Default exclusive primary or wald exchange ? need input..

i guess the really don't have a background on these two. the most i know about the primary is that its made by the same company that makes auto couture . So fitment would be pretty on. Has anyone on this site ever acutally bought it ?

and really the most I know about the Wald is that someone bought the 97 lip kit once and had a rediculous fitment issues with it. Wondering if that has ever been remedied. but i'm buying the 92-96 kit which from my read comes with a full front and rear bumper and skirts. I went through the aero parts thread and could see that anyone has ever bought one. Also does anyone know if it fits 95-96 fogs ?

Any help is greatly appreciated , i'm going to end up buying either one from memory fab here in the next couple days . thnx

the top one looks like a stock 93-96 kit with the turn light photoshopped black and with a lip.
the other one looks like a cheap version and less aerodynamic vertex kit.

The Wald looks nice, but a few people have had fitment nightmares with it though.

thnx for the responses so far, I wish I could really go for the Wald, I would really like a new front bumper. But i'm so edgey about fitment. Anyone know how much memory fab stands behind the product they sell. Or is it all on the manufacturer?

well i got the quote back, shipping is 350.00 for either one. after reading memory fab's policy, they do somewhat stand behind the product against manufacturer defect. but really it sounds like you get screwed on shipping if you have to ship it back and its basically up to you to do any shaving or ness bodywork. which is understandable to a point.

The sideskirts fit like crap...after some bodywork, this was the best they can get it. It's not that noticeable in the pic, but it was the worst fitment i've had on an authentic kit ever! Front and rear just needed some shaving...
