need opinions
ok, i have a black widow body kit. ive kinda grown tired of it (actually ive been tired of it). it doesnt seem to flow very well, its from ground design its not a replica, and the front and rear bumper sit higher than the sideskirts. therefor i have to slam my car in the front to get the front bumper to look even. also rear bumper doesnt look right because i dont have, nor do i want, dual exhaust.
My decision to make it all even out is to either buy a buddy club rear bumper and than buy lips, which im hoping will sit even with the bumpers.
or just buy lips for the sides and rear.
i was also thinking of buying 16's instead of 17's because the 17's make the ride alittle bumpy, but im not sure if 16's will look right with a kit.
any suggestions on how to even it out and what lips would look good would be appreciated. also if anyone has pics of a 5th gen with 16's and 50 tires with a kit and without a kit, would be nice too.

You're right... 17" wheels go really well with bodykits.
A buddy club rear bumper will even out the rear end.
As for the frt. bumper, you have options:
Backyard Special - sits low
CWest - sits low (I don't know if it's low enough to even out your frt. end.)

I don't think that you'd want [205/] 50 series tire on a 16" wheel. The best would be a 45 series tire.
As for the bodykit... There are a few add on lips that are available for the 5th gen coupes.
1. Wings West RS Series
2. Spoon CF (or replica of it)
3. Tsunami T1
4. Si Lip (from autodynamic.com)
I couldn't tell you what sides and rear to get, but here are some places to check what you like...
