Default ebay wald replica kit help.

Hi everyone, I am a newbie here.
I just purchase an Is300, it is absolute Red. I love the car. now I try to make it look sexier. but my budget kinda tight. I am looking around to buy the lip kit for it. Ebay has some cheap one.
anyone has ebay (wald style) front lip on your IS? I love the carbon fiber so much. I found this on ebay.
00-05 Lexus IS300 4DR WD Carbon Fiber Lip Body Kit: eBay Motors (item 130379891288 end time Jun-30-10 13:31:10 PDT)
ignore the crazy price. does this kit fit good?
thanks for all your suggestions.

With ebay its a hit or a miss. You get lucky or you don't with aero components. Try if you want.

I don't know if they are the same as the VIS ones but you can give them a check. They have pretty decent prices. But as far as any replicas, more than usual you will have to do some modification to get the lip to fit. And the middle part tends to bend up a lot of the time after paint for the reps

I've seen the bending you're talking about zet with wald replica lips, but just curious as to whether or not bending after painting happens with replica full bumpers?

I've only seen it on the wald rep lips. I've never seen it on full bumpers, but don't take my word on it lol.

It's almost always better to avoid the word replica since it takes as much to fit it as it does to buy original.

We carry a few different kits for the IS300. We do have one that's similar to the Wald kit but ours is an entire bumper replacement, not just a lip.

You can find all of our offerings at the following link. Let me know if anything catches your eye!

very true, I will say that word around the campfire is that the ones from extreme dimensions (i have full cwest replica from them) are the better fitting ones out of the replicas. it did take a good bit of work for the shop to get the full cwest replica kit to fit my car but its on and does look/fit really nice, i would say if you dont have the money for authentic go with ED as ive have good personal experience with them, hope that helps with your decision man
