It's your car do what you want.
That being said, most of us are older and don't want a flashy car, we enjoy the stock looks.

Or like me, I road race.... honda bumpers oem are cheaper then body kits

They're rare, and produced in small huts underground to hide them from widespread terror campaigns against Bomex and Veilside

stock... kits crack, never fit right, prone to theft, or someone thinking you stole their kit.. not too mention your resale value if you ever try and sell it...

just some ideas before you kit your car, but do what you will with it. it is your car and $$$.

Oner major consideration everybody should think about is; How much attention do you want your car to get? just consider theft, your area, and where you park (preferably a garage)

Personaly I think stock looks best.

i think the WW mugen kit looks nice, and it modernizes the look of the car without taking away from it too much. i mean, that picture doesnt show a car any more flashy than a stock scion, or any other modern car.
