Welcome Back - still enjoying Cyprus I see!
I'd keep it de-spoilered, but i'm biased. I think smoothing the kit would definitely improve the look, but repairing any damage would be a pain. Is the colour match different of the plastic panels? I ask because that seems to be a common thing with all cars between metal and plastic body panels. |

I've got the Veilside kit on my aerotop. The bodyshop smoothed the skirts and rear spats in, and to be honest, I think it looks a lot better. Only problem will be if you need to change the wings or bumper!
I'm looking at venting my front wings, but I'm going to have to break the skirts of to do so. I do like the rear diffuser, tidy's up the rear end a treat. |

Smoothing out the joins can look superb but doesnt usually last long before you get cracks, very dependant on how well the kit fits and also the state of the rds you have to drive on.
Stiffer suspension doesnt help either. I'd go with wingless if you dont want o/e or TRD etc little lips dont look right imo

Different that's for sure, fair bit of work has gone into that I sure.
Personally I wouldn't get the lines smoothed in, as Dunk said it will almost certainly crack. Wingless for me, not keen on big aftermarket stuff.
