Question To CF or NOT???

Well i'm in a small dilemma . I'm getting tired of the complete stock body look on the outside and well the best option would be to get a front lip but with my tight money budget, huge speed bumps and lack of patience i have decided to either get the CF cover that goes in the middle of the front bumper orrr just deal with it and leave it stock. I did a quick job using Paint just to get an idea...

Stock...

I think that's Leemik's car and I'm pretty sure it's the Top Secret lip (03-05). That picture was my wallpaper at work for a while.


Top Secret just released a lip for the 06+.

thanks on the opinions z'ers. i really want a lip or a complete lip kit but where i'm currently living and the places i visit quite often they have huge speed bumps and not just one, more like 6+ in a row. As it is now taking the bumps at an angle my front barely passes and then either the mud flaps or the something else always hits/scratches i can only imagine having sideskirts .

here's what the CF front piece looks like on a PPW. It looks better than stock IMO but after seeing the Top Secret lip again, I want it now!

Here's the CF piece on an 07 redline.... it looks great and I don't have to worry about steep-angled driveways and speedbumps...










BTW, the swirls in the paint were put there by the dealer before I bought it
