i will buying a kit soon and i'm still undecided whether i should go
kenstyle or fabulous. i think the fabulous looks better but i'm worried
about the ride height. do anyone know how lower it is than the oem kit?
the kenstyle looks good and paint cost will be cheaper.
give some input guys. i just messed up my rear bumper today
and getting it fixed will cost me $400. might as well change the body
kit know cause i will get a kit next year anyway.
what do you guys think?

With the kenstyle one, its only a lip kit from my understanding, so if you need a new bumper, you are going to need it for this. If you want to put that $400 towards a kit, I would recomend getting the fabulous style kit.

Those kits look good. ^^^

But yeah, that's a question. I like the Kenstyle cause it's clean. But sometimes I never realized the xB's that had that kit because it doesn't stand out as much as the Fabolous kit.

I would get the Kenstyle. In order to finish off the Fabolous kit, you would need the right looking rims and such...which I don't got the money for.

kenstyle is a nice lip kit, but if you are looking for a bumper replacement then go with the fab kit

i just went to a body shop and got an estimate with the fab kit.
do you guys think $1000 is a good price?

Is that painted? Is it installed? If not, then not really. I would check around.

1,000.00 is absolute madness, it's 4 pieces and fitting it to the body....Bing I can get you a much much better price... My genie is going on in march for 500.00 (painted)

and I wouldnt dream of putting a fab kit on in the winter in Chicago, do you know what the salt the trucks lay down can do to a car??? no, leave it stock still the weather gets nice again......The fabs to sweet to be seen dirty all the time...

anything will scrap depends how and where you drive. I have a 2" drop, no kit and I scrap all the time. its mostly my exhaust though

ohh and by the way kenstyle makes 2 kits the EIK(lip) and the Urban(full) which one are you talking about??

yeh when i ordered my kit, they sent me fab sideskirts insted of the tcsportline ones needless to say i shipped them backUmm, why would you do that? A fabulous kit comes with fabulous side skirts.

I'd go for the NKB kit over those 2, but that one's pretty expensive so I'd just hit the aeronation one.

maybe because he didn't get the fab kit,he got a evo5 bumper(http://www.aseclub.net/phpBB2/images/smiles/puke.gif) with the tcsportline sideskirts, and a fab back bumper
