i agree it could look out of place.....that is your call.

i have a mutt running a modded out ford engine that lites the tires up....so a little meaner look is okay to me...it is also lowered 45mm and on 17 inch monoblocks...

what i did was carved out of pink house foam a body kit...i designed it to look the way it could have looked if done clean from the factory....i looked to audi and vw for clean aesthetic inspiration....i made no loud angles, or lips, no big overhangs or anything...it is very clean and simple (also easier to carve and then fiberglass...) once i had the look i turned the faom into fiberglass one off cast wraps and then mounted it to the car...the front end it a urathane part comming for a 1998 dodge dakota, i used it so if struck it would rebound and not shatter like glass...it looks good because it is so out of context that it is hard to spot - not the most ideal method but i was a full time college student when i did this four years ago or so - would i do it different - i still want o carve my own...

heck i want to redesign the kit "online" with everyones input, make molds and copy them for the "modern w123 owner" - but thats a pipe dream

good luck - keep it simple and do it (itll look better and be easier on you!)
