Icon2 Thinking OEM almost?

Hey guys, I need a vote here. I have a 96 Acura Integra that I'm going to be repainting. I have a lip for it, side skirts but I want to give it a bit of a stock look to it. It is an LS special and i want to keep the trim pieces on the sides so removal is not an option. Here's my ideas...

A) color match the trim?

B) paint them a flat black, almost oem style?

C) paint the trim and mirrors black? This one
I'm kinda hit and miss on.

Also, I was thinking of going with stock GSR rims or another OEM style. A friend of mine wants to see what the oldschool CRX rims would make it look like. Or should I get aftermarket rims. It is going to be turbo so I don't really care to draw attention. I'd like to go with a little bit of style and but slightly mellow looking.

Feel free to throw any ideas at me. I want to start painting the teg next week or so.

I would say go with black trim, but I think that would really depend on the color you're painting it. Can't go wrong with paint matching.

I really like the GSR blades a lot. I did find a set of polished blades and was thinking whatever style I go with I'll keep a spare in the trunk. I was thinking of doing whatever rims I go with in a bronze coat with a polished lip? I also have a friend with a set of the of the CRX rims of this style

For some reason I really like these ugly bastards.

polished lips IMO only look good with wheels that got a decent size lip..
