WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK??? (I want your opinion)

Ok...so for ***** n' giggles (I'M BORED ) I've decided to request the opinion of my fellow forum members on the direction i should go with my car

I've gone back n' forth with trying to decide what direction i want to go in with the look of my car n' i'm literally about as fickle as a prepubescent teen. (...ask jedi lol).

anyways - Here's what i'm working with:


Option 1: Burnout Front Lip + OEM front (mind you i will have the badges removed)

OR.....



Option 2: Mazdaspeed replica front

(((semi-long read)))



DILEMMA:
I personally loved the burnout lip kit because of it's simplicity. Many people have stated how it looks relatively close to stock...which isn't too bad considering i've never been a fan of of the "over-the-top" looks (<==is my age showing yet?)....i feel that it suits what i'm going for over all however i'm gettin' that 'itch' to switch things up. I can't exactly place it but i feel that a new front end would really be refreshing. . . at least. . . until i finish my new project

HOWEVER

the MS kit has somehow grown on me (shut up jedi ). Granted - there are some fitment issues but nothing i couldn't get a shop to hammer out in less than 15 minutes. (hell, if i get bored enough this weekend, i might do it myself). The style is also simple and classy. My only gripe (slight) with this kit is that it is not entirely uniform with the rest of my kit. Mind you - this probably is not noticable to like 90% of the people viewing this unfortunately...i'm a part of the remaining 10% that are THAT OCD....which sucks because having options + fickle + ocd = headache.




****TL;DR****


BOTTOM LINE:

^Which would you pick?


p.s. - i'm also open to suggestions - except for veilside or abflug (because i dislike them)...or autobahn or vertex (because there are too many of them here in socal )

After seeing Hoss-05's car out of paint with the authentic MS, I can't see ever rocking a replica. I vote for the burnout kit and I vote that you have your Forgestars redone in Mag Blue

Wait, what does Jedi know about prepubescent boys?

I think you should go abflug.




















I like both, but i'm leaning more towards the MS front


edit: Now that i see you want to go mag blue, go with the burnout. MS is a little too simple/plain for such a great color.

Suhweet! I have been meaning to do mag Blue, I just have not mustered up the courage to do it yet. On silver it will be perfect.

^yah man. I've been lookin' at skittle wheels for a long time n' i've finally decided that mag blue would probably look best on my SS. Most other colored wheels either wash out the rest of the car or just look 'off' imo

i vote for Mazdaspeed Side skirt, OEM front + Carbon Front lip :P
this is what i'm having now,

Mazdaspeed bumper
if u crack the bumper, its gonna cost a lot to fix it , repaint it

OEM +painted Burn Out lip
if u crack it, or rock chips all over, need to fix and repaint it, cost quite a bit too

OEM + CF lip
if ubrakes the CF lip, u just replace it, no need to paint either

but go with what u like yrself

example

I've always liked the burnout lip and have highly considered it for my own car. That's my vote!

When your car had the Burnout Lip... I was kinda Jelly.

Now that your car has the MS Replica... I'm not so Jelly.

Personaly I like to be a little different. with that said I would compare my cars to the others in the area and see which of the two kits are more rare. I like both very much but if the fitment is not on I think it would bug me. My favorite Burn out is Photomonkey. Also as for the MS replica, that is about non stock stock looking it there is, whcih is also good. The burn out looks better with your sides.

I went with burnout lip, but don't change your wheel color. Wheels look good how they are Tillz. If you're gonna paint anything, paint the car phantom blue, then it will really be cool.
