Tuner Cars: Lexus IS by Wald

Usually when tuning company’s tune cars like the 3-Series, they go out of their way to give it more power. Sometimes they even add so much power, that it would almost sit the car next to the M3. Unfortunately, that’s not the case here. Wald International, headquartered in Osaka Japan, recently got their hands on the Lexus IS and ended up just giving it some good looks.

Wald’s IS250/350 Executive Line consists of a new front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper and rear spoiler plus Wald’s 19-inch Portofino silver polished wheels.

So no Lexus IS-F power here, but good looks nonetheless.

Don't really care much for the IS, not a bad car, but this tuning makes it look like a Mazda 6.

WALD has always designed some great quality parts for their specific line-up (mostly japanese)

the IS is of no exception here, its looks really good.

This car could really use some performance upgrades though.

Stock car itself is so beautiful and stunning that it doesn't require any Design modifications or at max reworked bumpers and wheels.

anyway good job Wald.

Looks better than the IS-F.

With the exception of the silly-looking rear diffuser, it does look considerably better than the IS-F.

But then again, the IS-250/350 is a very handsome car to start with...

Yes, which leads me to wonder how they could've ruined it like they did with the F.

I love the LS's Wald kit (very subtle and elegant, but sporty), but this one isn't doing much for me. Too fussy. Just give me a regular IS350 with those hot five-spoke wheels.

I own a IS350, but im not with how this kit looks. The stock IS looks better. This however is too busy. I would understand it would give the car some character, but it doesnt work for me. I know Wald makes fantastic products (i also like thier LS) but this is nothing like it. For the IS, go with TOM'S or +INGS, i say.
