I'm sure you want everyone on here to say positive things but I won't - never liked the WALD kit and your car looks like every other "kids" car now. Before you did the kit your car had elegance written over it, right now I'm not sure what it conveys.....but it's not positive unless you are trying to impress some car show judges.

Your money, your car so as long as you like it I guess.
There's a fine line between giving feedback and sounding like a douche bag. I grew up in NY where people have no problem telling you like it is. I think it would have been good enough to leave your comments at "I liked your car 10x more BEFOREEE you did this, sorry but that's my 2 cents." but you felt the need to take it a step further by being insulting and condescending. Again I can be as rude as the next guy but there's a time and place for everything.

Whilst the WALD kit may not be everyone's cup of tea (I've gone on record as saying I was not a fan either) it's Sam's along with a lot of other people on here. I commend Sam and anyone that is willing to "step outside the box" and do things performance or cosmetic that others haven't done before or might be perceived as unpopular by some. I guess we could all be the same with the same wheels and the same everything but that wouldn't be fun. All of the guys on bimmerpost.com think BBS LM's are the ONLY wheel that you should put on a BMW and consequently all those guys have the same car and when another guys buys the same thing they all swing from his nuts and tell him what a cool guy he is.......because he bought the same thing they ALL have.

As far as whether his car was elegant or whatever who cares? It's his to choose what he wants. The IS F is not a Rolls Royce Ghost or Bentley Flying Spur. It was designed as a competitor to the M3 and I've never heard anyone refer to that car as elegant. The M3 is an aggressive car that most spend money on the make look more aggressive with CSL rear spoilers, splitters and rear diffusers. You may argue that the WALD kit is too aggressive but again.......it's not for everyone.

Now that I've said that. I agree with others the WALD kit has to been seen to be appreciated. I've seen the only other IS F with that kit and it looked much better in person than in the pics.

The kit is agressive and you have done a masterful job of pulling it off and I think SFP does that kit credit (maybe WALD should use your car in their ads).

Kudos to you on the car and I can tell you that the look you've acheived is more than just the sum of the parts you bought, it's all in the execution.
It's not for everyone but I can appreciate the effort, time and money spent on the car.

The pictures are well done too and complement the car very nicely.
