Default Rideskinz Fujin VIP front lip with Shine rear and sides or complete Shine kit?

So, i have a little dilemma, I have a Fujin front lip at that I just picked up sitting at home and was going to get it molded onto a 97+ bumper and also do the Shine A-Spec sides and rear....but now I am considering if I should just sell that Fujin lip and go with the full shine kit....

So, which way should I go?

The Fujin lip molded onto a 97+ bumper with the Shine sides and rear or just go with the complete shine kit??

Thanks

This is how my car currently looks like

Post piks of both noses. The Shine is easy to find but Fujin/97+ may be harder for people to visualize and help out with an opinion.

PS: The car also looks beautiful as is. Just an OEM lip is another good option.

Here are pics of both....Fujin lip on the White SC and the Shine kit on Red SC....the nice thing about the Fujin lip is that it is made out of Polyurethane which is a lot more durable....I loved my old Rod Millen Motorsports Poly kit for my old IS300 , never had issues except for cracking my carbon splitter...I had a WALD kit on my BMW 7 series which was made out of fiberglass and had to be extra careful not to hit anything.

I think I remember his rear being something else, like Vertex perhaps. Definitely Shine sides though..

Thanks for the info guys....I really like both and I kind of leaning towards keeping my Fujin lip and molding it on....I have had bad luck with fiberglass products...my old WALD International kit on my BMW 7 series cracked after a little incident and then had to be replaced by a new one which cost me more $$$$...

i have the WALD kit on my soarer and can vouch for how careful you have to be, with this i would recommend the Fujin lip as it is polyurethane. But, honestly, its not really VIP style in my opinion.

No I have Shine sides and rear bumper. Vertex hangs much lower than Shine.
