Default Amuse w/ Titek???

I am in the process of having my Amuse front bumper painted. I will also have th diffuser installed. I am debating whether or not to install the Titek air duct that I have. Looking for feedback from the masses. What sayest thou ????

Why spend the money on the Amuse bumper and put a shitty Titek duct in it?

I bought the Titek to install on my Aerosync bumper. But when it got damaged I decided to get the Amuse. Just thought it might look good. As you can see I am on the fence on this one so I sought the opinions of my Z breteheren.

From a completely financial standpoint, adding that duct will only reduce your chances to sell the front bumper if you ever decide to.

I would leave the front bumper alone though. I would be mostly afraid of the titek's quality and the CF yellowing or cracking.

im telling if you get it molded into the bumper and painted, it will look sick. someone on the boards had it done with an aerosync bumper and it looked badass.

the problem is, the bumper without the diffuser doesnt sit low enough to to complement the side skirts. the lip of the stock bumper will sit a few inches higher than the side skirts. from the profile view it looks off.
