Wald or JP? suggestion?

for my W126 500SEL, i have narrowed down wether to plan on using a Wald or JP kit. the JP kit is a bit more expensive, but not too absurd. i'm just trying to settle on this so i can plan around everything else because i'm going to do air, wheels, and interior first. once i get all of that done, it will look sexy enough for me to justify dropping big bucks on a nice kit. and there's no fvckin way i'm installing a kit before i get an air ride setup because the last thing i want to do is demolish a kit that costs 5 figures. so. honest opinions. just to get an idea of the wheels, i'll be using more of a monoblock style wheel. no thin 5 spokes or anything, but a more flat surfaced large centered wheel. i can tuck as big as 12s in rear and 10s up front. probably 19s depending on what offset i can achieve.

well, that's sort of how i view it.. i mean, the JP looks very vip, however the bottom half of the car is more smoothed which clashes with the rest of the upper body lines. those body lines are to tie the ends of the car together since it's such a long tank. broad open surfaces tend to make it look bland. but somehow, i still like the JP kit. the Wald kit isn't as aggressive, but still it blends in with the rest of the body lines. seems like more people like the JP than the Wald, but please tell my what specifically you like about both of them. cause personally, i like both and with that said, the Wald kit is about 1/3 the price of the JP kit not including the bootlid spoiler, roof spoiler, vents (which i don't want anyway), tailights, headlights, grille, turn signals, or any of the other trim bits. JP kit comes with airdam, skirts, rear bumper, and side cladding.

here's some more pics of a JP kitted W126. seems like it would look much better in person.

Euro tails...but I bet you just meant to say the tails on the Wald car. There's actually better ones out there than those..I'll try to dig them up..but I do agree with you.

Some of those pics don't look like the junction produce pictures. The junction produce kit seems to keep the factory chrome where as 2 of those pictured don't. Are there more pics out there of the junction front?

I've never liked those sideskirts that wald tends to put on their cars, so go with JP.

If you get it, it will be awesome.

What wheels were you looking at?
