Default What Kit would you choose?

I have about 6 year old driver side rear quarter panel damage,

i have neglected to fix for years, since i felt my car would get hit again...

i am thinking of body kit since i am planning for some body work, it makes sense to proceed...with what i had planned years ago

Kits to choose: for my DC5 S 02'

Authentic Mugen

Knock off Poly-U Mugen ( i know the fitment might be off, but is it that bad?)

Carbon Fiber Mugen Kit (Do they still have these?)

i am leaning towards

1 or 3...

but i am not sure if im down for either...

are theives still jacking kits these days?

and the messed up thing is, i would need new rims too hahah...

and paint and finish...

i was thinking about going matt black for my ride...

or should i just get a S2000 hahah

i---------------

its glad to be back on the car forums, been gone for years

it just hit me

im not the type of person that is show, its too much of a hassle dealing with such a nice kit

and if i was really going to do this

i might pitch

1 or 3

so it depends on which i can get for a better deal...]

right now i am thinking of a detachable small racing steering wheel...

performance wise, of course i would love to add a blower, but i am content with its performance right now...

i might finally invest in suspension... i wonder if the tein damp controllers are cheaper these days...

im freaking excited, after 10 years, i am finally going to do something with my ride
