Default Can't decide which kit

I can't decide which body kit to get. I'm deciding between the Wald kit or the Fabulous kit. I just ordered a Netz Sports grill. My car is silver btw, what do you guys think?

Wald



Fabulous

Even though I dont have a GS I kinda like the Fabulous kit. I think it is more reserved and laid back. Both are tight and the Wald would be my choice for a more sporty look, but I'm a laid back kinda guy so Fabulous for me.

How come? The Fab kit is also a lip kit.

From what I've been told, the Wald front lip is a bit harder to mold because it actually wraps into the fog lights. You MIGHT be able to minimize the gap but it would be quite a bit of work to do an eliminate-the-line type of mold job.

Wald here

One quick note: If you get Fab. then you probably need the quad exhaust because of the rear lip exhaust opening is huge.
