help with body kit

I am looking at getting a body kit for my 8. Things fell through with JOD so i am back at the beginning. I am gonna go with the Autobahn front, and sides, but the rear bumper is what im not sure about. I am thinking about the Fabolous or Kenstyle rear bumper. Please give me some input and let me know which one will look better!!! if you have pics please post.

Use the search function! There are plenty of pics of Autobahn and the Kenstyle rear, not so much the Fabulous. I'm not even aware of anyone that has the Fab rear. I know a few people have the Kenstyle.

with an autobahn kit you shouldnt get anything too wild....keep in mind its somewhat angular so you should be looking in those lines to keep it consistant....i would say kenstyle is nice, ms is nice autobahn is ok for what it is.....something along those lines and you cant go wrong

I wouldn't go do far as to say he's the only one in the entire US, but certainly the only one on this forum. I've seen pictures of other 8's with the rear so he's not the only one in the entire country.

I actually just pulled the trigger on mine.

I ordered the MS front and sides, and decided just to get the rear aero's. Brought down the price a bit.

If I would have to pick a rear, the Fabolous is probably my favorite.

yea i knew ngo had the kenstyle rear, I sent him a P.M. about it. but i was just wondering what everyone else thought of the kit. Im tryin not to copy NGO, but we have the same taste in cars i guess...i dont know what kind of side skirts he has...but i give him props his car is prolly one of my favortie on the site...and my car will be different, first of all mine is VR and not black. and i have a black and silver decal down the side...I know people dont like stickers but its nothing to much and I think it adds a little extra to my 8, plus it makes my car stand out a little more, not that an 8 doesnt already stand out enough.

we're talking about the Kenstyle rear, not the Autobahn replica Shine did. I'm not aware of anyone who replicated the Kenstyle rear, or any other Kenstyle aero part for that matter.
