just got the car back...pics and questions enclosed!
Just got my car back from being paint. As you can see I just kept the car black, but while there I replaced the headlights, shaved all my emblems, did the DIY pre-97 lip on a 97+ trick (thanks Sc400on20s), and painted my TT wheels. My questions are as follows. Now that I have new headlights would getting them "clear bra-ed" protect against oxidation or could i just be save doing some waxing on them like once a week? Second now that i have the lip on up front Im not sure how I feel it flows with the rest of the 97+ sides and rear. I am thinking maybe I should go for the JIC sides and rear since they sit just a little lower. Im almost certain I could cover the cost of the sides and rear by selling my stock parts. Now, on to the pics:

I like how the lip lowers the front and makes it look taller, but I still don't like the way it squares the front end off. It needs to round out at the bottom rather than cut off.
I love the license plate though
The car is much nicer than the wheels are at this point.

does that mean you don't like color of the wheels?

Car looks great!
I actually prefer the look without the lip.. Perhaps when you get the JIC stuff put on it will settle better with me. IMO is all.
I think OLT is correct about the wheels also. A nice set of 19" CCWs would do nicely

haha i had a set of ssr sp-1s that i sold because the roads were i live "dont take too kindly to their type"
btw im still not sure how i feel yet about the whole lip thing. i definately like it but its like you said, i may need to see it with the jic sides and rear. im sure if i decided to ditch it, it wouldnt be hard to sell either.
