I thought about it, but honestly the aftermarket parts can be a pain to install, lot more work for me, and not to even mention the quality of those parts, so going oem for now, i am trying to get some kind of lip for my front bumper, maybe all the way around, anyone has any suggestions?

If you plan to paint the entire car, I would go with Lexus Star Fire pearl white.

+1 on that color

i dont understand why you say aftermarket parts will be more work? i mean you already are basically rebuilding your car lol it cant be that much more work. specially if you get 100% fitment parts from vendors like klumyzee

he just means fitment won't be 100% and will need to be messed with in order to fit correctly and doesnt want to do that?
