How close to getting abs am I?

Ok guys and girls, I am currently weighing in at 171 lbs, sitting at around 17-18% body fat. I am only guessing that I will be able to see my abs around 160 lbs, but I am not sure. I believe around 13-14% body fat and you will be able to see some abs...am I wrong? If anyone could help me out on this assumption, it would be very much appreciated, thanks a lot everyone! :)

    Usually it's about 8-12% for abs.

    Yeah around 13-14% you'll see some abs.. But not the lower part.. That's the hardest for most people.. You'll see them maybe around 10% below. Just keep losing the fat, and you'll see them eventually. :)

    Depends , i start seeing abs only at 11-12% some people have abs at 15% ... all depends .. normally abs appear at around 12% when you flex and under 10% they will appear un-flexed
