destroyed my front lip last night, which should i get now?!?

Well last night i was unfortunate enough to totally destroy my veilside version one carbon fiber lip...by hitting a dam animal in the road...the bright side is that only my lip got messed up and nothing on the front bumper, so thats good i guess. Anyway, being that my lip was a veilside carbon fiber, i dont know what to get now that will go with my remaining veilside side skirts, and rear veilside carbon fiber lip. I looked around for a few hours but i am really just getting overwhelmed with all the different options, so i figured i asked you guys for your input. I was thinking of just getting another carbon fiber lip, or should i get a non carbon fiber lip and just paint it and paint over my rear carbon fiber lip? Or get a differ complete front bumper all together??? Change up the kit, get differ sides, differ rear, and jus sell what i got?!?!? i honestly dont know what to do, but i really havent seen another front that i think goes with the veilside apron style side skirts...so im lost and just want you guys input....

Maybe you should get the same one!? It looks good on your car. Info on that carbon intake hole!!???!??! I am assuming that it is for your intake. Can you post pics of that? I think a Kuruma would look cool on your car too.

Now would be a perfect time to dump the lip and those funky veilside winglets! Get a Nismo front bumper and you can probably keep your OE sides. Damn I dislike those winglets, why does anyone like those....

okok..i get the idea bout the veilside lip kit not really being liked..ok..starting over can be a opinion...but what route....and should i go back to oem with the hood as well?!?!? remove spoilers as well?!?!? i honestly have been thinking of the idea of cleanier lines, with a oem style look and no more wings...maybe just a gialla lip, or nismo bumper with only ing sides and a rear diffuser?!?!? im lost....too many opinions,,,,

IDK but I thinkk the RED Is taking away from the beauty of the car big time..... Your car would look amazing if it had just black wheels with no red and lose the veilside winglets for an aftermarket sideskirt......
