If money is not a problem, I would definitely go with the Stillen kit, it looks so tight!

you don't have to get full bumpers, just the lips make it look complete. I think in alot of cases, the lips look better than the full bumper covers. But of course it's all up to owner preferance. I just prefer a more subtle look. Just leave the foot tall aluminum "racing" wing off the trunk and you'll be good in my book

I think it all depends on the look your going for and the type of rims you have.
I prefer the stillen kit myself but the price is kind of up there.
IMO
I think the ionic kit looks nice with 18's... i've seen this kit on cars with 16's and 17's and it just makes the wheel well look huge and the rims look real small.

The stillen kit looks nice with some 16's or 17's.. it gives it more of a racing look.

i agree that the subtle lip kits look much better than the full bumper kits out there. stillen or ionic, both very nice and similar kits.

fyi the ionic kit sits lower than the stillen kit.
either one will look better than none.

stillen is the way to go. If you get a kit like the r33 type you need to paint the kit. So over all you will need more money for the kit that consist of changing the whole bumper and all.

there is a reason so many have it because to most people it is the cleaned....i think the skyline looks kinda cheap.

when choosing a kit make sure you sides and rears match.
