Default 05 Coupe EX-L Front Lip or Body Kit

I recently purchased an 05 coupeEX-L that was modified by its original owner.
He added a rear wing spoiler, xenon leds and blue door accessory lights.
I'm happy with it and would like an opinion on adding a front lip or possibly a full body kit.

Attached are a few pictures.

Thanks.

Body kit = rice in most cases, unless you're packing serious power under the hood/tons of cosmetic mods.

Lip kit = subtle sexiness that adds an aggressive stance, more of a sleeper look.

Keep in mind that HFP lip is for 8th gen Accords, you have a 7th gen. Look for Mugen and Type-R lips, Mugen is by far the most popular lip.

I like them both... but I'd still go with the lip over a bumper.

It's really up to you, man. It's your car, make it look how you want! VIS is a great brand, never heard or AIT though, but it looks nice! let us know what you decide!
