Default What should I do? recommendations please

I am still debating on what to do with my car:

options:
1.) paint all stock lower body parts to white, like the front lip, sideskrits and rearlip
2.) get the greddy gracer lip and paint the stock skirts and rear lip
3.) get the greddy gracer lip and get the wings west w-type skirts and rear lip
4.) leave it the way it is<--unlikely though



this is a pic of my car, so what should i do? suggestions and pics appreciated.

thanks in advance
btw, please dont move this to the appearance forum. i want to ask accord drivers.

Well, those WW side skirts will likely get cracked on a bumper somewhere.... so I'd probably just stick to painting the OEM side skirts. If you want to spend the money, go with the Greddy front lip, but if there is anything in the road, you can say "bye-bye"... I'd probably skip the rear valence if I were you and paint the OEM one. Save your money for some performance mods.

come to think it, i completely agree! im basically trying to go for a clean look, stay away from outrageous body kits and just get somethingl ike the greddy gracer. ill be careful on the roads, i've seen a lot of trash on the roads in fairfax lately .


thanks for the opinions

3 still may sound good. If i am correct the wings west type w side skirts are urathene. right?? so then they wound crack .. they would actually take a good beating to mess up. besides paint scrap. but that will happen anyway. Plus they look like stock with a slight bend or light mod look to them.. do what you want
