I've gotten my car looking good and added enough to be fairly satisfied with how it sits. So being the OCD planner that I am, I have started to think of where to take it from here. I plan on keeping the car for many years to come so I plan on doing things over time.

Up next I'm gonna work on the interior. I've sourced the CR black/yellow fabric and am in the process of figuring out what I want to do with my seats. I'm ordering a black alcantara w/ yellow stitch console cover tomorrow as well. After that I'll eventually do the door panels and get CR steering wheel.

My dilemma of sorts came to what to do with the outside. Right now I have the J's half bumper and an OEM lip spoiler in the rear. It looks clean but the J's front demands some more aggressive pieces to compliment it. I originally planned on going all J's with a rear diffusor, type-v Hood, and wide fendersbut have been debating on if thats where I really want to go with it. I love the clean lines of the stock s200 and have been thinking of replacing the J's front with an Amuse r1 bumper and leaving the rest of the exterior as-is.

Something to this effect, but in Spa.


I really love the clean yet aggressive look and how it goes very well with the rest of the lines of the car.

I drive my car everyday and I'm not sure how I'd like the agressive/race look over time.

Here's my car as she stands and what I'd add if going the J's path.




Hood:


Diffusor:


Fenders:




I guess I'm asking what you guys think and why. I'm not asking because I need approval, it's just I'm not sure which way to go and would like some others input.

Oh if this is the wrong forum, I apologize, you can move it if need be. And if AJ-Racing would like me to take the pics down I will.

Amuse R1 bumper FTW

In my case if I'm keeping my car for a long time, I would want my car to have a clean simple look instead of all the crazy widebody, bodykits and big spoilers. But that's just me though.

I'd vote for keep it as it sits... your car is one the best looking cars on here, BECAUSE it's so damn clean...

so if you REALLY want to change: Amuse front.

keep it clean!

I'm not a big fan of street cars that try to look like race cars. A street car should look sporty, but things like diffusers, canards, etc. look out of place.

I really like your plans for the CR interior bits and yellow stitched trim pieces. Your car would definitely be a stunning street machine with the addition of the R1 front... the diffuser, hood, wide fenders will make the car appear to be something it is not and that is tacky IMO. Others will surely disagree.

Like someone else said..it's pretty much clean vs. aggressive.

You can never go wrong with an Amuse front imo. It will be your cheapest route too.

The hood, front and rear fenders, and diffusor would cost ~$3500 + paint and labor. Also, I'm pretty sure you would want to get a new set of wheels that will compliment the extra room by going widebody....decisions...decisions...
