Brabus is not much better imo. the carbon fiber is used to save weight. but when u have stick on carbon fiber for look, that's gay. it's the worst can happen to a car like SLS.

No your attitude tells a lot about your taste. When I asked for opinions and suggestions I expected some courteous and mature opinions. Coming in here and calling my work "gay" tells me you are looking for trouble. You did not comment on the actual subject of the thread. You chose to make fun of my car for no reason. The thread was started comparing the Hamman and the Fab Design kits. There was no need to bring up my car.

I understand you are jealous, I don't blame you

The greatest comments you can give to a body kit (in my opinion) are that it improves the look of a car and appears OEM/factory. Neither of these really meet that criteria in my opinion. I like the FAB design more than the Hamman because it just exaggerates the car's natural lines and bulges, for the most part. I like the stock design and body of the SLS, but if I were to modify the exterior, I would like something more in line with the SLS GT3, which is likely what the Black Series SLS' body will be based on.



In either case, it will definitely stand out even more than the standard SLS, but maybe for worse reasons, depending on who you ask.

Hard to tell. I like the Fab, but it may be due to the paintwork. Hard to compare with that ugly brown/cf mix.

I love the white one posted above. ^^

I saw my first black stock SLS this past weekend and it didn't have the wow factor.

LOL! i guess u didn't read me clearly. where did u see me calling ur work ''gay?'' i don't get it. i was referring member C280Sport's post about the Brabus kit, which u see me directly quoted his post. i wasn't calling out his personal choice either. i simply said the idea of stick-on carbon fiber parts that Brabus designed is gay because i thought they couldn't done better than that. i don't see in any way that i'm trying to attack u & ur taste. i just said what i thought on specific design. don't be so sensitive. now the jealous part is totally un-call for...

+1, very well said and I couldn't agree more! I take the same approach to my builds, accented but a very 'factory' look. You see some absolutely God awful body kits here in the Middle East from time to time, bling overdose

I believe the Brabus model is the most superior in every respect. The others are too exaggerated and with vents and bulges that are over the top

I have to admit that the SLS GT3 would be my fav. But out of the two on the poll, I would go with the Hamman.
