It depends on what your plan is for the rest of the car. I think the JP is lower than the TTE lip. The TTE does not add much in terms of clearance issues so it can be on the car by itself without being problematic flowing front to back. You will need at least side skirts if you do to JP. I tend not to like a front that hangs down too much compared to the sides. I know some members do this and if they are OK with it, then that's great. We do what we like to our own cars. 
With that said, I have the TTE and I like it a lot BUT I am starting to really lean over to the full replacement camp as it looks cleaner to me. I don't like, however, the full replacements that look like there is a lip on it.
So if the rest of the car will be made up to complement the front, I would go for JP. Heck, you already have the wing.

i would go with the TTE lip.. in my opinion.. with the money your gonna spend on the JP front end, its a little to "stock" looking for my taste. I think its a nice kit, but i would go more aggressive for the money your spending. You want people to be like "wow that doesn't look like a regular gs". Though when you look at JP's car, the heavy drop, rim and every jp accessorie does make it look phat.
Im done rambleing
To sum up what i said
If i was to spend the money, i would go for a more aggressive lip.. if i didn't want to spend all the money. then i would get the TTE lip

As ffor the pricing, yes JP is pricy but that comes with exclusivity. I also agree that it is on the tame side and is not on the top of my list of kits (although I would not turn down a great deal for it
). I guess it depends on your definition of aggressive. When I hear aggressive, I think low to the ground radical styling.I personally would not build up my car that way but it is a personal choice. If I spend more, I am just hoping for a nice looking kit that will set me out from the rest of the GS and hope for some exclusivity. I would not want to spend 4k on a kit and have a bunch of cars look the same or similar (like with the kits with knock-offs). I like the explosion front but crossed it off because of the knock-off availability. If I love it a lot then I would consider it regardless of knock-offs but I don't love it that much.
If you have the $ and are willing to spend it, I don't see a problem with getting the JP. Although tame, it is different from stock and really keeps that lux feel. Plus you know the chances of the next guy having it is EXTREMELY low.
TLW, it comes down to what you want to achieve with your car. Good luck.

JP front bumper and tte lip are at a much different price point. For the price of the JP front bumper alone, you could get a nice lip, sideskirts and probably some rear apron. Having said that, there's no substitute for perfection. A JP front bumper gives you some serious exclusivity, meanness and probably some brownie points with the judges for its rarity factor.
So it's a Yea from me for a JP front.
