Default Varis lip kit vs Amuse

Need some advice fam.
So I have a specific taste for anything, especially when it comes to cars. I was going to go with a lip kit for my 2014 Z. It's the varis lipkit. Was gonna with Fly1motorsport (spec v). The cost is 1800 (900 a pop/Full Carbon). Looked at amuse bumper pricing, literally $50 more. Lol. If I can manage to find a decent price to paint the kit (or wrap my whole car to match perfectly) should I just go for Amuse?
I'm torn between the two, lip kit is Suuuuuuper clean. But so pricy that anyone I've talked to even BMW M series, porche, amg, and even Audi owners have said, that's A LOT for a lip kit that you can potentially scrape up in NJ. Been told thats bumper pricing, not lip. My boy with the e92 got, front/back lip, side blades, and trunk lip, full carbon for around a grand. Not complaining about the pricing for the Z, it's my favorite car and I will drop money to have it how I want but, what should I do? Let me know if I should include pics...thanks. #SorryForTheLengthyPost #ButWhoElseToComeToBesidesMyZFam #Thanks

Catch with the bumpers is you would have to either sacrifice the DRL's or pay for replacements. I think the Varis Arising II bumper (not lip kit) outright re-uses the OEM DRL's. Basically looks like more aggressive version of stock.

If you sell your stock DRL's - you come out even.
