Lightbulb Outside Opinions Needed

So I'm looking to do some light appearance modifications. Right now I'm torn between 2 looks for the front and I need some outside help to determine which looks better.

The First is a "Evo" mod (and yes I realized afterwards I messed it up a bit not doing the whole opening)

The Second is the Evo mod plus the rest of the front lip. (If I keep this one I will end up doing the side skirts and bumper lip also to have a full strip around the car)

So I ask you wonderful Cobalt Enthusiasts for some help in determining what looks good and unique.

Sorry for the crappy Phone camera Pictures, can't find my camera.

Painting the middle portion of the lower lip does not look Ricer, frankly GM shoulda done this from the start, it looks really nice, a lot of the more expensive trims of cars have been doing this lately

Both look really bad, your paint lines are terrible and choppy.

I don't like this trend of painting the center of the front lip and opening but that's when it's done correctly, you haven't painted this correctly at all. Remove the paint and if you really must have this on your car, have a professional do it.

No it's rice, technically this isn't at all like an Evo, the center is black on an Evo not the bottom.

Just randomly googled the evo for an image for you..... but as you can see the whole middle and bottom are black.

And yes my lines are choppy, it's my first time attempting this and since it's only plasti dip it removes rather easy. I'm doing this to experiment and see how different looks will turn out.

Thanks for the constructive criticism feed back though. I like seeing all aspects of people opinions, otherwise I would of just asked friends that would say yea it looks great.

If you wanna be "unique" then don't do the Kia mod at all. Everyone does that these days.
