Opinoins ... Front Lip ... Stillen or Ionic Dynamics?

Is there a consensus on these?

The cost isn't the issue.

Quality and appearance is more why I'm asking.

I know, based on my searches, that the Stillen is known to be a nice piece, but I'm wondering if, with it's styling it'd look silly or out of place on my car which is not appearance modified at all.

I'm wondering it the smoother, more conservative styling of the Ionic piece would be better suited.

Opinions?

Here's the car:

I would say Stillen for sure. I say this because the Stillen is urethane and can take scrapes and bumps better. The appearance of the Stillen looks more complete and designed than the ionic dynamics.

Just take a look at the side of the Ionic Dynamics vs the Stillen. The Ionics just kind of smooths out and doesn't seem to flow with the other parts on the car. The Stillen on the other hand has more dimension to it and flows up with the fender.

Don't get me started on the sides and rear of the Ionic Dynamics, those are just plain ugly.

Stillin for sure changes the whole appearance of the car . it gives it that classy SLEEK look. people will think your modified but who cares.

Really? Because mine hasn't.

And I've scraped the thing a bunch of times. It's not like it's never been touched.

Yeah ... the CF is really pretty and likely pretty durable.

But with my car being more basic in appearance I'm not sure it'd fit in with the overall aesthetics.

The color matched lip is where I'm thinking I need to go with my mild drop and traditional-ish wheel/tire combo.

^^ You call that a mild drop?

Lolz that's no mild drop, not on a 4th gen sir...

Anyway I would to the Stillen lip for 4th gens, I think it fits very good and looks good, it really adds a nice touch to the 4th gen front and color matched looks real good..
