How would this look?

OEM front with euro R sides and rear? I like the JDM sides and rear. But how much does the OEM kit lower the look of the car? And how much does the JDM one do it? Anyone have an idea?

IMO, I like the Euro R kit in general overall but I would imagine that the Euro R back and side would make the car appear lower as the back of the JDM kit seems to slant down straight rather then curving underneath the car like the OEM kit does...

Get the Mugen or Kenstyle oh wait you dont' like fogs, so full Mugen or Phase with Euro-R/Type-S side and rear.

Ken style is cheesy in my opinion. But hey thats me.I also don't think the euro r kit is agressive enough. I am thinking a full mugen kit. I kinda wanted it but then I don't .I wanted the Phase kit but that is no longer being made anymore. Since Phase is out of business now. AHHH I guess I am stuck with mugen...I gotta save my loot for a while cuz that kit is gonna hurt my pockets!!!

I want to be different. If I went OEM I would eventually change it anyway so why waste the money. I don't know. I probably wont be able to afford a Mugen kit for a long time lol. So I may get the OEM for the time being AHHH I don't know.

you could do some sort of mess or plastic in the jdm fog holes...similar to the oem setup. i dont know how you could do it so it didnt look ricey, but I am sure you could find something.

I also need to cut out all the mounting in the stock Fog holes. I removed my covers. I wanted to just remove it on the side where I had my intake...but then it looked funny with just one so I took them both out and I am gonna cut off all the mounting areas...one of these days. Yea a mugen lip...but still that lip is almost as much as the entire OEM kit lol. Gonna be a while. I refuse to put a kit on piece by piece and unpainted. I will buy it piece buy piece and just let it sit till I can get it all done.
