I like Wald.

The JP Sport kit is nice but it's so subtle that it doesn't even look like there's a kit. For the amount they cost, I want it to be known that I have a kit. Haha.

Default Guys don't like "ING's" Body?

I'm about to place an order for ING's kit from Japan... It's made from Hybrid FRP which, like Wald, resists cracking on light impact and comes with body break molding between th kit and the body for almost OEM quality fitment and looks. It's a long wait at 6-10 weeks to California but it is available from ING's USA for less than $2000.

See the thin gray strip of rubber that runs along the gaps? Classy and very OEM like factory Toyota body kits of the past Supra, MR2, etc...

I might consider this one too, I like the rear of this one better than Wald!
I am not looking for full bumper replacements since it is more complicated for UL model, and I wanna retain the oem bumpers.

Any more sugguestions for VIP style?

Well I'd go Wald if the choices were limited to the 2 above. But the one kit that I really like for our cars is K-Break.

I like the WALD if it is limited to those two choices. Dig the TSP kit. I like the full bumper replacements as opposed to the add on pices just because it looks cleaner. No UL here though!

I've seen the wald kit in person on a buddy of mines car and it looks niiiiice. But that TSP kit is WOW. lol. And i'll have to agree with the comment on the JP sports kit. They're kinda blah. But their vip kits are where it's at.

I've been eyeing on the WALD and INGs kit

Haven't seen the TSP

JP is $$$$$$$$$$$, not too crazy about it.
