rexpeed products... Help me decide!

Well i think im going to add some exterior mods. Nothing to major, but something to add something more to the outside. I like the clean look and having a hard time debating on whether or not to go cf or painted white. I was looking at the rexpeed type-1 lip spoiler, carbon fiber spats, and possibly a front lip. Now my question would you do all of these to keep a clean look to the car? My car is completly stock on the outside except for some tein s-techs. So i would like to hear your guys input on what you would do.

Rexpeed type-1 spoiler Carbon fiber or painted? 1x1 or 2x2 weave

Rexpeed Carbon fiber spats Yes or No 1x1 or 2x2 weave must match carbon fiber weave on lip spoiler

Rexpeed carbon fiber front lip.

Pleaes help me decide. Here are a couple of pics i have gathered and its making it a hard decision.

carbon fiber lip spoiler


painted white with spats


Now two pics of my car to kinda help





Thanks for the advice in advance!

I would get the JDM rear bumper first; wingless on a USDM rear looks too bulky to me. A JDM rear bumper and the type 1 carbon would be sexy.

the lip is should be the first exterior mod on an 8. makes such a difference. personally if you did go with the type1 i'd go painted unless you have enough contrasting other items to pull off the added contrast. perfect example, the first pic has jdm tails and looks like maybe tint. also mautofied made a good point about the jdm bumper. that's probably the biggest reason why i havent went wingless yet

W/o having a CF hood. or dark rims or anything to go with the CF lip as was said. I would paint it white. CF spats look fine to me since they are so low on the car and small. Now with a CF front lip, CF spats and CF lip. it may be enouph to bring it all together nicely. hard to tell until it was all on. I think any combination is gonna look good.
