The WALD kit is a front add on lip, correct? What about the rear? Is it an add on lip as well?

The rear shouldn't be a problem. If you're not intending on going back to stock, you can just have them shave down the bump on the rear sports valance (that's what I had to do on my car).

As for the front, I don't know that you'd have to have any fiberglassing done, but you'd have to take it to a body shop that could shave down the bottom of the sports bumper, so that the front lip fitment will work.

I took my car to Autocraft on Baldwin Ave.
