Default Kit/wheel advice

What kit do you think looks better on the new body style? Roush, Saleen? You could even chime in with other kits such as Cervini's but I'm mainly interested in the previous two. Also I found two sets of wheels on the Roush site that I've been looking into as 18"s, but they have 20"s listed. Any advice/discussion would be great! (I drive a vista blue 06)

20" version of 18" wheels I already own:

20" Shelby replica wheels:

Roush Kit (Only looking at appearance, not the performance mods):

I don't love the small scoop, but I figure I can part things out I know for a fact you can buy the saleen parts seperately:

Saleen kit:

http://www.saleen.com/s281_coupe.htm
http://www.saleen.com/s281_e.htm

Cervini's: (Even if you've been there check again, they have new stuff)
https://www.cervinis.com/search.aspx...amp;body=Coupe
https://www.cervinis.com/product.asp...p;id=1208#7073

It's a tough choice, but I think it'd be cool to go with a well-known racing company refit, but then again cervini's makes great stuff. I'm thinking it'd be difficult to choose, but mixing and matching would make for themost original and custom job.Any opinions?

Personally, I like the Cervini's B9 kit (the one that looks like the old-school Boss with the Shaker hood). I'm not a big fan of any wheels much larger that 18", though. I think the wheels you have are a good choice, no need to get the larger.

Shelby replica 401646 - much nicer IMO

The Roush kit looks better IMO

Personally, I like the bumper of the Saleen kit. Not a big fan of the grille and the back is awful. The Roush kit looks too "added on." Too many lights and holes in the front.

However, I do like the wheels. Go with 18's.

Just my opinion.

Thanks!

Edit: What about the street scene kits? I like the Cervini front bumper/grills, but I'm not sure about what hood yet.

Well for the wheels I would say the Shelby replics, but then I am bias I want them but I would powder coat the centers black

on the kit side all are great quality, but I am the kinda against putting the Saleen kit on a car that is not a Saleen, same for the Roush, if I wanted my car to look like that I would have bought a Saleen or a Roush. Also I am a bad person to ask since I have the full Cervini's C Series kit. I love the quality, but I also like their B9 and B2 hoods and the new type 3 wing.

The only cervini hoods I really liked were the ram air hoods, and I already have the CAI, so it would be kind of pointless. I plan on getting stripes, so I wanted something that would look good, and line up well.
