Lol sorry

1st of all, with a stock itr suspension/ ride height , does:

Front & rear mudguards make the car look lower than oem optional side/rear lip kit.

Or would the optional rear valences/optional side skirts make the car look lower than the mudguard setup?

Weird question, but I would think the option kit would make the car look lower. Mud guards dont really make it look lower IMO. Im sure you could google stock ITR images and get a good idea.

The optional kit adds visual height to the rockers and rear fascia. The mudflaps, due to their color, largely fade away visually on the road.

The optional kit with surely make the car look lower.

I hate those optional kits. Sorry, just my opinion. If I was faced with a choice of that or the mud flaps, I'd go with the mud flaps. However, neither of them is best ;-)

Thanks for the input everyone!

I currently have mud guards on the R at the moment; however, I have the oem rear valences paint matched and need to get the side skirts paint matched. Thought I'd switch it up, n hopefully it looks good with the oem ride height + mugen mf10's with 215/45/16's. I know there will be a gap but I recently drove my R for the first time in almost 2 years and I'm totally against upgrading the suspension. The oem itr suspension is perfect imo. The bigger wheels/tires + oem lip kit hopefully will make it look a *little* lower than without those things.


Thanks again
