Need opinions on body mods

Ok here's what I had planned... carbon fiber VIS 4 vent hood and Rotary Extreme headlight kit. I still need to figure out what front bumper. I currently have Racing Beat skirts and the stock R1 wing, but I'm thinkin I may change those up to get a new look with the bumper. I was thinking about going with the GTC front and sides? Whatcha think?

IMO, dont mix and match fronts with side skirts and rears, none of the cut lines or angles will match and it'll look terrible. Im a fan of the full GTC kit tho

You can mix and match... but YOU do have to be careful to match the front and rear and skirts. Otherwise, it WILL look terrible

Here's an example of one I really like.

I personally think the GTC nose looks best on a wingless car. Here is an example of a modified FD(non GTC nose) w/out a rear wing...i looks SEXY. The kit isn't my fav but I can see with differnet parts a wingless FD looking better

yeah i was thinkin about going wingless for a while anyway if i go with the gtc kit... just have to add a little speed tape to the holes

umm what about stock wheels with the gtc kit? I'm thinking about powdercoating them darker soon though hopefully. I know stockers wont make the kit what its worth, but for now....

I think that a car with a body mods and stock rims look incomplete. If you run them for awhile with the intent of replacing them I'd say stay away from powdercoating them. The stockers powdercoated gunmetal look pretty damn sweet though.

Yeah Im just not in a financial situation where I can drop money on rims (college student). I just got in a wreck which ruined the front bumper, hood, and headlights so I figure I might as well replace those parts with aftermarket with the money I am getting from insurance.

I do know that with significant body mods and stock wheels looks incomplete, but i think i may have to head that direction for now. But thats why I was asking you guys opinions.
