Default Front Lip Suggestions

Just want a few suggestions on what front lip I should buy. I want to keep my oem bumper just want a lip for it.
Preferably a more aggressive looking one, not one thats super rounded off/oem looking but also not a snow plow.

Anything but that crappy ebay one that everyone has these days. I'm not good with front lip brands but check the exterior forum.

Just to give you an idea. Here is my TopSecret Carbon Fiber Lip. Im sure a lot of people on here will back me up and say it is a pretty high quality part and much better than the ebay ones.

Seen kids in high school create their own lip kit for their cars as part of a best mods for under $100 challenge with 15 bucks of supplies from home depot lol. Surprisingly enough the design was smart. If the car had a real lip it would of broken apart because his car was so low. He used a rubber weather strip for a garage and just slapped that b!tch on his car and over time he started getting all unique with it haha. Anytime he hit a curb or tried to get in his driveway the lip would just scrap along and reset to how it was before since it was made out of a rubber Styrofoam type material. Please don't do this to your Z though. Folks here will flame you, myself included lol.

It really depends on what version front bumper you have. I dont think there is many good looking lips available for the z anymore (in my opinion). the nicer looking/ good quality non-ebay lips are rare and hard to find. Not many are willing to fork over the amount of cash that they are priced at for one. people just spend that money and get a front bumper.

My personal favorites are is the Veilside, Authentic Mine's (which i have one), and Topsecret
