It does not look as good as expected compared to kits for other models from wald IMHO. . .

Man, even the HiAce's over there are tricked out.

The IS kit is definitely different, but not my cup of tea.

people who like this kit are basicaly well funded riced-civic lovers.

the fins are out of control, the grill is a ferrari rip off, the quasi-splitters are rips from the m5, sideskirts have no place ont he car as they don't utilize any existing lines.

Thanks for your reply. Different people have different taste.
In my opinion, I don't like the fenders at all. but the front lip and side skirt looks alright
remember this is a prototype. They might slighty change the actual kit.
How you like this kit compare to ings?

^^^ i would have to say ings, but thats just because i have it installed on my 350. The wald kit is awesome too though and i would have waited for this kit or later ones but i kinda wanted to be one of the first with the ings.

the prototype INGS+1 kit looked great. then they screwed it up in production. they made it way too bulky and the kit ends up dominating the car instead of enhancing it.

as far as kits go, zipang and...err...the other one that is a full bumper replacement are the only ones i like.

as far as lips go...various or carlsson are theo nly ones that actually add to the car but don't subtract at the same time.

the first batch of kits that come out are usually way too conservative, or way to liberal.

with a car like the 2IS that has..what 4 lines on it max? its hard to come up with a kit that will make the car a little more aggresive, but not changing the car.

sideskirts on this car will probably never look good. the door's plain-ness will clash with any extravagant sides (ala the wald kit). any sides that are made that look good, will probably be very close to stock. the rear bumper has some chance for enhancement (ala INGS+1 rear, zipang..).

no matter what kit you decide one...NOTHING will make your car look better than wheels + drop.

The front quarter panels remind me of the Tiberon.....

Do not like.
