mazspeed GTC vs. C-WEST vs 99' JDM

So, I'm driving to work and this tire tread pops up from underneathe the car in front of me and lands right in front of my Mazdaspeed GTC bumper. Needless to say, the Driver's side front corner was ripped off... oil cooler knocked off it's bracket... and turn signal combo lamp gone.

SOOOOOO... lookin' for a replacement. Ground clearance is now a factor. Scraped almost ever goddamn driveway with GTC... with uncut Eibachs. Wondered if the C-WEST or 99 JDM gave any more clearance. Keep in mind I still have the GTC side skirts... wondering how they would look with other front ends.... Your opinion is greatly appreciated!

Since you got the GTC skirts, it's best to retain the GTC look. Don't think neither the 99 JDM nor C-West will match.
