I like the RKsports kit and the Xenon kit. If you like the RKsports kit... I know someone that has one for sale. Although your car is awesome just the way it is

Another option to do if you want to change the exterior look of the car is the rims. You may think its not a big change, but it really is.

I think the Wings West kit looks best on a pewter car. But, for it to look good you will have to shave the front facia to the nose because no matter how you mount it there will be an unexceptable gap from the fog light to fog light. Also, don't buy the WW rear bumper piece, it looks like **** in my opinion. Go for a factory rear ground effect it should match the WW side skirts perfectly.

Thanks. I think you will like it. Just note that the front part fits above the turn signals and goes all the way down. It is kind of like a replacement front, but it fits over what you have already. I know you probably saw that, but I have had to point that out to a few people that have seen my car in person.

Default another vote for xenon

I have xenon too, I love it now but did not like the rear piece. I replaced it with the Wings West W-Typ rear valance, much happier now even though it is a "mixed" kit it still looks like it belongs. Good luck whatever you decide
