Default Widebody or Custom?

So I've decided that I want to make some changes to the exterior of my car.

I'm between custom widening/radiusing my front approx 50-55mm and my rear 40-50mm all work will be done with metal.It'll be more durable against any type of tire to fender contact once the car is lowered.

Vs

Going with apr wide body kit witch I believe is +45mm wider in the front and +50mm in the rear.



They both when all said and done will roughly cost the same.
Going widebody has two downfalls to to me, im not the biggest fan of the front bumper but at the same time its not ugly to me and the rear bumper has dual exit witch I dont really like. Im sure I could have it molded shut.
Having the custom work done however has it's downfalls as well. Spending that much money the car wont look look that much diffrent.

In my head there's alot of pro's and con's for both but I cant really weigh out witch one I really want to do.

So vote for what you think I should do and give a reason why.


Here's the most recent pic of the car.
only thing thats changed is it now has ap2 lights and the work's are sold.

**** I already have new wheels to accommodate either option ****

I vote for the APR widebody just because it looks the best imo. Can't go wrong either way though if done right.
