hey guys, since i can't afford to get the fabulous, my other choice would be the wald or the veilside kit.
i have the greddy front lip now. which would be better suited with it? the wald sides and rear "sport" edition or the veilside "executive" sides? (the rear is undetermined w/ the veilside)

how much is the fabulous kit anyways? it was actually looking at just the front bumper.

oh yea..wald is nice to..

Vertex gets my vote. Actually it got my vote already! I should have the kit in early June for my GS430. Will post pics when install is finished.

Veilside gets my vote.

I think the Wald looks too much like it is "tacked on". It reminds me of a lot of kits on Honda's and Acuras that have a similar "tacked on" look.

the last time he quote me it was $980 for F, 980 for sides, and 980 for Rear, or $2269 for the complete minus the exhaust.
