is the kit progressively uneven? im not trying to bust balls but it looks like the FR lip is the lowest, the side skirts are a lil higher and the RR lip is the highest. or is it just me (or supposed to be like that)

Appreciate the comments guys!!

As far as the kit being uneven... i have questioned myself, but they're made by Wald and oddly enough this is how it turns out.....

I'll check around to see other ls400 with the Sportline kit to see if it is similar....

Very nice! The only thing about the Wald kit is the rear piece always seems to get that "wrinkle" by the exhaust outlets. It's almost like they should have made the rear in 3 pcs instead of 1. What are the specs on those wheels?

hmm not feeling 19's...

lower offset wider 18's will be better and coilovers in the mix...

but in all it's at daily driver status...

saving up for an ls430 but banks dont want to approve 20k+ to an 18 yr old =(

i got the same kit as yours and i had the same problem. I wish i had a camera to show you mine. I body shop told me that they had to shave some corners on the kit before puttint it on. Might wanna see if that helps

ummm I'm not understanding what you are trying to say...

The kit does not have a problem fitting... it just looks awkard because the rear lip is at the highest point....

What would a bodyshop need to shave??:runcoold:

right now its just a muffler delete... you can see it if you look reaaal close at the rear end picture...

as far as it goes... I'm planning to do 2.5 inch straight piping from the cat back to (4) 3inch tips...

those are the plans for exhaust!!!

I'm looking into air bags or coilovers next... ahhh the decisions!!
