definately a wald knockoff, please dont buy fake, pay and get the real thing. If you do buy fake dont pass it off as the real thing. The whole wald kit can be bought for between $1300 and $1600

Knockoffs suck! Respect the company, buy their parts.

Not only as mentioned above. But I can almost guarantee that the quality of that kit between the fitment and the overall structure is nothing compared to the authentic Wald kit.

You'll spend more money trying to get that kit to fit properly...

I would assume the fit and finish of a Wald kit would be better considering the price. BUT, if this knockoff is just as well built, ***** the Wald! I don't open my wallet to a company just because they're them.

The front lip is darn sexy. Mild but present, like the TTE--but less worn-out and hyped up. Any more details? Urethane or glass? Anyone have one installed? It would be easier to build/fit a lip versus an entire front bumper)...can't be too bad I wouldn't think...

I don't know anything about the Version Select GS kit but I know a lot of 240 guys run their stuff. But, 240 guys also really don't care about how their car looks half the time since most of them are into drifting and having a jacked up car is cool to them.

That kit is a knockoff, it's made by Raceonusa, which are vendors on this forum. Also, it is cheaper if you buy it on there site then ebay.

The picture off the car looks like Admiration Createur, but the pictures on the car look like Wald.
