Of the three you are considering I would choose fabulous for aesthetic value. I had this lip in CF, (which I did not like, woudl have rather done reg). The caveat is that I felt it was especially low to the ground with a dropped car. BUt it has the ebst line of the three and is seamless.

Blits is chunky and too bolt-on looking for my taste. That picture of the blitz car in white really looks the ghost buster marshmellow man if you ask me.

Carlsson I was considering to replace my fab lip, (went with E114 instead). What first attracted me was the carlsson allure and the sport line. It also looked like the front center of it would be mor epractical as it sits higher form the ground. BUT... After looking at it more I do no like the line and connection points on the car. I do not care for the ridge it has all around the bumper, ie not seamless. SO I scrapped it.

Hope that helps.

It all depends what kind of rims you have. It's all about the overall look of the car.

With those wheels, and your car color.. I would personally go with Blitz together with the Grill. And for the rear I'd go with the Fabulous canards. Is your car dropped? Don't forget to post pics up!
