Just depends on what style you like. Some people prefer colormatched lips/front bumpers, others like the carbon look. I personally like CF for my car, but some of my friends prefer everything one color.

The VIS lip goes for about 250-300, I've seen the same knock off's listed for that price on jdmhondaparts.com as well. Clearance can be a problem if you're not careful. My 15's are right about where yours are, just a tad below the fenders. I've scraped the very bottom of it a few times on big speed bumps, but overall, no regrets, still holding up very well. The VIS is pretty thick. I know it's a knock off, but for half the price, I don't think I'd buy the real Spoon lip, knowing that 500 bucks is just a few inches off the ground

I honestly don't know if it's possible, but I would put the cwest front on, and then rock the cf lip on it also. That's what I am thinking of doing.

The Cwest bumper flares out on the bottom, you'd have to do some custom work to make it fit, and clearance would be almost non existent
