Default AB Flug Type I or Type II spoiler?

My car didn’t come with a spoiler and I’ve enjoyed the look but now with a T&E bodykit, I think it needs something. I’ve got a 92-96 flush mount sitting in the garage but I’m trying to consider all the options. Here’s a couple I’ve found today. The first 2 are the AB Flub Type I and Type II. Yes I know the 3rd is an aluminum wing, but with its flush mount design, dare I say it… It might not look bad! :eek: The 4th is what my kit will look similar to. Thanks!

Yeah, I dig Soarer007's ride, especially the Canover suspension, but it's funny how the T&E kit makes an 18" look like a 16" rim. If I had to choose, AB Flug Type 2 for the wing. Definitely not that alum thing, I don't care how flush it is, plus it looks like something I made from an erector set once

If I HAD to pick, I would pick the first one, even though it goes up kinda high.

I REALLY like the AB type I. I was very close to purchasing it, until I roughly calculated how much everything would cost. The spoiler itself is over $500,, then to get it shipped from Japan, installed and painted I figure it would cost me at least $800. Which is out of my price range at the moment I just can't justify spending that much for only a spoiler. But who knows, maybe someday... I think it would be sweet to see it w/ the T&E kit (should go very nicely) if you can do it, then go for it!

Thanks for the comments. I’m definitely not going with the aluminum, especially since it looks like it can be made from an erector set! :-) I really like both the AB Flug’s. Does anyone have more pictures of either of these? I also like the Kaminari, and it may just be this picture, but it doesn’t look like it fits real well?

Also is this the AB Flug Type II? I guess it must be but it just doesn’t seem to have the nice lines as in the other pic.

Wow, that pic of the Kaminari does make it look like an aftermarket piece of s4!t. I honestly thought that it would swoop smoothly from the trunk surface on up. Regardless, the design is nice. It may be worth a phone call to see what they say and if they have some more pics. Post them if you find out anything new.

Default What about the ABFLUG II Flared Wheel Wells?

Forget the spoiler..any will do..

Look at the FLARED wheel wells on the AB FLUG type II kit.

That REALLY makes the car look aggressive!
I wonder if you can mate JUST those flared wheel weels to the stock kit on the 98-00 models.

Imagine those flared wheels wells w/the air scoop hood on the auto couture kit. Slap on some 19 inch Giovanna Genoas or HRE 546s and that would be as SICK as any new car out there outside of an SL55

This pic is off of importtoys (just in case you can't tell by the picture) lol . I have those same rims on my car, but they don't look half as good as they do in this pic. I think it's b/c of the fender flares, and it takes away that gap that is there.

And here's my car. Maybe if I had 18's, low pros, and cleaned them, then they would look like the first pic. lol But the fender flare definitly adds something to it.
