Like the title states I can either get rims and coilovers or rims and paint job.. Tell me what you guys think and of you choose paint what colour you think

Thankss

Paint quality is in my build thread it's a little faded, not 100%

Looks good here but in person not too great, was thinking of going a diff colour as well

Depends if the paints in poor condition or can be polished up. If paints complete crap, go for rims + paintjob

BTW love misa campos bran spanking double D's, y not use your tax return getting her a plain ticket haha

Yup post a pic of the car for a more educated opinion

If it's a little faded can't you just cut&polish it up?

It depends on how you like your car. Personally I'd go paint and rims rather than coilovers, but I sure know people who would rather have the coilover handling instead of the aesthetics...

Feel free to give advice on choice of colour/rims, I was thinking axis of banzai or sportmax 501s but open to suggestions

To me the paint looks good as it is, just polish and wax it. Don't think it'll need a cut and polish. Go for rims/coilovers, paint seems good, it be a waste spending money on it, till u get a big ding or alot of chips, or paint crackle.

I've cut and polished it before, it helped but still not the finish I was hoping for, plus fresh paint is so hotttt

What suspension is on it now? Suspension mod would come down to how you use the car like just a daily or track/touge runs etc

Looks wise is very subjective.Something about that lip looks off..maybe colourcode the skirts to match or make the lip black,not mixed as it is now which makes the lip stand out like a sore thumb
