Which Next Mod!? Wheels or M Sport Skirts+paint work?
I can only afford to pick one of these 2 mods for now, one needs to at least wait until spring.
Here's my car now: On one hand I think a set of staggered 19's (~19x9F 19x10R Rotiform RSE maybe?) would really transform it, but it's winter here in the DMV, I should probably wait until spring for wheels, right? On the other hand... The M Sport side skirts + paint would be less than wheels for sure, but while I go in to get the skirts sprayed I'll also be getting the body shop to paint blend a couple mismatched panels on my car (see pass. door, fender and new bumper are all more yellowy below. Overcast days like picture show the mismatch more.). So what should I do? Get some staggered 19's to go with my subtle drop, or add the M Sport side skirts and tidy up some of the existing paint work? |

I would go with paint correction. Having it off like that would bother my OCD

It looks like your bumper is Alpine White and your car is Mineral White. I'd have the original body shop fix that for free. They fked up.
THEN I would get wheels so long as you get the proper rubber. What kind of tires are you getting?

Yeah the wheels are fairly unique and look OK, IMO. In addition to M Sport rockers, I'd also do a chrome delete on your window trim while you're at it.

I'm sure you know, but there's a few variations of Alpine White and it looks like they went with the yellower shade on the passenger door/fender (see photo above), which wasn't as noticeable until I swapped in a fresh Alpine White 300 front bumper. I honestly blame myself because I should have noticed it before buying the car, it just didn't stick out as much at the time. Even without the new bumper (which is all I had painted btw) you can see a clear difference between the white in the front and rear passenger side doors (above). Here's a pic of driver's side for reference, notice the paint matches up nicely. Quote:
