Default What would you do? (GFX kit / Sway bar?)

GFX rear + GFX side skirts or GFX rear + f-sport front sway bar?
FYI - Car is 2010' obsidian with no front lip gfx kit(Not really feeling the gfx front lip) and is dropped on f-sport. Also my car already have the rear f-sport sway bar.

I'd say GFX rear + Sway bar. The side GFX isn't that noticeable - It just flairs out a bit more than the OEM one - and you really have to look to see the difference.

The side does look a bit better if you get both front and rear GFX.

I recently sold my the new GFM GFX rear (included the tips) to a CL member a few days ago and she contacted me later that same day and said said wanted to get the GFX side skirt as well since she said it would suit the car better since she already has the front and the newly installed rear.

Thanks for everybody inputs! I guess I'm gonna go with the sway and the rear gfx. I can't justify spending $285 for the side alone. When every other color are going for $120 or less. obsidian ftl! I'm just worry about just putting the rear alone will look funny.
