Opinions on Kuruma Z with stock suspension needed

As of this coming Thursday, my 04 IP coupe will have the rear valence wrapped in black vinyl. With that and my Strafespeed V1 trunk, I’d say my rear is done for now (Unless any of you all are in the Holiday spirit and would like to donate a CS rear!). So now I’m torn as to what my next series of mods will be. Due to the terrible curb of my driveway, I figure I can go two routes:

1) Kuruma Z front and Impul sides on stock suspension (I added layers of cardboard squares to my front bumper to be approximately even/lower than the mud flaps which apparently is the height of the Kuruma. They got over the curb with about .5” to spare)

Or

2) Springs/coilovers and then 06-07 headlights/tails or possibly wheels (But I would like for more to be done to my car before I get wheels)

Besides clear corners and a matte black grill, my front has nothing done to it. So here’s my question: Do you all think a poly Kuruma Z bumper (and eventually Impul sides) would look fine on a stock suspension? I would really like to get the Kuruma so as to make my car stand out more, but I wouldn’t want it to look awkward since my car won’t be lowered. All opinions and comments are welcomed!

I would def go with option 2. Kuruma and Impul are one of the best, imo, setups there is but on stock height with wheel gap it will look silly. If you can't possibly get out of your driveway no matter what angling/possibilities of blocks or w.e I would pass on them personally. At least until you can either move, or get a cupkit for your coils or airbag setup.

Do you have any other pictures of this set up before the 19s? I checked your albums and couldn't find any (except for pictures of a DG coupe, which now has me confused as this is IP)
