OEM, WW W-type, or Kaminari kit..?

I'm almost ready to buy a kit, just finished saving up some money. What do you guys think I should get, from the choices here. This is for a Accord Coupe EX V6 in Silver.
1-OEM kit
2-WW W-Type lip kit
3-Kaminari kit (so expensive)

Please give me some info on: 1-why you chose that kit over the others?
2-Price you paid for the kit, painted and Unpainted.
3-How is the kit holding up for the time it has been on/
4-Any other important info on getting a decent deal on product and price would be nice. Thanks.

oem or WW because they are constructed of sturdy urethane. fiberglass can be sturdy in some cases but is very susceptible to chipping, especially on the front bumper where it matters the most.

i would go with the OEM kit because it is prolly the cheapest and best constructed. shoudnt be too much money, but the paint will be expensive.

i have the ww type w on my car for a year now, and it is in perfect condition. like hybriddc2 said......they are made of urethane and can withstand many a bumps. i paid $620 unpainted and i had a friend at a big car dealership around here paint the kit for $50. (excellent job too!)
anyway.......good luck with your choice!

Personal opinion: I hate Kaminari kit

but that's my two cents ...
