Default my plan for a combo kit - thoughts?

I was originally looking at the full Veilside Version 1 kit - front lip, side underwings and rear under spoiler. I just noticed that everyone and their uncle Ted has the VS-1 lip, so I don't know if I want that anymore. I know lots of people have the rear, but I absolutely love how subtle it is, so I still want that.

My plan:
Wings West front lip
VS-1 Side underwings
VS-1 rear underspoiler

It seems most have a love/hate relationship with the wings west kit, but I want to know your thoughts on the front lip mixing with the veilside version1 side underwings. I want to be subtle with the kit and accentuate, not change the look of the car.

I kinda have the same thoughts as you, but I was going for:

Wald front, sides and rear kit
Gia Cuzzo spoiler.

Not sure how it will look, but ..................................

I think the veilside is a bit aggresive, or kinda RICE-BOYish, but that is MY opinion only. It does look nice but just too OTT for me.

You think THIS KIT is over the top/rice????? Keep in mind, I am keeping the stock spoiler.

I like the Wald Sides and rear, but the front is just OK (I really don't care for a lot of fronts - having a hard time deciding on one). The Gia wing is a bit aggressive for my taste, but I think it looks decent.

If you like the wald sides, check THESE and they are made from PFRP flexible fiberglass

My humble apologies (he says touching head to floor!) I was getting confused with the V2 and 3 kits. Yes, i do like the V1 kit. I actually misread your post, think I am getting old and need glasses

The V2 and 3 kits are way OTT!

YES, I do like them, but I am at a real loss, as i want to lower her down some, but no matter where u go, there are speed humps everywhere, and i do not want to have to keep leaving her on the drive. I have 3 fairly large ones to get over just to get to work.

If I lower her and get the skirts, I will be restricted in where I go, and that could even mean work (mmmmmmmmmm, sounds tempting! hahahahahahaahahahaha)

Yes, now that I do like. Very "flowing" and does not seem to break the lines of the car. What will be the total "damage" for that combination?

Think I am just going to go with a rear spoiler to start of with, then lower the car and see how I handle the humps here.

It would be around $1800 + shipping and paint. My brother works for a body shop and said he would paint it for the cost of supplies.
