Default Is this rear WALD or not...?

Anyone have closeup pictures of the rear WALD lip?
I have seen few companies make replica but i can't tell if it's the JP or the WALD replica.
Also to those people who are painting the middle part of the rear wald lip black, I can't seem to figure out if they cut the indentations out and add mesh or just left it alone?
ALl the white ISx50 wald rears I have seen looks just plain black with no squares/triangle shapes indented in the middle while the black isx50 wald rears I have seen has these.
Are there two different walds?
What are WALD owners doing to the middle part?

Here is the picture for reference

this is a wald rep but has mesh and opening


this wald doesn't even look like it has any openings nor mesh


this wald has mesh and opening but people say real wald doesn't have openings nor mesh


SO confused....

Aside from the overall shape, the JP looks nothing like the WALD

I think the Wald comes with the mesh inserts.

Some people like to have the centers cut out and replace it with mesh. I was going to do this with mine, but decided not to do any cutting. The WALD looks badass either way

I think i see the mesh and openings in the picture where you said "this wald doesn't even look like it has any openings nor mesh"

Its just really dark so its hard to see

Yeah I think that one does have the mesh.. But I'm not sure if I agree with you, the WALD and JP Vizage DO look the same besides for the mesh inserts and cut outs.
