My kit is lighter than the stock parts that were removed. Hmmmm, add kit and remove weight. You can have your cake and eat it, too.

Wald is nice....it would be nicer if he had the front and rear lips molded into the bumpers....look more clean. If it was on a black GS....not too bad cuz it won't be too noticeable....but on a Silver or white car....you see everything.

Both are very clean, but the kicker for me is the Junction kit's door skins that make them flush with the skirts. Makes it much more custom looking...like JT's new sick bodywork!!!

So right now it's either JP or just go Wald and customize the kit.

hmm... One way or another I need to customize to be different. Thanks for all the input everyone.

Both are nice, JP has a smooth "finished" look which gives it the edge IMO.

definitely JP!
beside, the cost to put back to stock is a lot cheaper than lips.
if u use lips, u must paint the stock bumper again, at the end is almost the same price as full bumper. but is just my opinion. hehehe
