Take care of your reliability/performance mods first.

I happen to like my 'body kit'

I'm not a fan of body kits either. I would keep it stock looking; however, if my mind were to ever change and I had an FD to do it to, I would go with nothing but Amemiya stuff.

^yes... there are a bunch of guys with gay cars on this forum, and no... it is not better to have a gay car than to actually be gay.

The best advice i ever gave my customers was "Form Follows Function."

If you make sure to use the parts that actually make a difference in the function of the car you will ALWAYS get the styling part correct. I can't imagine anything worse than throwing a ton of fiberglass on a car that truly does not need it. you don't need a widebody so what are you going to get out of a bunch of fiberglass other than "yo, thats tight!"?
