Default POLL: Paint stock side skirts or put on body kit

so i just lowered my car and now i noticed i'tll be really low if i put the buddy club kit on that i already have painted...should i put on the kit or keep it off and paint the stock side skirts red... i'm leaning more towards the keeping it off and painting the sides choice... i want it clean and not too flashy

painting all the black side skirts and black mouldings is very popular on H-T.... I wonder how this poll is gonna turn out

98% paint stock skirts
2% add buddy club kit

I suppose paint is not tech related

It is amazing how much cleaner and thicker a honda looks just by paiting the side skirts. No kit, just paint them, if you want it clean you will be happy.

Well it depends, is your car fast enough to compare with the look of the bodykit? Also if your car is leaning toward a showcar then yea slap the bodykit on and there you got yourself a showcar, but if your the "sleeper" type then don't put the kit on and paint the sides red.

I've never seen a pic of a carbon fiber lip on a del sol, but i'm sure you could find one.... I know they look hella good an eg, especially a red one!!!
