Default Pic request: Vertex kit vs TTE molded lip

i cant make up my mind, would like to see pics and hear opinions on what i should do.i am on 20's that arent that agressive. the over all look is a sporty. i am not slammed, on tanabe df's with a fat tire set up, 255-35-20 f and 275-35-20 rear. i know a pic would help but i do not have any as of now. thanks

Vertex goes well with an aggressive wheel fitment and a low stance. It would also help if get a full kit or a matching side skirt and rear bumper (front bumper only would not match factory sides and rear bumper.

TTE (molded or not) will match up well with factory sides and rear, as well as a more conservative wheel and tire set up.

So it's really what look you are trying to achieve with your car. Simple or aggressive.

The TTE lip is a great addition to the front and much better if it's molded. I would go with that but then again I'm not much of a body kit person. Not knocking it though.

i have the same grill and am on 20'' TSW Kayalami's but i am about an 1" lower than you are. it looks like the molded lip is the way to go.
ps i would have the molding look just like the blue one

That pic really isn't that great.. Depending on the road and angle i'm little lower than what that pic shows.. I think molded is the way...
