Abflug Rear Bumper/Diffuser

I try to be open to differing designs but I don't like 90% of what Abflug puts out.

Not sure if threadworthy, but I figure Series 2 could use more threads, haha.

I want more pictures so I can figure out wtf is going on with the wing and trunk. The bumper isn't exactly a looker...

imo, 95% of that bumper is terrible. The only 5% that i like is the diffuser part...and that's right on the margin.

...wtf is up with that random triangle in the middle right about the diffuser?

ugh...i don't know about other car communities but the creations that abflug comes out with seriously makes me wonder how they're still in business.

I understand the triangle even if it looks like crap. If this is only an s2 bumper maybe they were trying to make it look more like an s1, since on a stock s2 they removed that little triangle at the bottom of the bumper the stock s1 has.

I would use the AB Flug Series 1 rear bumper. This one is too busy.

i can understand how they could have been shooting for that (the s1's triangle at the bottom) but i guess i just don't like how it sorta looks like its supposed to line up with the lines from the license plate area on the rear bumper...the license plate lines look more curved whereas the triangle above the diffuser look flat and much more straight.

This stuff looks like some mechagodzilla crap...
Too busy and too "ricey". Fake diffuser, various random openings etc are just too much imho.

I think it is just the angle you see. The full rotor image includes the license plate area.

unfortunately, if (when) the S2 becomes more affordable, we'll see more of these kits on 'em...

Not likely; don't think this will be a popular option; definitely don't think it will be widely available.

If anyone has the guts to bring over an Authentic Abflug S2 kit, I would be thoroughly impressed and respect it, that's for sure.

Contrary to most people's taste. I actually like a lot of kits that abflug comes out with. Just about anything that will make a car look like a spaceship is a go in my book for the most part.
On a serious note though, even I don't think I could do this to an 8; and I'm pretty heartless.
