Did you mix up different armors? I hope not. Your abilities make a big part of your style.
Anyway, the best solution is to keep your whole best equipment and replace the piece you're IWing with anything that still matches the style.
If the remaining gear is good, it shouldn't be a problem, running IW.
Mixing is bad, and using another style with bad pieces is probably even worse.
When I re-Iw'd my Force Shield, I bought a high level (463 iirc) SDE Mag Force Shield with almost MMax block for 10k from AssSpanker and I forged it to 10, soulbound it (I was lv 455 iirc), and used that to IW my Leg one. (the shield was HGW, so he made a good deal! (IMG:[

A little less smooth play in PFUDOR IW100, but never risked to die, nor sparked.
After I finished the IW, I just salvaged and got back everything but 1 DMM, 1 Barrier Binding and few low and mid grades.
In the end it just costed me around 35k of materials and some soul fragments.
In your case just buy a random high level leg shade for 5k, soulfuse it, and equip it with your other light pieces, and you shouldn't feel much of a difference.
After the job you can scrap it.
