Just take off the splitter and canards. I dont know why everyone is freaking out about the bumper, kit looks like a vertex ridge replica. Remove those two things and you're fine. I have a 97 front w/ vertex lip myself and have very little clearance, so dont expect to go much lower with that set up.

i though for some reason you could go lower with 97+ but i see said the blind man wow almost 900.00 dollars for the bumper and the lip and you can get any lower how strong is that lip, to be 400.00+ i understand oem is money but im curious about the lip?

My lip has taken a pretty good beating thus far, few cracks and what not but its holding together pretty well. I bought it second hand so I didnt pay quite as much. If you did bumper alone or with the big win lip you could slam it and have some clearance, but the vertex lip sits underneath the bumper where the big win attaches higher up. I would try removing the extra stuff from the front and seeing how you like it before buying a whole new front.

Take off the splitters and you're good. I don't even mind the canards. They look good on the Vertex car so they CAN look good.
Is this the VIS kit? Is that why the grill looks too high?

I would say lose the splitter and canards for sure. Also I question the quality of that paint. The honestly should of painted the splitter and canard separately. Now even if you take off the canards, the paint under it wouldnt be painted. Also they should of stripped the car a bit more. At least the headlights.
Honestly Im not a fan of the vertex kit, and think the 97 with vertex lip is way nicer, if you just lose the extras and keep it simple, Im pretty sure it would look decent.

your already doing to much with the canards and splitters in the pic and you added more, its always nice to see something different but you kinda went to far IMO. the 97 bumper would be a better idea or remove the extra hardware from the bumper you have
