EX with Si mods and painted underbody spoiler?

Wanted to know what everybody thought about some mods I had in my head for my TW EX.

(1)a couple Si mods (body color upper grille and Si wing/spoiler)
(2)in addition to (1), painting the plastic front underbody spoiler TW
(3)or maybe for now just the underbody spoiler painting, no Si mods (until later, maybe)

I know, on these pics, they look like subtle changes and it makes it even worse that the background is white, but it would take me a whole lot longer to do something with any other photos. If I can find the time, I will black in the background.

Thanks in advance for any input!

(1)


(2)


(3)


Yeah, I know - the quality on my spoiler job sux - it's Microsoft Paint, can't expect much.

What the snap is a RunDLL?! I'll try one of those that you mentioned. My bad! First time to post pics and I screw somethin up! Gimme a few or 30 min.s

EDIT: Might be a little longer - like maybe sometime this afternoon - filters at work are blocking me from either of those. Thought about posting them on my website that's been "under construction" for 2 years, but blocked from there too. Any suggestions as to why the first attempt didn't work? I uploaded the pics straight from my computer and onto the attachments section. Why would they not just show up as thumbnails?

OK, even lower in quality, but allowing mods to be more distinguishable, here r some more pics:

Um.... Spoiler looks good, but we already knew that, but painting the underbody would be kind of pointless. It will get ruined quickly and Im not sure its a good material to paint.

I suggest that you look at a TW Si and you know what your car will llok like. Oh and dont paint the curb scraper it will look like crap.

Thanks for the input guys - just lookin for some ways to mod my Civi's appearance without spendin alot at the moment (Si trunk lid would be a trade, not a purchase) - guess I'll just wait til I can afford the good stuff later on. - Still might trade for an Si lid/spoiler though.

And, yeah, I knew the spoiler looked good - but the difference in the Si's and EX's wheels give each car a little different appearance, and I wanted to make sure that the Si spoiler and EX wheel combo looked alright. As far as the curb scraper - I've painted one before on a previous vehicle, and it didn't look too bad - but I'll still take your suggestions, cuz that was on a 91 GMC Sonoma, and this is on a 07 Honda Civic - little bit different aesthetics.

I think sometimes I know some of my ideas are rediculous; I just need someone else to confirm it to me and say, "No dude, that'll look like crap!"
