#87897, "Side skirts, or call it quits on the body?? Help..."


          

So, I am trying to keep my car sleek and subtle. I have a 97-99 front and rear conversion, 95-96 sideskirts, m3 mirrors, debadged rear, and a wings west spoiler. See the pix on the bottom of this thread;

I have a pair of new blitz low skirts, I am puzzled as to whether I want to put them on now. I don't want to push her over the edge and ruin a good thing. What do you think? Should I call it quits on the exterior now, or add the skirts? Opinions everyone?

i think it looks real nice and clean now i wouldnt change it especially with blitz side skirts their overdone and i think they change the smooth look of the cars lines to something more rough, maybe another type of side skirt but def not the blitz your car looks sweet as is now i wish my car looked that clean

I say go for the 97-99 skirts since they make the car look a bit more grounded and just plain awesome and you're done. My only body needs right now are 97-99 skirts and the RMDSM lip.

Yeah, I got the blitzs practically for free. They are the lows. I always liked these however;

Then again, I hear you on how clean she is now. I may sell the blitz lows. Keep the feedback coming. Thanks.

A lip is a definate for me as well, once I get bigger rims that raise her up a tad. Too low for the rmdsm on sportlines with 16s

I feel your pain on this delima man.

I myself ask myself if I should call it quits on the body of my car due to the fact that it is a daily driver and bitches in honda's WILL door ding your car no matter what you do.

Plus the fact that I've invested a crapton of money into my turbo kit it makes me just want to do all performance and screw the body.

I color matched my door handles on the talon and that was enough for me.
