to lazy to find the pic but it looks pretty good on the one car i saw it done on.
okay i get it people don't like the rims, send me like $1000 to get new ones, or please move on and make a suggestion that might help.
So far its for sure ditch the banner, and keep the turbo on the list for after i pay off the car.
the big one remains what to do with the lips...?

From all the RAs I've seen around that try to paint the bottom skirts black all around, none of them look good IMO. It ends up looking weird. I would suggest getting RRM's fiberglass front lip and paint it silver to match the car. In that way you can keep your color scheme as is (CF hood and wing for the top of the car, keep the bottom all silver).
DO NOT GET ACCOLADE FENDERS unless you want to intentionally increase the rice factor.

1.) Definately, remove the banner.
2.) I'd say lower the car before considering a lip. I checked out your CarDomain page, and to quote what you said, "I made sure to always put performance first." Blah, blah, blah, lip adds front downforce at higher speeds.....lowering (if done correctly) will yield more tangible performance at any speed.
3.) With the CF hood, have you considered a CF trunk lid for visual balance? White and Silver RA's, in my opinion, offer the best canvas for CF parts.
4.) The wheels are fine. They wouldn't be my first choice, but you like 'em, so go for it
Nice job!

considered the trunk but i think it wouldnt look good. never liked them on any car just my .02 though
i doubt the lip kit will be painted black it would look like after buying my other stuff i couldnt afford CF and tried to fake it. i have talked to rock who made it sound like it full cf kit can be done, never gave me the def. answer or the price.
lowering will only come if i do coilovers, which i was thinking about but rock has just mentioned the ported and polished head which has me beyond stoked but will def. kill my funds. and the RPW throttle body is higher on my list too.
the fender was a consideration also scared it would add rice.
the banner needs to come off but its right now 9degrees straight temp. outside which is to cold for me to do it.

I think the car looks great as it is... if you really feel the need to change the front of the cars appearance why not a new front bar here are plenty to chose from these days with Accolade and what they have on offer... otherwise I feel as though you are just getting something that you already have....
I have never been a fan of the big and very common Ralliart banners they just look too common and a bit dated now
If you did get a Cf lip kit all round the car it might look too over done and from a distance it would look like it is a raw f/g kit that has not been painted so it would look tackey especially on a silver car and it will detract from the nice hood that you have
just my 2cents worth hope I did not offend

Christine, none taken.
Retro: pic 1 looks mean, but with all my CF think it wouldnt look as good.
Pic 2 lip looks bad ***, just wish it could be the full kit.
I think anythng i plan on or talk about in this thread has been put on hold due to the talk of the RRM ported/polished head. if its in the 1200 range like they said the style is once again thrown to the back burner for MORE POWER!!!
