i highly doubt this kit is real for the following reasons:
WALD ALWAYS puts pricing on aero kits that are readly available on their Japanese site.
WALD is notorious for having many computer graphic renderings for vehicles on their website, and never actually end up producing a kit for that respective vehicle. To name a few: MBZ SLK, MBZ CLK, G35 coupe.
An importer like Carson or Jonari is usually the first to have anything from WALD. Ie. the 2006 GS kits.
Most obvious, many Chinese and domestic US companies are talented enough to copy kits just from a computer graphic drawing. No need to name those, there's so many in So. Cal alone.

FOR FURTHER CLARIFICATION SO MEMBERS ON THIS SITE ARE NOT DECEIVED ABOUT WALD PRODUCTS:
http://www.wald.co.jp/news/release/index.html#
There is 3 sections in the "news" link above.
1. DEBUT ...parts are available. notice how each picture actually has pricing.
2. COMING SOON ...this is what WALD is currently working on in their aero kit tooling factory. New LS coming next!!! Will probably debut at Tokyo Auto Salon.
3. NEXT CONCEPT .....this is all up in the air from a time frame perspective and from a design becoming a real end product. the owner of the company will choose whatever he wants to make next, when he wants, how he wants or not make it at all.

Per my connections, this is not legit. The kit is prototyped and will debut in Japan at the Tokyo Auto Salon. Public release is speculated to be Jan/Feb of 2007. As mentioned previously, this maybe a "Chinese" Wald kit.
(California plates??? US release b4 Japan??? I think not...)
