Exclamation need help identifying body kit parts

i'm new on this forum, and need some help identifying these body kits parts. i own an '07 IS 250 myself but have no experience dealing with aftermarket sports partsm and have never put on on mine.

a friend of a friend was leaving the country on short notice and had to sell his IS 350, so he took off the extras and sell back to dealer in factory body. my friend now is left with these body kit parts - front spoilers and lips, and rear spoiler kit - which we have no idea what brand or model they are... all we know is that it was ordered directly from Japan about 3 years ago. we have had them for like a year sitting in the garage, and now just getting to it. so maybe they are older styles that are not on the market anymore...

we would greatly appreciate if anyone who are more familiar with body kits can let us know what they are, or at least a guess to point us in the right direction. thanks in advance.

I've never seen the front/rear lip for the IS, but the rear lip looks good!

EDIT: Didn't notice the front was upside down. LOL.

The rear lip is hard to identify because it's upside down. The trunk spoiler is a Wald. It could be real or a replica. Can't really tell.

Rear looks to be an authentic wald done the way they intended.

Check inside the lips and see if it has a stamp. The rear trunk spoiler is Wald no questions about it.

They're all Wald, with the exception of your last pic. That is a stock part from the trunk. Expensive parts if you're going to sell them, worth your time finding them a home

so the only thing to tell if it's authentic is the stamp? what would the stamp look like if you could describe a bit more. i don't have access to them right now, but will check when i go to my friends' garage. also below are the pics of the back side of the rear lips - looks to me like it's fiberglass. does that mean that it's authentic?

as fas as i know, my friend's friend paid something like $3000 for the whole kit, so for that price range is it safe to assume that they're authentic?

Post 9 pic 4 seems to have a Wald stamp in the inside middle of the lip. But do they have a emblem imprinted in them on the outside? They'd be real with that and Wald stamps. At $3k it is real though, unless he got ripped off haha

Authentic WALD kit no doubt about it. It's fiberglass and the stamp is clearly visible on the backside of the front lip.
You should check the spoiler for authenticity as well and sell it to me


Oh and please.... Get those things off the ground

thanks again guys. i will check for the emblem. my friend is out of town for another week, so i will do a more thorough examination once he returns.

we are actually planning to sell them. and actually have a couple more items that came with this too (F-Sport air intake kit & F-Sport exhaust), so PM me if any of u are seriously interested. otherwise they will go on eBay....

and don't worry, they have been off the ground for the past year or so, and are now safely wrapped inside a home.
