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!!

 

I have the clear bra on my front and the WALD front lip spoiler fit on top of that.
no issues.

Wow! we should all have a WALD convoy.

pls take pics when it's done. teeman3

 

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!

 

..i will for sure take pics.. hey, what do u guys think i can do to help protect the front lip until i get the bra redone.. i cant wait...i hope the car will still look ok w/o the lowering of it. and henry.. if and when i get the tail lights..i might just have to pick up a case of beer...

 

I guess buy a different bumper to drive around in for a month until your Wald front end dries. You can always sell it after.

 

1) paint the front lip, but don't put it in for a month. put on the clear bra, custom cut, and then put it on
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

 

What if I want a wald kit but I want to drive fast and furious still? Will I be okay? I dont mind a few little chips.

 

You could always go with the famous blue painters tape until you get the clearbra. Might not look nice but it will protect it.

 

if you dont' mind chips on the lip, no problem

i drive fast in my sc430 too, lowered a lot with wald kits. never a problem. in fact, i have scrapped a lot with it, but all on driveways

 

how much did you pay for it? D2 has it on clearance for $1550 but I think l-tuned has it for $1450

 

yah, i know...i shopped around..I got it painted and installed for a really good deal..

i'll let you guys know how it is..i'll post up pics in a few weeks..maybe after the wheels..or maybe i'll just take 'em before the wheels..

but price how much did you pay for the kit alone, if you dont want to tell its ok, but can you say if you got it cheaper than $1450 just wondering what place has it for the cheapest.

 

she paid for the kits painted and installed, so i am not sure if she knows the detailed break-down

 

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..
