Which kit?

Alright guys, i turn to you once again...
I've recently decided i want to get a body kit, or do something with my 88 GXL. However, i'm stuck between 2 final options:

1. I really like the shogun kit, but i don't know if i can afford it... I like the kit below it, but not something i'm into.
(http://www.paautoracing.com/mazrx786.htm)

Or,

2. I also don't want to make the car too flashy, i hate rediculous looking cars that take away from what it is. I was thinking of keeping most of it stock, but get the Mariah 3-Piece Skirt Package, which i think looks pretty good and gives the body an extra hint of awesome (but not too much). But then if i get this, i've got another dilemma... i'd probably have to get a front bumper to match the skirts.

Let me know what you guys think... And if you've got any other suggestions that you think would look good, let me know.

of all the bodykits out for the FC, I would suggest keeping the car stock, or just update it to the s5 exterior, but if I had to choose a kit, it certainly would not be the shogun one. The GP sports kit looks good,

The best kit IMHO is the Border kit. Expensive, but it looks so hot. Heres a shot of it:
