Tracer Style Front Lip OR Carbon Creation Front Lip?
So I've been searching around for different types of front lips and I'm down to 2. I am planning on spending around 350 or less. Really don't want to spend more then that. Here are the two lips and was curious which one was going to be more durable for just daily driving?

The two lips are very similar in design.IMO,you are making a mistake in the
long run by being limited in budget.Its best to wait till you have the bucks
for what will really meet your needs than to settle.For another $150,the
variety of lips...design and quality will expand.As for durability for DD,the
lips you are looking at have extended corners.This is a potential problem
for curbs etc.However,its something that I'm sure you will get used to being
on your car and allowing for the extra material being out there.
Most owners buy lips for the form(looks)rather than the function.For your
durability concern added with looks,I'd suggest a Mines or Chargespeed.
Are you looking for CF or FRP?Allin all,the Mines is ideal for fit,finish and function.
It works.The corners are contoured.Ground clearance is good.Installs in about
30 minutes.

I am actually buying the lip for looks as well that's why the lips look similar. I like the look of the extended corners. What I mean by durability is not breaking after a month or two of having it on. I had no idea that that the extended corners would be more of a problem but I think I will manage. Yeah I've seen Mines but not Chargespeed. I really like CF but if FRP will last just as long then I don't mind getting FRP. So my main question was just which lip out of these two is more of a better investment with how long they'll last. The CB one is about 70-90 dollars more then the FRP one.
