Resurrecting my FD: Deciding on Exterior Add-ons

As I move to resurrect my 92/93 FD, I think I have decided on what I want the exterior to look like when I am done.

After looking at hundreds of other FDs with a multitude of body kits, I think I want to just keep it simple but spice up the stock looks a bit.

With that in mind, I will be using a R1 front lip, which I already have, and want some recommendations and help in picking up these two items listed and seen below.

Finally, I want to add some sort of simple(and inexpensive?) rear skirts or diffuser which simply and naturally carry the aero side skirt look(seen below) and height from the ground, around to the back of the car from the rear wheels(hope that makes sense).

First, here is the lip I am using(thanks to anyone whose car pic I have used below!):


Here are the feed type side skirts I like(don't know if I want CF or RFP?):


Here are some examples of the wing lip that I am considering:




Finally, here are some simple "mud flap" type behind the rear wheel skirts(on Goodfella's car) that I am considering to carry the side "ground to car" height and looks to the rear.


What do you all think about these add ons and about the looks of the finished FD?
What recommendations can you make as to where to find and buy these items as cheaply as possible while maintaining good quality?

Thanks again for all your help and advice!

The mud flaps are stock. Im not sure you can use the side skirts with the flaps though. As for $$$ Shine would be your best bet.

Found the rear diffuser:


Also apparently available from Shine. Guess it might be time to contact Shine and talk price and availability? ;-)

I have that rear diffuser and the replica Feed side skirts from Shine. I think they look enhance the look of the car w/o making it look ricey or too flamboyant.
