Red face Connoisseur Sc430

Does anyone here have the whole connoisseur kit on their sc430 ? if yeah please post a couple of pics. I'm trying to decide between kits and can't seem to make up my mind which is stopping me from getting wheels as well. I've probably seen all the available ones as of now except for the connoiseur and the blitz (on any color other than silver). If any of you guys can help please let me know.

Connoiseur is NOT a aero product. Its a wheel. In the first pic, you see the Auto Couture front lip and in the bottom pic you see the Blitz front lip.

also, i believe there are two blitz fronts...one carbon fiber (expensive) and the other fiberglass

the auto couture has two versions as well...the lip kit and the full bumper replacement...

Import? sounds expensive. We don't all have the same massive budget that you do Henry.
