Fabulous body kit... different variations?
#16
That doesn't sound right at all, there is no way in hell I could have got my canards any more flush than they are.

I just spoke to Jin, who is in charge of all Fabulous USA sales, he is going to take some pics for me today of both the FRP and CArbon side by side. They are the same thing. I beleive there was a change somewhere along the line, and thats why some pics have the original prototype design they came up with. In either case, I hope the pictures, which I will post up later today, help in the discussion.

[QUOTE=Batmobile;2421747]I've been back and forth between the ING rear add on lip and the fabulous side canards.
The thing is... i look at the fabulous kit sometimes and think.... Fabulous all the way... and sometimes when i look at it... i think... uh... ING...
so i was trying to figure out what the hell's wrong with me... so i compared two fabulous pics side by side... is it me... or are the rear's totally different?
the one that i like
the one that i'm unsure about (sorry for posting your pics hope you don't mind)
for one thing... how the lip curves into the exhaust is totally different. So i thought to myself...maybe it's the angle but i don't see any way around it.
the black fabulous kit doesn't seem to bulge out as much on the sides either... it looks as if it's almost flush to the rear bumper.
while this one significantly sticks out
now just random pics of the black one
and another of the grey
[/QU
Does anyone know what exhaust is being used on the very top sik *** looking IS?

Thanks carson appreciate the pics. correct me if i'm wrong because pictures can be deceiving... it looks like they're still a little different. looks like if i go with the fab rear add on lip i'll be going with the FRP. thanks again.

The FRB and CF look definitely the same in there, I have the FRP painted black and it does NOT look like the pictures on the website...
definitely a change somewhere...I was pretty lazy and didn't get these on for a couple months after I received them...Is there a way to get the exact same rear ones as on the Fabulous Black IS350 in the picture from your website? I would definitely trade mine in for those and take a loss of some sort...I am also in So CA and will drive over to the dealership for you guys to inspect the piece/install as well...
Here are my pictures, NO WAY I could get them more flush than they are, perfect fitment on the piece, but definitely a different design...pictures should be updated on your website, b/c it is definitely misleading, I was hoping to get the exact same ones as on your website pictures, but got these...
Also a little pissed off as you can see there are scratches on my rear bumper from when someone hit me/backed into me at a parking lot, no note left...this was on valentines day and I was out with my girl and came back to this...

Just a quick question that's out of topic (don't mean to hijack the thread or anything) do all IS’s have that diffuser below the car? I don't remember seeing it on mine.
