Need some help/opinions on my sti

Just trying to think of what I want to do to my SWP sti... let me know what you guys think.

Either:

Paint the hood, roof and get a wingless trunk and paint it the obsidian black pearl along with my front lip and rear aprons and get gold wheels...

A carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber trunk and flat black front lip and rear apron and black wheels...

Or

Keep it all SWP but get a wingless trunk, flat black front lip, rear aprons and either black or gold wheels...

For the wheels in thinking of either Advan's RS wheels, 5 Zigen's Pro Racer GN+ or some Rota Boosts / Torques...

Can I get some opinions on what might look better?

Thanks...

Just say No to carbon fiber.

Get an RS trunk, paint it, and save your winged trunk...because you're gonna miss it.

Yea I saw it once on a OBP sti and it looked clean but I don't think it would on the SWP. So then should I stay SWp all the way around or paint it OBP?

Dont paint it. Wingless would look nice. NO carbon fiber. Gold wheels a +. If its a nice bonus id do coilovers over springs. Other suspension would be nice and worthwhile especially if your into solo II.

Quality coilovers are gonna cost 4X the price of Tanabe GF210 springs that will perform 80-90% as well as coilovers.

I used to have Tein Flex coilovers & "downgraded" to springs, but then again, I'm old.

A good set of swaybars...front & rear...would be my first suggestion.
