Ditch it...it doesn't even look right with those wheels on your car. Also, I know this has probably been asked...but whats up with your side mouldings? I assume you took off the moulding and just filled the holes with bondo and some touch-up paint?

they're just welded w/o bondo so it's not perfectly smooth, and they're just primier over so it wouldn't rust.

I like those sideskirts, and always will. I don't know why people hate on them so bad all the time. I mean damn, Mugen invented the design (although those Mugen wheels from about 10 years ago are about the most horrid things ever).

If you keep it get some different rims.
I definitely think you should get a different hood. Either CF or OEM.
