05 NBP TL front end conversion

I'm going to be doing a front bumper swap/conversion/transformation/change since my a-spec lip is cracked and due to a slight accident the front bottom of my bumper is a bit out of wack.

My question is, should I go for the 2007 Base TL front bumper with fogs, and BASE A-SPEC lip,

or

2007 TL Type-S front bumper with fogs, and TL-S A-SPEC lip?

the TL-S a-spec kind of looks like a darth vader mask, but still aggressive.
the Base a-spec is not as aggressive as the 04-06 a-spec lips.

And i'll just give you guys a pre-warning, i'm not going to do the accord fog light mod.

Get the Type-S bumper and leave it alone or get the base one and put on the a-spec lip.

actually, since it's NBP, the darth vader mask won't be that noticeable at all.

So if you get the 07-08 Bumper you're not going to do a fog light mod? Hmm then I'd say stick with the 04-06 and use the money for an 07-08 Type S rear a-spec mod.
