I think you should get the exec kit. It will stay with the clean vip flavor you have. A body kit should look natural while enhancing the look of the car, you know when you look at it you should think this should have been an option from oem. Imho the sports line kit makes the car look like an older vw pasat, no offense. Ithink your car looks great now, but would look smokin with the exec kit. What I'm trying to say is classy looks better than overstated styling(imho that is).

Judgment is key
Can Darden make the car with the exec kit black? Then you could see what it looks like in a black car. I like the front of the SPortline and the back of the Exec. I know, I am a bit twisted...
To be honest, I am not that big on any body kits except some of the AB Pfug kits look good to me because they look Lexus-made. IMHO the italian body lines on this car are great as is and should only be accentuated, not overlaid. A lower flat front spoiler and the wings/lips you have, plus the lowering with coilovers are perfect upgrades to my eyes. The big spoiler/side skirts, bumpers, wings etc. tend to blur the designed Gen 1 lines and cause all the makes and models to blend together to me. This car has no straight lines and is not meant to. A make/model should be distinctive to the eye. You should be able to tell what make/model a car is from 200 yards. In classic muscle car terms, this means you can tell a Mustang from a Camaro from a Charger from a GTO immedaitely. For me, if someone says, "nice car, ...what is it?" you are lost.
That being said, you have done nothing but great mods to your car and your judgement on the VIP theme for your car had been perfect so far. I cannot wait to see you car "live" again.
Take it easy.

I agree with you, Bryan, the Executive does look very stock. But I guess it all depends what "look" you are going for. I know for you, you want the VIP look, thus I would choose the Sportsline.
But I have to agree with BRAKATK, I think if you could find a front add-on spoiler (like they have for the 2nd gen), that would make your car look that much sweeter. Your car is so low already, I don't know how much clearance you would have with a bodykit.

Notice the Rearview Mirror?
This maybe off topic here, but did you notice the size of the rearview mirror on the cars in the photos? Seems like a much larger mirror than my stock one. Does anyone know if there is an alternate mirror? I have always thought the stock one was a bit small and did not give a wide enough view. Aftermarket add-on mirrors trend to look pretty cheezy, IMHO. Thanks!
