Default Fabolous front lip

Hello guys,
I want to purchase the fabolous lip kit on next mod. For those of you who did purchase the replica lip kit, how is the fitment? Also, is the fabolous lip kit more aggressive than the gfx front lip kit? Would you be able to tell the difference between stock and fab lip kit installed? Share your thoughts on the lip kit please!
Thankyou

definitely...you could just search for pictures of the fab lip to know that it's vastly different from oem. compared to the gfx, the fab is more aggressive looking, but in terms of how much lower it makes your front-end, they're about the same.

Haha thanks man! I did search for some pictures of fab lip but couldnt see the shape and contour of the piece because the lip was installed on black is350s. I was thinking about purchasing fab front lip with gfx rear and side? Will this look good or should I purchase fab front and rear with gfx side skirts? Or should I should purchas the whole fab kit! LOL sorry to make things complicated but help me =D

you didn't find anything because you didn't spell it right.

it's "fabUlous".

once you find Rashoodz's "Links of Bodykits" thread through search, scroll down in the first post, and there are several links to other 2is owners who have either the front lip and/or the rear canards.

I'm running the Fab front lip and Tom's rear, stock sides... I like the Fab front cuz it flows with the shape of the car.

The fab lip looks very good on our cars...the carbon fiber replica I got from a guy was spot on with fitment and looks sick!

Here are some pics I could find of the CF Fab rep and fitment.





Fitment was spot on and I installed it myself. Replaced it after I got in an accident, and dealership more or less forced me to get GFX and drilled.
