Default Need help picking kit...Amuse, Cwest, or Nismo V2

Ive been trying to decide on a aero kit for my car, but cant seem find one all around that I like completely. Im torn between the Amuse, Cwest CF lip kit, and the Nismo V2.

Here are a few pics of my car...LMK what you think would look best with my setup so far. I also plan to get a hood and wing with the aero combo.




Of course, no one in my area has any of these kits so I havent been able to take a look at them in person. But I have seen hundreds of pics of these kits on the forums and they all look great. The Amuse is nice, but sometimes it looks like the sides and rear could be more complete looking...almost like it doesnt seem to drop the car as much as the ings sides and rear. I like a very full and defined look. The Nismo V2 front looks awsome! Makes the Z look somewhat exotic IMO, but the sides and rear are the downfall IMO. They dont fill the car out whatso ever...but I also love the V2 type E wing as well.
The Cwest kit is also amazing, but Im worried b/c its carbon fiber. How easily does these front lips break? I am dropped pretty low, and I also do drift events and Im worried about breaking the front or the sides. I like the fact that the other two I can get in polyureathane...

Any comments/thoughts would be great!

Not really feelin the JP kit as much as the other three.

Can the Cwest carbon fiber break easily? is it like fiberglass? Does anyone have the Nismo V2 front bumper with Cwest sides and rear?

anyone have any pics of mix and match setups that include any part of the amuse, cwest, ings, and nismoV2? ive done tons of searchin on this board, but still hard to tell what thing will turn out like. I definately want everything to have a solid defining line at the bottom all the away around, and ! wan everything to flow well with each other.
You thing the nismoV2 would look good with cwest sides and rear?

are you planning on leaving the cwest kit in CF if you get it or painting it? if you are going to paint it you can get the non cf version (pfrp) which does have some flex to it.

yea, i do like the amuse front alot...I also like the sides and rear, but some pics of andys car, it doesnt look as full looking as...say the ings sides and rear...or even the cwest. Im not sure if its just the dark pics of andys car, but it looks like the sides and rear are almost stock heighth...the cwest and ings looks like the heigth of the sides and rea are a bit taller so to speak compared the th pics of andys car...im not sure if its just b.c he isnt dropped as much as others or what...maybe someone can shed some light here.
do the amuse sides and rear look about the same size as the ings and cwest? or are they skinnier...

also i did see the cwest flex lip, but i was planning to leave it Cf if i did go that route. I do prefer the full bumper look or lips ar half bumpers, but the cwest looks so damn good. I dnno, its a tough choice fellas...ill probably end up with the amuse or nismo V2 b.c the full bumper thing, but I dont know what sides and rear ! will go with.

is there any good copies of the ings sides and rear...how much is the estimated cost of getting the sides and rear to fit?
