Default Opinions Please! (Front Lip)

Ok so just to spice things up until i hit the lottery i have 1 of 2 lip choices i can get for cheap ($30-50) and i'll slap em on myself. Nothing fancy, but i want a LITTLE something there. Both are Poly Urethane and both will be a glossy black. Cant decide which i like better though, its tough. So any opinions on the 2 or even if you know a better cheaper one!

Option 1.. a Nismo N1 Replica

Option 2.. a "Kingstyle" front lip (keep in mind it wont look like that on my PPW and im keeping whatever lip i get black)

Opinions Please!  (Front Lip)-lip2.jpg

Any thoughts/input? Which do you like more? After getting a dent fixed, ordering a spoiler, and setting aside money to paint/install that this is all i can do for now.

I would go with the Nismo but for that price it might not last. Do it right the first time if possible

Both ebay lips. Nismo replica looks nothing like the real Nismo V1 lip.

Get the Nismo it looks much better. I might be a little biased because I'm getting it soon Where are you getting it at that price of "30-50"?

When it comes to lips honestly no matter how much you pay for it, it's gonna get banged up... just get what you think looks best.

I met a guy with one of those lips on his, unpainted. It didn't look very good in that manner. I'd go with the kingstyle, but get it painted.

I guess you missed the point, both are ebay lips meaning can't get any cheaper yet better.

I'm anti fake Nismo and it's a bad replica at that. I wouldn't run either, but it's your car and yes you asked for my thoughts and input, so I gave it.

They are both Ebay. I feel like the front end is just missing something and i wanted to fill it with someone quick, cheap, and easy. Theyre both wicked cheap and not meant to be a permanent thing. I need a new front bumper anyways there was more rock chips then i can count when i bought it. After i order my rims and tires i'll have more money to play with then i'll buy a new front bumper, clear bra it, and get an actual lip. Just wanted to see which people liked more as a temporary addition.

It is my car, but sometimes people have bad opinions. Just because i like something doesnt mean the rest of the world will. I guess what im getting down to, is which one is less of an eye sore xD

I will say look though the inputs and pick out those you like best. For anything in the world some will like it others won't. Very normal. Try and get used to the system and get the best out of it and ignore anything that you consider "flaming".

stillen makes one for both the new and old bumpers, both are on their site. They are also just over $200 shipped, so I would say they are a great option.

Do they fit an OEM bumper though? Every splitter ive seen has been on an after market bumper.

stock 06-08 bumper
03-05 stock bumper
just make sure you click the one labeled "for oem fascia". They are $226.24 shipped. I also have a thread full of pics of this mounted on the stock bumper. I am torn as to whether I am buying one, but hopefully this will help you decide on it. They're an awesome addition to the car!
picture thread

I hope this all helps you!

Those splitters do look pretty good, much better than the first 2 options.
