RE N1 kit or 99 spec?

Having problems deciding on what I would like to do to my project fd when I get it. The car will definately be painted IBM, and I'll probably go with 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 Enkei RPM2 Wheels (hyperblack). For the body I can't decide on this:

Re Amemiya N1 full kit
Scoot Hood
99 spec spoiler or RB Type II

http://www.evo-r.net/scoot

OR

Pettit 99 Spec front (no license plate)
Mazdaspeed CF 99 spec lip
Apexi Sideskirts
99 spoiler or RB type II
OEM Guards

Basically will look like this but in IBM and with RPM2s

What do you guys think? This is definately a long ways away (gotta get the chassis first) but I'm bored and just wanted to see what everyone else thinks. Either way I know it'll be a good looking FD. Thanks

I like the stock look much better, I say 99 spec with CF lip. The Apexi skirts are my fav, but I was wondering how the Feed CF skirts would look with the CF lip... might look cool.

if you want something eye-catching (well, more so than already) get the RE

if you want more of a stock look, get the 99 spec

that is exactly what I'm debating. Both kits would accent the body lines really well, and kits like C-West are more common than both options.

I'd say the FEED front - like a 99 spec on steroids.

I like the N1 over the 99-spec, but that Scoot hood makes me gag. WAY too overdone.

EDIT: Oh, and excellent choice on paint color. IBM

I'd say since your are debating between the two get the 99. It's a real bumper and it will handle daily driving stresses. Basically it won't crack.

Get in on the Group buy on the Pettit replica '
99 front end (that has the liscense plate brick removed)... only $465 if we get 10 people, and since you use the '99 flexible lip spoiler, it'll be better protected than any of the fiberglass aftermarket noses...

The thread is in the Group Buy section...
