. If you are located in Socal you should just drop by the shop and have them test fit it. Good price also.

I think ALL replicas will need a bit of work to get perfect. The front is the one that gets abused the most though.

+1. But dealing with replicas, poly is not as flexible compared to fiberglass/ABS. So there might be fitment problems.

thats cause abs is a thinner material. polyurethane is very similar to ABS but tougher, yet still flexible. flexibility is all that matters.

I cannot deny the price is 7x better than the original, but I'm one of those who couldn't sleep at night knowing it wasn't the real deal
