I dislike that body kit with a passion, but the only color i would somewhat enjoy that body kit in would be a yellow car with black rims with a polished lip, or white paint and same wheel design.

That kit in black on black with alot of subtlty with the rest of the car could look pretty hot. Its kind of an enigma of a kit. Do it right and and looks damn good. Do it wrong and you will want to stuff a rag into your own gas cap and blow up your own car. Only problem is coming up with the right mix of car to kit.
Using the car in the pic above as a guide I would say that black as a color works pretty good. I would ditch the polished rims though and go with all around black. Also the Z3 fenders have gots ta go as they are over done and are just too busy on the car. The best aprouch to any kind of already over the top (mahaps a little ricy) body kit is to make the rest of the car more subtle and subdued. Over the top body kit along with an over the top overall car (big spoiler, blinged out rims etc etc) will just end up bad and wrong on so many different levels.
Now dont go thinking Im just jumping the gun and saying you are going to fuck it up and have one giant rice mobile. All I am saying is take your time. If possible use the car in the pics and if you or someone you know is good with photoshop or another program like it try different colors as well as some body stylings. It may seem like alot of work but in the end it will produce a sweet product or at least something you will love for years.

Metallic orange or gloss orange with deep blue accents would look nice too. Did you purchase the hood with the kit or just the skirts and bumpers? Lighter colors will show off the lines more while dark colors like black will look nice at night with the street lights casting a lot of reflections. I don't think I would go with another dark color other than black on black though if that's the way you go.
Just remember black takes a lot more washing than any other color. Even parked in your garage the dust it will pick up will stand out like a nightmare.

ok the body kit is only the bumpers and sideskirts... no fenders or hood. I am planning on getting the hoos because i think thats one of the only desent looking hoods for the cavy. i know about the black, rents have black cars. not the way for me plus its much harder to paint to many imperfections can be seen. i was thinking about a metallic orange or metallic navy blue or gloss of each. and ya those rims the more i look at them the more i dilike... what about these ones ... http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=10470 these ones stick out more to me all black and glossy! Psycho... the wing is the one thats in the pictures also... and all around black do you mean like try to get almost everything else around the body black? Well if you do mean that i have black corner lenses, black proj. headlights, and black taillights, and now rims. Will this work out good?

Those rims would work great with the kit IMO. As for car color if you wont go black then I would say a darker blue and yeah of the metalic animal would be great as well. The subtle lip type spoiler will also be sweet.
What I mean by the over all out look of the car/body with the kit that if you ask me certain colors need certain items. Take for instance silver. Cleared corners, tail lights and headlights look good with silver. Red cars look good with blacked out everything and orange looks good with the jdm/amber look. Black cars however are easy they look good with blacked cleared and jdm parts as long as it fits the rest of the car.

The corners and headlamp units are ok but I would never steer anyone toward altezza anything. I would just look around for the black tails.
