i thought the rear was the only truly unique part of the lsportline kit, with the venting slit in the back. the sides are plain and the front is nice, but the rear is my favorite. and is it really that common down there? i've only been to cali a few times since learning about GS kits and haven't seen one, on the street or at any group meeting

I've seen WALD Executive on a silver GS. It doesn't look as good as I thought, like the one on the black Aristo at Hyper Rev 69. Kind of disappointed but I'm glad I found that out before the order is placed.
Is it because on a silver car the extra indentation/molded crease on the front and rear bumpers show too much? I'd like to see that picture if you have it readily available...

Have you considered the Blick kit? It would be my personal choice. Seems similar to the Wald in that it has simple sides and a half front and rear, but without any extra creases. I haven't seen anyone with this kit yet.

pv,

The real problem is how to get those JDM kits from the other side of Pacific to here with a reasonable cost. Blick is nice but it's too rare to find it even in Japan.

If I don't have anything scheduled this winter and my financial situation allows me, I might go to Japan and pick up some parts myself.

JP is very expansive, retail 440000 yen. With discount, the price knocks down to 350000 yen. It cost more than 3 grands for just the kit. Not to mention shipping/handling/modification/paint/installation.

Is it just me or Sessions' front looks like AC's front? The only part I will get from Sessions will be the front bumper, CF hood, and roof spoiler.

I don't think Borla would look good on Veilside kit. I wouldn't put any American parts on my car but that's just me.

Hey Dennis,

You figured what you want to do yet? With the options you have, I'll take the LSportline front, Veilside Executive sides and rear. Those combo will look good in my opinion. If you plan on getting the Executive, they're pretty much sold out for the first shipment and about to sell out the second shipment for october.
Good luck and just let me know when you want Xpel on it. GunnerMac is doing his this weekend if I'm not mistaken.

cong,

I was waiting for your reply as you said you needed to check the software game schedule?

Anyway, so WALD USA finally imported the Executive eh? The first shipment was sold out. That's good so I won't get the WALD Executive. I've decided to do something more special.

gs4will, i agree with your taste! i would also do the same, but perhaps with a blick kit for less lines (my car is silver). i would also put on the 19 dh's in either silver or polish (if the polish would match -- not sure if it would go with the millenium silver).
