Default WW kit or OEM optional kit for DC2?

This has been bugging me for a while but I'm having trouble deciding whether to get the rest of the Wings West Type-W kit or get the complete OEM optional kit on my GSR. Price is somewhat of a concern to me. I can get the rest of the WW kit for under $300 used but the optional kit will probably run me anywhere from $450 - $700 used.

I currently have a Wings West Type-W front lip, painted stock sideskirts, and ITR rear wing. Here are pics of my car..




This is what the Wings West Type-W kit looks like (not my car, it's slowride's teg)..




This is what the OEM optional kit looks like (also not my car, it's Gravity's ITR)..

Because it would be cheaper I would finish the WW kit. OEM is very nice also

For some reason, I think I like what you have best. Im not a big fan of either of the rear bumpers or sideskirts. Id say save the money

complete OEM optional kit IMO
I had the full 5 piece kit on my Teg. and got so many complements.
The WW is to bulky

You wanna achieve this look?




Here's what My teg. looked like back in September before I sold it

Wings west rear looks like ***. And OEM kits go for like $5000 from the owners on this site. I vote stick with what you have, or just get the oem front lip. Looks great to me.
