Default Help me decide which lip. (poll inside)

Currently I have the VIS Carbon Fiber lip on and I like it at first but it's a PITA to drive with it on and it's starting to lose its apeal to me. I do like to show the car and the carbon does get some points but I think that it also takes away from the cleanliness of the car. So, I'm thinking about putting the stock ITR lip back on and I just thought that I would get some opinions to help me make my decision. Also I have a carbon fiber full optional kit I was thinking about putting on if I keep the lip, if not i'm gona sell it and put the money into the car somewhere else. The only problem with the kit is the sides have minor flaws in the carbon. The carbon hood and mirrors are staying no matter what I do. Here's some pics.

(by the way if anyone is interested in the carbon fiber sides and rears I might be persueded to sell them, so if you really want them shoot me an offer.)

ITR lip:







VIS Carbon Lip:





Carbon Optional Kit:





I think i'm leaning to goin back to the OEM front lip.

The wheels are one of my favorite pieces on the car. They're Rays G-Games, the only thing I would swap them for would be some gram lights with the titan lip.

Personally, I don't think it would look bad if you have all the cf pieces on w/ hood. But nothing beats OEM.

I agree with the wheels. They don't look right on your car.

The wheels are the size they are because of the big brake kit.

Ya, it already does. It takes away from the fun of driving the car thats one of the main reasons I don't want to keep it.

I thing it would be to low on the front and not enough on the sides if I left the VIS lip on and too the oem kit off.
