Front Lip Dilemma: Mine's vs. Fujimura

I'm at crossroads between these two. I don't plan on doing much to the exterior of my car besides front lip and painting the lower rear bumper area satin black.

Question Front Lip Dilemma: Mine's vs. Fujimura

I'm at crossroads between these two. I don't plan on doing much to the exterior of my car besides front lip and painting the lower rear bumper area satin black. As for wheels, it'll be something along the lines of black lip and gunmetal spokes (a la Volk GT-S).

So I need a subtle lip (CF preferred) to compliment my blacked out headlights without looking silly for not having a full body kit.

Thanks... I can't tell if the Fujimura is CF. I know the rear diffuser is from the photos. As for nostrils... none for me.

I have been considering the Mines myself but with all the huge speed bumps where I live I'm afraid the lip may get damaged. The factory plastic spoiler underneath is always dragging slightly no matter what angle I take on the bumps and I would hate to pay $1200 for a CF lip to have it get ruined.

Fujimura!!! It's the best one I've seen so far. Are they already selling it somewhere else apart from fujimiura's site? I've been waiting for that eversince it came out, because turns out I don't know how to read Japanese!!!

Ditto... I'm leaning towards the Fujimura lip assuming it's CF so that I don't have to paint it. It's a bit more subtle without requiring additional body panels. Mine's is more aggressive, but juts out a bit too far. I also deal with craptastic driveways and objects on the road. That's why I didn't install the OEM aero lip and air guides.

Top Secret had a nice CF lip for the 350Z, and they also sold the engine tray as a separate item. It'll be nice to replace the flimsy plastics underneath.

I think the Mines and the fujimura look good, its just a matter of personal preference. I may wait a few more months to see what else comes out before buying but I plan on getting a CF lip at some point.
