Default Wing or Lip spoiler?

Hi there. Im planning on buying a yellow '08 or '09 this year. I really like both spoilers but am having trouble deciding which to get. What are your thoughts on each?

I plan on getting the side strakes as well. I dont think ill be getting the front lip as I think the front bumper looks better without it IMO. Finally, ill probably get the factory alarm system. Hope to get my S2000 by this summer.

get both lips. if i had to choose, i would get the front lip and not the rear.
actually get both lips and ditch the side strakes.

Also i wouldn't pay for the factory alarm upgrade, better of getting your own system put in aftermarket.

I don't know why anyone would even buy those side strakes. These just look like pieces of crap that you add to your car out of boredom to destroy the flow. Same with side skirts, none of them looks decent.

Front lip is a must I think, and it definitely looks real great. For wing, get the Seibon Mugen Replica one. Not too crazy looking.
