Default Want a front lip, give me your opions

I was really looking for something that did not need to be painted. Im worried it will cost too much to get somone to properly paint the brick. In other words, possibly a CF lip.

Give me your opinions.

Thanks!

I went with the veilside carbon fiber lip for the same reasons, don't have to get it painted - plus it looks real nice. Pretty inexpensive too. Top-secret front diffuser is another option, but it's quite a bit more money.

Out of all the CF lips I've seen in person, the Top Secret one is hands down the best quality.

I haven't seen the Hasemi lip in person yet, once Frank's (fdao) comes in I'll let you guys know the quality of the CF. It should be pretty high quality though, I've seen one of their hoods and it was made very well, so I would expect the same of the lip.

I know you are looking for a CF lip, but see if you like Evo-R's lip, we are planning to have the same style lip but in half CF (the center black section in real CF). Click on the link for more pictures;

I don't like the indention in the very middle of the lip, I suppose that's where the company emblem goes.

Yes! You are right, it's where the company logo goes! However, do you guys think it will ruin the overall look of this lip? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated!
