So which is which???

Here are the two that I am talking about:

They are clearly different, #2 has much bigger "flares" or "curves".

So who can help me out?

Thanks.

I actually like the Nismo V.2 front (w/o canards) and the USDM sides... for some reason just blends well in my opinion... there's a couple of guys here who have the USDM with the V.2 front... plus not many people have them because no one makes replicas of them, that I know of but thats IMO.
