Default Final decision time, help me choose between these 2 bodykits

I've finally narrowed down to 2 bodykits that I like, Carlsson and Fabulous, and is really hard to pick one. I fell in love with the Fabulous kit from day 1, however, that was when I saw the kit on darker color cars. I've looked at a few member's rides that are GFM with fabulous installed, and some how, it doesn't look as good on lighter color cars such as GFM or white.

Right now, the carlsson kit looks amazing to me on a GFM, CSPEC had it before (i'll put up some pictures later for reference). So now, I'm leaning towards the Carlsson. What do you guys think? which kit will look better on a GFM? Carlsson or Fabulous? Thanks for the inputs!

Carlson from CSPEC



Fabulous from another CL member

I'd have to say Fab. That's what I'll eventually be getting.

I like the Carlsson lip a lot better, a lot more visually interesting.

one of the reason i like carlsson is because it's more curved out, and the other picture someone posted a molded pic of that lip on a car looked amazing.
