I need outsiders opinions!
I love my ST205 to death and am now starting to dump some money into some parts cleaning it up and making it my own. The only thing confusing the hell out of me is my exterior styling! I am stuck whether to keep the stock rally look as it sits right now:  (Currently has black painted to match OEM riser blocks as well) Or do I add on the SSIII sideskirts:  And the European lip:  I need your opinions here! Any input is appreciated

^That's what I`m thinking.
Car is already sitting on TEIN coilovers so lowering it more wouldn`t be a problem. =] -------------------- current project: looking :(

You have a gt4. If i was in your shoes i would keep it stock but just get jdm taillights if you havnt and just projectors. And just spend all out on performance!

Just unsure if I should do anything else exterior wise  the ST205's that have lip kits on them look very clean.

Keep the wheels, I like them. Personally, I say either no kit or all kit. I like the sideskirt-less look a lot right now, it just suits the car well because the wheels are fairly flush. But, if you do decide to go for the skirts, go for the Euro lip and maybe SS-III splitters in the rear. Please stay OEM though.

You can buy the wheels if you'd like em

Since you already have clear side repeaters, may I suggest that clear front indicators are an obvious upgrade? Here is the first ST205 in Russia with my clears......
 and maybe projectors too?....  OEM quality/style clear lenses available from www.protocast.co.uk -------------------- Has your car ever been on T.V? Mine was used in the opening sequences here - note the clear turns and front LED's

that's not oem, it's the erebuni-style 404a rear lip just molded on to the body.
