I'd recommend mod in Japan for a lot of parts or FIGS for anything drivetrain/suspension wise.

IMO avoid Carson Toyota / L Tuned parts. I ordered my Wald CF spoiler almost 4 months ago and still don't have it. Its a long story but Carson keeps saying it has shipped and promises me a tracking but I have yet to actually see it. Even when I got on their case yesterday they said they would expedite it but I still have no tracking...

I ordered my Wald rear diffuser through Jesse Streeter (JesseStreeter.com) about a year ago. He ordered the diffuser directly from Wald and then shipped it to me. Took about 4 weeks and only cost me about $1050 total... could have saved a bit more if I had wired money directly to him rather than using PayPal, but I can't complain as it was still a great deal. Communication and packaging were both top notch. I highly recommend his service.

It's not a typo. My ordered totaled right around $1,050 delivered to my door. I actually thought about ordering a bunch of them and reselling them, but I'm far too lazy for that.

I researched quite a bit and found nothing but great reviews for this guy. I think I actually discovered him on a Honda forum. Anyway, he lives in Japan and makes his living as a freight forwarder. He communicates through email promptly, just keep in mind that the time difference may affect his response time. When I originally contacted him, I sent him a link to a Yahoo Japan auction for the Wald diffuser. He then emailed me back and said he thought he could save me money by ordering directly from Wald . If I remember correctly, his fee was only $75. When he quoted shipping, he gave me a big range because he wasn't sure if the diffuser could be shipped via EMS because of its size. He thought he might have to use DSL which was much more expensive. It turned out that the diffuser box dimensions worked for EMS and shipping wound up being very reasonable. If I had wired the funds, the cost would have been less. But I used PayPal for added protection, so I had to pay their fees. Paypal's dollar to yen conversion is also a bit of a hose job, so that added a little to the cost. All in all, I still got a great deal and would use his services again in a heartbeat. His website is also pretty informative if you have questions about how he operates.

These are the only two pics I have on my computer from the day of the install. I've seen other Walds and I assure you mine is authentic. The weave is fine, there were no cracks, etc... It's legit.
