You should always buy what you like. I do have a recommendation for you though. Make sure you buy quality products. I purchased a Version Select and it did not fit and I was not able to exchange it. I then bought a VIS and it did not fit and was the wrong bumper and showed up cracked and damaged. I next bought a Vertex and the fitment is like a glove and the shop only has to likghtly sand and paint. Very little work to be done to put it on. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

i currently have a knock off version of the cwest kit on my car, yes i saved money on the initial purchase but i ended up probably paying a little more after labor on them getting it to fit right. It actually does look and fit well but i probably wouldve saved a couple hundred in total cost had i gotten authentic, big thing is, do your research, there are a ton of kits out there and at some point or another someone has taken pics of it on their car, look at the sites, look at the images, pick one out, wait 3-4 months and go through the process again to make sure its what you want. I'm already a little sick of my cwest kit and ive only had it a little over a year...

Buy what you like, not OTHERS. As long as you buy real stuff/good quality parts then your car will eventually stands out. Good luck with your car man!
