Wow, the replica on the white car even has the Wald indentations on the side of the lip.. That makes me sad.

Hmm, mine didn't come with a Wald emblem on the side. I guess different sellers might sell ones made from different factories.

^ He probally used real pictures like my car. Stupid ebay said I couldnt prove they were using my car because the picture wasnt my intellectual property or some BS like that.

What about that emblem on the door? No watermarks on the photo?

eBay sucks... what the seller is doing is defrauding the buyer by posting a picture of your car with the original lip and then passing the replica off as geniune with that picture. Total fraud and eBay seems to be condoning it.

That's strange, I saw a picture of my car on eBay when I had my old set-up with an unpainted Wald replica. I asked the seller to take it down cause it was my car and they did so right away, but only to steal another picture from someone else.

That is a pretty impressive fit for a replica.

Very nice! How much lower does this make the front bumper?

Yeah I was surprised but like one of the other members mentioned these replica lips are a pretty much a hit or miss. One of the guys who posted pics of his lip from the same buyer had a small gap on each side. Guess I got lucky on this one

Didn't measure as I only put it on for a couple minutes before taking it back off. Waiting until the weather stops raining this week so I can take her in .
