Default I want to keep it clean...

Ok so after years of my spa ap1 being pretty much stock i am starting to build her up to my personal taste. I have her sitting on Tein Flex coilovers. Volk RE30s 17x9+63 in bronze, all four corners (i know this is overkill for the street but someone was selling them for a good price. I could not pass it up.) with 245/40/17 tires. the car will have a mild drop (1-1.5''). As for the OEM hardtop the exterior is bone stock...My problem is i can not decide on a front bumper/lip for my car. I want the car to look clean (as clean as yellow and bronze can get) but also look like it means business without being too agressive (j's front end). The Amuse R1 and ASM front ends are beautiful...but i think they will be too classy for my setup...
As it stands i'm leaning towards the Amuse lip...

*sigh*

Please give some imput

Chris

I'm a big fan of the OEM lip on the AP1's. Its not too much, but also ties the whole car together nicely. While your at it go for the OEM lip spoiler on the back. Makes the car look very nice

overkill? i don't think it's better to have all 4 the same in any regard. i think that changes the handling characteristic of the car a bit, and not in a good way...but i'm no expert so maybe someone else can chime in.

sorry can't help w/the front bumper thing, i'm still goin w/my stock ap1 front. OEM lip looks pretty good though!

IMO The ap2 bumper is much more aggresive but clean looking. I would go ahead and just put the AP2 front on there and call it a day. I plan on doing that with my ap1 too. Anything else is just 'too much'. However I dont like the look of the OEM AP2 lip.

I agree with the lip. Mind me asking why you have 245 profile tires on a 9inch wide rim? You should have 255 or 265's on those.
