Default WingsWest bodykit or OEM bodykit?

Wassup guys..kinda need some opinions here...if you have about $6000 in your account..(after years of savings), would you spend it all on the JDM front end w/ HID, or will you rather get the aftermarket bodykit for USDM R and spend the rest on something else or save it?

If to get the aftermarket bodykit for USDM R, which one will you guys recommend?

The wingswest typeW full kit (except the wing) or the OEM sides and rear?

Thanks

Wayne

Its all what you like

But if you want my opinion I would say if your looking to do only mods for "looks" I would go with the JDM Front + OEM Body Kit + Install and you should have some money left over for a few other small goodies like ARC Winglips

If you want to make the car faster get a cam setup either Toda A's or B's valvetrain upgrades etc, Spoon Header, etc.

oem.

but why do show when you can do go?

not a flame, but take it from one who has the oem kit. side skirts are clean and pop right on. the rear pieces will require 2 holes on each side.

Maybe get a jdm kit to complement the jdm front? mugen? c-westin? that would be clean...

The JDM front looks great, but $4,000 spent wisely equals mucho power gain!

Can you really still get the OEM though? Is it already color matched, too?
