help me decide: stillen front lip, ionic CF lip, or luda lip?

meanwhile i'm working on my 97+ convertion i wanna add a lip to make it stand out more. originally i was gonna go with stillen lip and just get it painted... but ionic CF lip looks nice too, plus i don't need to paint it, and CF lip will match with my car body color really well. (IMO). then lately ludacris has his "luda lip" (aka home depot lip)... it's cheap but IMO it looks pretty good...
so which lip should i purchase?

Stillen. Please no more Luda Lips! Stillen lip on a converted front is nice. I've done it, bumper cover, corners, headlights, and clears too. Looks great.

get the luda lip....drive round w/it for a few days..if u dont like it throw it out, then find out how much its gonna cost total for the cf lip shipped vs. the stillen lip painted and shipped, and pick the cheaper one......cuz the cf looks nice but on a black car its not gonna stand out...

I have the Ludalip and I definetly recommend it as a first lip. I have smashed the crap out of mine in the past few weeks and since its so cheap I can just throw it away and get another. It may be "ghetto" or cheap but if when you break it no one gets sad. The Stillen lip is sweet but once you crack it up say bye-bye to $400 easy.

for six dollars? sure! I'm poor.
BTW, do you really want a "lip" on your
car pretending to be bathroom wall trim?

there are times to go cheap and the car is not one of them

eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches so you can afford that extra money for the lip.

Home Depot racing owns you! I loved my lip and i got lots of compliments on it but like 10to1 I abused the **** outta it and it took all of it until it ripped off the other day

Go with stillen, it won't break. I wanna try a 95-96 bc the 97-99 doesnt look that good (instead of flowing with the car's lines it creates its own).

but dont you get a lifetime warranty against the lip cracking if you buy it new?

ktv my gf and her buddies drag me to that...i never understand the point of paying money to sing in front of a tv tho. I spent enough in the last week to buy a full stillen kit installed and painted just on furniture for my new place

lol yea i came to CA after 4th grade, but i still read chinese books/newpaper/comic and listen to fob music. so i can still write/read/listen/speak most of the traditional chinese (taiwan mandarin). even though i worked at starbux like for 1.5 years (hs junior-college freshman), i still keep really closely with asian stuff. but now i work at a sushi place part-time and a tapioca place full-time.

hell i'm running chinese windows xp pro right now...lol
