The Wheel Supply, ask for Sander, in Walnut, California. I paid $1500 for the real thing.

Do you have any pictures of your car with the WALD kit installed?

Anyways, TWS or Sanders is the best person to go to for hooking up your car. I go to him for just about everything. Highly recommended.

wow, $1,500 for a real kit is a hell of a deal!

Hellah Fresh, not to invalidate 94Eclass's comment, but autoblz.com has a horrible reputation. Their kits are replicas, and they typically require tons of modifications to get them to fit properly. Since they're made of fiberglass, everytime you bump a curb or anything, it will crack. You'll have to sand it down, bondo/fiberglass it, and have it repainted.

I have heard nothing good about replica kits. I've heard that you spend the money you save buying a replica on getting a body shop to make them fit. That was enough to deter me from buying one.

I've heard that fiberglass is a ***** to get proper fitment. I actually heard this from Joef and Cali who both have used them. But if you're gonna try and save some money and you're good working with your hands, fiberglass on the sides and rear aren't as risky in terms of damaging them.

Yeah, I would never resort to getting a replica or fiberglass front bumper. I already hit my bumper right now and it's still stock.

I'm just curious as to how much work would be needed for the side and rears. I'm considering it unless I can find the real deal.

just call them, mang. I don't know if somebody mentioned this, but Wald no longer makes this kit. So you aren't going to see an original on the internet anywhere... unless you get SUPER lucky on ebay. At which point everyone and their dog will bid on it.

WALD W124 V4 kits are no longer made, you're out of luck. If you're lucky and they feel like it they might pull the mold off the shelf and make you one...

Chris - There's really nothing wrong with fiberglass because even the OG WALD kits are fiberglass. Alot of other high end tuning companies use fiberglass. Cracked bumpers and what not are the side affects of having a lowered car , you deal with if for a sweet looking ride. Fiberglass, ABS or even carbon fiber that's going to be a problem. Ask Albert how many Ferrari front ends he had to repair.The problem is the sh**Ty fiberglass replica kits out there that are warped, cheap thin fiberglass, and poor fitment would be stating it very nicely. yeah, avoid Autobliz aka Europassion or whatever name they go by nowadays, they push this kind of junk.

My advise to you guys wanting body kits for your W124 just wait a lil while longer Albert aka AS Designs will have one available for you. Just keep in mind you get what you pay for Albert does high quality work there's alot of time and labor that goes into making a high quality kit so don't be cheap!

I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!!!!! Ok i found this website today can called it. everything is legit. I called and ask about the WALD body kit and they gave me some infomation about how much and how long it will take to make. They told me there are 2 kind of WALD kit, one is a V-series and the oher is a regular wald. The price for the V-series is for $1880. which includes the fog lamps and the regular is $1600 w/o the fog lamps. The salesman said it would take 4-6 week before the bodykit is shipped. Also the bodykit isnt stock so they ony make the order when they recieve one. So everyone out there that has been looking ALLLLLL over the net for the WALD kit.. well here it is the site: http://www.gmpperformance.com. If you call the ext number is 259 and ask for Matt. Well what do ya say?

They are not 100% fibreglass. They are plastic reinforced with f/g. They actually have a little give. And the quality of workmanship is a huge difference. The real Wald kit was ready to paint. The replica the I originally had needed major hours of fixing and prep work.
Nice try

Its funny that you mentioned Europassion and they still posted on this thread.LOL
No one introduced him either, like he asked.

They also have Wald Style kits here for cheaper, but like CaliE320 said you get what you pay for.

Find out where DTMwerks is from. If they're from Malyasia /Indonesia they're also the same company as Europassion / Autobliz

Dude.. That DTM site look fake as hell. It has the same layout as Autobiz, Autorice, EUropassion etc.. they all look like a fake cheap scam site. I will NEVER order off a site that doesn't even have a contact number or address nor nothing not even a return email address. Just look at it! I rather pay the extra $500 From GMPPerformance.com and know that im really getting my product.
