What Do You Think of These Changes?

Doing some Exterior Changes and just wanted some input. This is the way she sits right now.

I'm ditching the 18's for these 17's.

I've got this lip to put on (glossy black)

And am working on getting this (or another like it). Will be either color matched, or glossy black like the lip.

The bodytrim is getting color matched when I get it repainted, again, same with the mirrors.
What do you think? Good plans? Bad? Am I messing up something nice and clean???

Put the spoiler on and color match it. Loose the 18"... 17 is a step down but 16 I think is ideal for your car (handling, weight, gear ratios etc..)

Front lip is ok.

color match everything! for sure.. i like your rims.. there is no need to spend more money on your wheel since you already have decent ones to burn off.... burn those off then get some new ones... 18's will really slow your car down unless you get really expensive ones... 17's look sweet keep em...

Nice taste in wheels.

The wing looks like it would definitely be functional, although I have a difficult time buying a wing that hasn't been tested in a wind tunnel. (personally)

I like the looks of the FC without a wing in most cases, but that wing definitely won't look bad.

here is my SHODDY photoshopping! I really suck at the whole cut/ paste thing. If you squint your eyes it looks pretty cool...

Sweet! Thats pretty cool, I do love those rims, I think they will look killer. Thanks for all the input, I'd like to sell my 18's before I get the new rims, BUT...if I can't sell em soon I will just HAVE to get the new ones anyway. The Lip should be here Monday or Tuesday I think...still working on the wing deal. I forgot to mention I'm getting GC coilovers with in next month, so even with the smaller wheels and tires, I will be able to make em tuck SO, color match everything? Or Black wheels, lip, wing, trim, hood(FG invert scoop)?
