Which company is better? Design concepts or ABC exclusive??

JUCD 5.0 · Nov 9, 2005

I'm getting readyt o buy a Corba R W/SVo scoop and a saleen rear wing and i was wondering which company was better quality the ABC exclusive or Design concepts??

Darkwriter77 · Nov 9, 2005

I've heard horror stories about the build quality of ABC's stuff. Cheap, but you get what you pay for. I wouldn't recommend anything but Cervini's - pricey, but worth every penny.

FWIW, your car looks badazz, already. Having previously owned one, myself, I can say with certainty that I loathe the Saleen style wings. Anything other than a factory ducktail type (hatchback GT) spoiler or a bare aluminum flat pro-stock drag wing (for those that actually need one) looks kinda goofy/ricey on a 'Stang, IMHO. Also weighs the trunklid down so that your lift supports don't hold things up without a little help, especially when it gets just the slightest bit cold outside.

i got my saleen spoiler from design concepts. it was perfect. so i decided to order a cobra rear bumper from them, it wouldnt fit. they refused to pay for the shipping back.

hit or miss, unless it's cervinis

i used abc, they are good quality for the $.

Not a problem at all with my ABC Exclusive Cobra R hood. The painter who painted my car said it was one the easiest pieces he'd prep in quite some time.
I've had more problems with my Cervini stalker bumper fitting correctly than I ever did with the ABC stuff.
I won't buy another product from Cervini’s; they’re way over priced for the quality you get in my opinion.

Why wouldn't the bumper fit? I have a design concepts saleen wing and mach 1 hood, both were good quality and good fit. I was going to order the cobra r rear bumper this winter but know not sure where to get it.

How bad was the fit?

Does anyone else have any input on the companys? So one of you say ABC has horror stories but then again 3 of you say their good? Anyone else have experience with either company?? I'm going to order the stalker bumper and the SVo Corbra R hood Monday so any help is really appreciated guys. Thanks

my dad bought a 4" cowl hood from ABC about 6 years ago and it was a piece of crap it didnt sit flat, it had big bulges in it, and it needed a lot of prep work b4 it could be painted. I say dont buy from ABC.

After that he bought a Cervini's and it fit damn near perfect!

JUCD 5.0 · Nov 10, 2005

Alright well thanks guys . Looks like i'm goin with Design Concepts because i havent heard anything bad about them

usually when you hear very little about something it means very few have ever tried it .
i wouldn't spending my $ only something that no one said anything about.

the bodyshop said they could attach it to one side, wrap it around the rear and it would be 1/4" too short. they tried starting from the center of the rear and going around, same crap, just the shortage was like 1/8" too short on each side. then they refused to pay for shipping back unless i showed them pictures with a ruler and crap. ridiculous. my stock bumper was already put back on by the time they said that.

Can't go wrong with cervini's.
And sorry to be negative, but pick another hood, the cobra R with the scoup is way too busy looking for an old car. IMO it's rice.

you're talking about my hood butthole and it looks fine. The very top flat part of the hood matches up perfectly with the stock gt spoiler.

No need to call me a butthole because you have bad taste. It's rice, whether you like it or not.
