those exhaust are sweet, i think it gives the car a more elegant look
does the kit justified the $2.2k price tag?

fabulous is pretty good. the kit is nice, only thing i don't like is the front bumper, it sticks out a bit too much (style of fabulous), otherwise it's really good

one thing to keep in mind, that means you have to get the fabulous exhaust too?

price wise, 2200 i think that's the price before it comes into the US? keep in mind, shipping body kits here and clearing custom isn't fun. if it's 2200 shipped to your door, i say it's a steal

and i wonder how much the exhaust will eat up your wallet too. fabulous is good, they are fabulous in the price too

fab kit has its own style, it looks they have the same kit deisgn to all cars.. it's nice, but boring..
I'm a big fan of their wheels though, expand and profound.. deep dish hmm
But, in term of kit, with more cost, JP or Wald is better I think

Only you and your wallet can determine that one. =) It's a nice look though. Classy and I think the front bumper gives it an aggressive touch but less extreme than some other kits. There are going to be some nice GSes up our way.
BTW, I got those parts back from the body shop...still some minor issues but they'll get worked out. I may have my kit painted installed elsewhere though. PM me for details.

well if you talk about boring, to me all jp kits look the same too. i think it's not about being the same, but when you put all the cars together, you want them to say the same statements. so to me, if i see the whole lineup of fabulous or jp, i know they are together

and btw, wald is a lot cheaper....

True, but I know Fab for years, and I just know JP for a while, I think that's why it looks different for me..
I'm just being subjective
I got the positive side though, Fab kit is definetely unique JDM looks and recognizeable.. but it's just not for me..
Btw, wald is cheaper, true, but for an add-on kit, it's rather expensive, right?

the wald you can get it for around 1500, i think that's a pretty cheap price. my ugo is a lot more expensive and it's still add on

but while i love fab, man it's too low for me, i cant' drive
