Feed or Cwest Front Bumper?

Hey guys,
I was just wondering which one would you pick if you could take any of the two. I think both of them look really good, but I can't choose which one to get. help me out =) I like Cwest because it has the biggest opening for my 3 row FMIC, but the con is that everyone and their mama has it. I like the Feed one because its more rare to see, and it has a unique agressive look to it. The con is that I'm afraid it might look ricey. What do you guys think? (btw if i do get the feed one, I would probably get the feed cf side skirts)

I used to like c-west too..then i noticed that a lot of fd owners had this kit..still nice and all...but i started looking at other kits and they became more appealing such as the odula and just a stock 99 spec front looks pretty decent kinda resembles the feed....also you need to specify the feed bumper..it could be the type 1 or 2

Border Type IV - Almost as rare as the FEED, and super clean looking. One of my favorites.




The ings+1 front end is nice too, and they make it in a "Hybrid Aero", Which is a type of urethane blend, mkes the part flexible




A choice between the FEED N1 and the C-West though, I think I'd go with the FEED

There is a pic of the flexibility they advertise.

I have brought over a few of these type of kits ( not for the fd) and have to admit the hybrid aero is cool stuff.

C-West is now offering some of their products, including the the FD N1 bumper, in what they call PFRP, which I assume is the same material/process.

BicuspiD, do you know the website address for the ings products? I quite like the stuff, but cant find it anywhere. Plus I would love something that other UK cars dont have.
