Default JP Type N or JP Type A with custom Sarona front?

I need to do some body change. I feel like my car's looking way too ricey and it's time to add a little class. I've always liked the JP Type N kit. But abui01 had that bumper and there's this stupid Mid-A rule that we cannot rock the same bumper. Ever since he crashed that bumper into a tree during lunch break, I've been thinking about getting that bumper. But at the same time, we have this idea about close all the vents on my current Sarona front bumper. I need opinion guys!

Here are the pictures..

My current setup (Sarona Front with JP Type A side skirts and rear bumper add on)


JP Type N full kit


Sarona Front with all vents closed with JP Type A side skirts and rear bumper add on)

^ the closed vents looks much better.

But of the choices there, the full Type N would be my choice. Too many random air vents with the sarona and JP type A sides. And I say close the air duct on the type N bumber, do nothing to the sides, and rock the car wingless again. You know how I am though, I don't like alot of add on's.

I don't think I'll ever get rid of that wing. I've received nothing but positive comments about the VS V2 wing with the CF showing in the flat area. Again, thanks to Juan for the brilliant idea and CT2 for the awesome paint job! However I am a little concerned if that wing will flow with the JP Type N kit.

Well, you know how I am about spoilers, for what it is, I think it looks good, not too crazy.

But RickDogs car is HAWT -- thats for sure, I would kinda do up a SS rickdog replica of sorts, with your own touches of course. You already got the wheels.

JP Type N head and shoulders!

reason:
1. the Serona front doesn't match the sides all that well
2. the Serona is too complicated and has too many holes
3. JP Type N is sooo clean!

if you must keep the Serona, i think shaving the fogs would be sick!

Decision made! I'll keep the kit and just shave the fog lights and nostrils like Robbie suggested. With the recent accident, I should be able to get some good use of the insurance money. I'll also get the JP Type A side skirts molded to the stock side skirts and the JP Type A rear bumper add on molded to the rear bumper. I'm sick of the "body kit look". I want everything to be fitted nicely and look one piece. So anyone here knows anyone that does some nice fiberglass work?
