Siebon in the states seem to get a decent reputation. Looks good, but needs performance to match it otherwise is OTT

thumbs up from me, it's worth painting at least part of it or it looks a bit out of place though

If you're going to paint it, i'd say go for a fibreglass one, save some cash whilst still saving some weight. If it's going to be unpainted, the rest of the car can't be bog standard looking or it'll look out of place.

In my opinion, of course.

I was going to leave it unpainted and there are a few other things done to the car like diffrent wheels and planning on putting the aero grill on aswell.

Will look awesome. White might work? Just with your roof and wheels. Get the white bonnet stripes again.

I'll be honest I am not sure what it will look like. What I would say is it is your car if you like it then go for it. It will certainly be unique.

Get it done!
