I need outsiders opinions!

I love my ST205 to death and am now starting to dump some money into some parts cleaning it up and making it my own.
The only thing confusing the hell out of me is my exterior styling! I am stuck whether to keep the stock rally look as it sits right now:


(Currently has black painted to match OEM riser blocks as well)

Or do I add on the SSIII sideskirts:



And the European lip:




I need your opinions here! Any input is appreciated biggrin.gif

^That's what I`m thinking.
Car is already sitting on TEIN coilovers so lowering it more wouldn`t be a problem.

I got the JDM tails, going to be ordering projects and new highbeams, then OZ chrono rims. Just unsure if I should do anything else exterior wise

Keep the wheels, I like them. Personally, I say either no kit or all kit. I like the sideskirt-less look a lot right now, it just suits the car well because the wheels are fairly flush. But, if you do decide to go for the skirts, go for the Euro lip and maybe SS-III splitters in the rear. Please stay OEM though.

Only OEM. Ever. Never going aftermarket fiberglass.
You can buy the wheels if you'd like em wink.gif

I do like them, actually. Shipping from west coast CA would kill though...

Since you already have clear side repeaters, may I suggest that clear front indicators are an obvious upgrade? Here is the first ST205 in Russia with my clears......



and maybe projectors too?....

that's not oem, it's the erebuni-style 404a rear lip just molded on to the body.

leave it stock or get the full trd kit. anything else doesn't complement the factory lines as well as the trd does...

The more and more I look at the car clean now, the more I love the stock look, so..
OEM riser blocks on, and stock body wins! rally FTW! biggrin.gif




possibly some new rims, or maybe just refresh these ones from their curb rash.

leave it alone! It's great! Just JDMs all around and its perfect!

Still reckon you need to go clear front turns especially as you have clear sides already.They're a subtle update which would compliment JDM rears. Rims look great, I'd just get them refreshed unless you've wads of money burning a hole in your pocket.

Sorry but I personally do not like the look of these kits. Too big and flashy. I like the more subtle/oem look.
Had a fiberglass kit on my ST184 that I tore off right after I put it on. Just not a fan.
OEM just looks so much cleaner:

that front lip doesn't flow with the lines on an ST205, it doesn't look too bad on an AT200/ST202 but looks wrong on the red and black cars pictured
