I'm getting close to finishing this car and cannot decide which route to go with looks. Im not a fan of big gaudy kits but if you've ever seen one of these cars with decent size tires you'd see why I feel I need something on it. These were factory options from japan (top) and the US (bottom). I'll probably be going with daytone blue for paint. Its the blue found on 350z's.

Which of these do you like better? And why if you feel like posting it.

JDM no question. The blue car has too much busy crap and scoops and looks tacked on.
