Thumbs up To kit or not to kit

I have an 03 acura to type-s and bought a lip kit off of eBay. I am repainting all of the bumpers and the hood either way, but recently I think I like the look of my car without the lip kit, especially cause I am lowering it and am waiting to put on new rims on it I got this winter. What do you guys think I should do, and do u guys have any pics of any tls without the lip kit that have been lowered. Thanks for the input it is appreciated

There is a member on here and his Avatar is his WDP TL-S without a kit. It looks okay, but without bigger wheels, (+18") it doesn't look good with just a drop.

i live in nh and the roads are awful after the winter, so im also worried about cracking up the kit if i get the drop. Plus, I dont know why my view has changed so much in the past months, but im liking the lipless more and more.
