Default White Origin kit?

So I just finished picking up my car parts and am getting ready to paint it, but I'm curious as to if I should keep my color. I purchased the following parts:

1. Origin front bumper
2. Origin side skirts
3. Origin rear bumper
4. Origin +25mm front fenders
5. Origin carbon fiber roof spoiler

The problem is that my SC400 is DPW and I'm a bit worried that the mouth of the front bumper being too big for DPW and that it would create a gaping hole in the front. A darker color such as black or Ferrari blue may make it seem a bit more filled. Especially since it is a sc400 and doesn't have that intake to show off. I'd hate to change the entire color of the car since I've grown quite fond of the pearl white, what do you guys think?

I think I ended up paying about $1125 for everything shipped to my office. It arrived through freight delivery today. Probably not a smart idea as I now have a ton of car parts in my office.

i believe there is a member on here with a white SC with an origin kit. I forget wat his sn is but there he posted a thread about his car a while back. You might want to take find that thread or if anyone knows which person i am talking about. He has a Singled 1jz and is sponsored by some big companies i think.

If i were you, and if i had the money i would paint it a darker color.


******EDIT*******

heres the thread

Thanks Vinh, that gives me a much better visual. I'm still not sure what I should do with the gap of the mouth since my car doesn't have that fmic, but I suppose I need to mount my front license plate anyways before I get pulled over. I wonder if that would look super weird.

I was able to pick up the sideskirts and rear bumper for really cheap through a local place. He had just bought the kit and put on the front bumper, then totalled the car the next day before he was able to install the sides/rears. He sold the sides/rears to me for 250 total. Everything else was 875 shipped with shipping being 185 bucks. I could have gotten it a bit cheaper through another place, but I felt 700 for the front bumper, carbon fiber roof spoiler, and front fenders was fair. I had to find a place other than raceonusa because I'm in California and there would have been taxes involved.

I would really like some feedback on the Origin rear bumper as far as fit. I was looking at buying a rear bumper but want to make sure it fits well.

Here is my Origin kit painted flat black, the kit fits nice. We had to do a little triming and what not, but it worked out just fine as far as fitment. I just need to get my Equips put on to complete it.
