Default Admiration or Wald Body Kit 2004 LS 430, need opinion

I just bought a 2004 LS 430, black w/ saddle interior, custom lux, w/ addit. wood grain around the Nav. System, etc. Before that I had a white GS 400, which was hooked up, w/ Lsportline rear, & roof spoiler r.millen front, wise side skirts, l-tuned shocks & springs + 20" LD1. I am planning on hooking the LS 430 and take it to the auto show for next spring. I wanted your opinion on what body kit I should use between the Admiration and Wald. I like them both but I am undecided. What you think will appeal more for a show car. Rims will be 20", LDR. I allready bought toms's trunck spoiler and Auto-Couture roof spoiler w/ 40% black tint to compliment the interior. Thanks guys. by the way I was thinking not to lower the car, because I am not too keen about the stiff ride.. i love the softness of the ride currently. This is my first post but I have been browzing this site a very long time.

I haven't seen a picture w/ the Junction Produce Kit on a 2004 LS430. I have seen them on the 2001-03 LS but not 2004. If you have a picture can you post it. please. I like the Wald, but then someone post a picture of it on a Silver LS and it didn't look quite appleaning compare to the Admiration on the silver LS, but on the other hand, it looks great on the Black LS.

any picture of admiration? i can't remember it off the top of my head. i like the wald but i wanna compare it with the admiration first.

junction produce they have one for the 04 already. pm junctionGS, he has pics of it. and of course, he's exclusive JP importer, you can get a good deal from him i am sure.

I don't think JP offers a full kit for the '04 LS yet (unless John is keeping secrets from me ), they only offer an add-on lip kit for now...

ok by comparison, i probably think that the wald would look better. the admiration looks a bit more (too) aggressive for me

they do have a full bumper replacement for the 04 already, not the lip kits. the lip kits is just the sport division, but they have the executive version already

i confirmed this with john the other night. unless he's lying to me, haha
