Default Opinions, Which kit do you think is nicer, Auto Couture or Fabulous

Hi All,

Need help in Deciding which lip kit to choose,
Im tossing up between the Auto Couture and the Fabulous lip kits
there are a few pros and cons with both kits,
Fabulous pros;
Headlight Eyeline looks good ( but will only put them on if I get a Fabulous kit), Deep aggressive front lip spoiler.
Fabulous cons;
Front lip is a little oversized due to no side skirts from Fabulous ( Appears to hang lower than rest of car.

Auto Coutre pros;
Lip kit blends well with factory side skirts does not appear to hang lower.
Auto Coutre cons; Not as aggressive as Fabulous, little more expensiver than Fabulous.

So let me know your thoughts,

Cheers

Fabulous Lip Kit






Auto Couture Lip Kit

honestly, both look good.

If you want a more OEM appearance, do AC

If you want more sporty-look, definitely Fabulous.

It's reasons like these why I love the GS so much. I think it's just a great looking platform and can be made to look sporty or luxurious!

i can't see sh-- in black.



actually, i'm gonna lean toward the fabulous. That AC is just a little too plain without the bulldozer scoopers, and the AC is thin on the sides.
the left and right sides of the fabulous lip match up with the height of the side skirts.

and if you don't like the left and right scoopers, you might be able to sand it down so it doesn't stick out as much.
