Help me pick a front lip
Ok, so I need to get something done on the front of my car. It's been bugging me for a long time, but I can't decide on which direction I like. For an AP1 it's easy, but mine's an AP2. I'm not at all against "JDM bling", but JDM exclusivity isn't a priority for me. I'll go over my list real quick
OEM AP2:
Pros - Perfect fit, cheap, prepainted
Cons - Kind of cookie cutter... It's just really common
OEM CR:
Pros - Perfect fit, fairly cheap, prepainted
Cons - Ugly as sin
Mugen:
Pros - Perfect fit, subtle yet aggressive from some angles
Cons - Not painted, appears "tacked on" from some angles, Appears to hang very low, I question how good it would look with my wheels
APR:
Pros - Price is right, I like the "diffuser" style, CF
Cons - Don't know fit, Not sure I like the way it fits to the side of the bumper
Chargespeed:
Pros - Very subtle without the canards, CF
Cons - Not terribly cheap, I don't know fitment
Amuse:
Pros - BEAUTIFUL, should be near OEM fit, Aggressive without being gawdy
Cons - Pricey, everyone seems to be out of stock, Leaves me with a useless OEM front
ASM:
Pros - Looks good, perfect fit, aggressive
Cons - Same as Amuse, and I think I like the Amuse better
I'm more interested in what will "flow" the best with the current look I have (huge non-JDM wheels) on the color I have. Certain bumpers and lips look better on certain colors and worse on others. Berlina tends to hide some aggressiveness that colors like yellow would showcase.
Any ideas???? please throw some pictures up to support your idea.

Other exterior mods will come. Sides will just be diffuser style, very subtle. Rear... nothing planned with the rear bumper. I will run some sort of rear spoiler, I just don't know which one yet. That'll be my next decision.
