Wald Exec Kit getting installed..
Hi guys..
I finally ordered my Wald kit and it will be installed on sunday...
i was going to get my clear bra replaced (i accidentally hit a little something something).. 
But yeah, I guess im pushing the clear bra back so i can get the kit done and have the bra cover the front lip too.. Is this the right thing to do??? Do people normally have theyre front lip clear bra on? or w/o? But aside from that...I got the kit...and the wheels...im picking up in about 2 weeks.. bought 'em from a fellow lexus member. yay!! im so excited..Now, w/ that... I still need to get the tail lights..and maybe..maybe lower the car. I really dont want to though b/c i seem to always scrap the front and i know it wont be a good thing...
But i really want to say thanks to everyone on here...you guys are simply the best.. so very helpful to me..i really do appreciate it! Especially MR. Henry!!
super sweet guy and has answered all of my ?'s THanks THanks THanks!!

congrats, lisa. you are on a roll 
about the kits, yes, just clear bra them together. but you can't put on clear bra for 30 days after new paint. so its your call. within 30 days, very likely you are going to get chips on the front lip already
lowering would be nice, but i can tell you for sure it's going to be VERY low and hard to drive and taillights, i can only envy you
can't wait to see you soon, lisa!

2) put on the front lip, but drive ultra careful and make sure you dont' go over 60mph on freeway, and stay at lesat 10 cars behind the car in the front
my wife did number 2, and amazingly, for 4 weeks, she didn't get ONE single chip in the front lip. amazing

hi guys..i really dont know what the break down was...but im paying $2300 out the door w/ paint and install...
I figured..the quotes that i got for paint and install would be about $1000.. and the lowest i found also was at l-tuned $1450 plus tax just for the kit.. so i figured $2300 out the door was the best i found..
