Question decisions.......need opinions

ok here is the dillema.Bodykit, which one? Here are some chops of the predicted outcome.Neither of these cars are mine, but they both have the kits i have in mind and are both black.If this is your car and you want this post taken down just let me know.basically I just put my wheels on these two cars to get an idea.First one is the Blitz kit, second is the Lsportline minus the front bumper.I like the Lsportline for its reliability, since the BLitz is fiberglass, that concerns me.But on the other hand the Blitz is more aggressive and I really like that about it, esp. the rear piece.I think the Lsportline goes better with my wheels.Which leads to the next dillema.Forget the bodykit for now and get the wheels that I am in love with?Ahhh this mod bug is a ***** give me some opinions here

mmm, thats interesting.I am not sure I like the Lsportline front as much as some others though.What about the Veilside Executive side skirts? those look nice as well

here are the wheels I am thinking of instead of the kit.Again they are photoshopped. Finding a good picture of these in chrome is tough.If anyone has a pic of the Gettins in chrome, any angle post it here please.

I tell ya, I am feelin that WISE kit except for the back.I dont like the WIN kit though. I am not to sure about the Wald I have only seen it on a black GS before and couldnt really tell.Got any better pics of it? I really like that Aerolid(?) they have.Have you seen that? The trunk lid with the spoiler cut into it, now thats unique as well as nice looking IMO.

yeah i stole that pic, but i cant seem to find a straight head on side shot.I love lookin at those lips but they are a ***** to photoshop onto a side shot of my car.What scares me though is that there is no listing for a 20" on their site

I like the Blitz kit, except that the vent really overwhelms the front spoiler... but it does look aggressive which you like. I also like the Veilside executive sides and rear, but not sure what to do for the front. By the way, what ever you decide to do, I expect it to be completed by the meet on Sunday... no pressure though
