This is probably a matter of preference, but I like them both. Right now I'm torn between these 2:



OR




Edit: now that I have the pics in the same page, I think the second one looks better.
I've got the Gialla lip (the second one) and I love it. At first I was going to go with the first one, but I changed my mind and I think it fits the car much better.

Hey Justice, go with the one you like the most, I bought the first one and installed my self, I like it very much and to be quite honest it was a lot cheaper than any other I have seen. Good luck,

Thanks fellas. I'll decide which one to get once I have the funds.

A little concern though, does having the front lip make you hit bumps more even with factory suspension (not lowered)? I would prefer not to hit things like curbs and humps with the lip spoiler.

You are getting a tad closer. Look at the bottom of the bumper to see if you are a scraper.

With the stock suspension you should be fine, but the Gialla lip hangs lower (you can see in the picture) than the other lip. I'm lowered and I only scrape some of the time, so with stock suspension I don't think you'll have any problems. The bottom of my lip is pretty banged up with scuffs and paint chips but you can't really tell unless you're bending over and looking underneath it anyways.

Both lips can be found on ebay for about the same price (under $100).

I have the stock suspension and my lip rarely scrapes, it will only make contact with unusual height curbs or parking lot stops.

I just saw the second one in person. It actually looks good. Though it was a black car. I may cramp him and buy one.

so ill be dropping off my car this Thursday to finally get my headlights done!
i think i asked this before but i learned alot more since then.
we have xenon bulbs in the 06-07 projectors right? now is it worth going with a hid kit for the fogs / low / high beams?? they charge 125$ but i might still be able to use there 20% off sale ( ended on x-mas ) to get it for 100$ or so.

so my question is, is it worth getting a hid kit? i love the output it already gives and would be mad if it looked much different. what would you guys do. leave stock or get a hid kit?? also what number 6k?



also the most important question is. can i fully paint the headlight housing even including the chrome pieces near the low/high beams? when i took my car there to get looked at, the guy said he had to leave those parts chrome or else the light wont reflect as good?? if thats true is it even worth painting the d@mn lights black if theres gonna be chrome now....

the fog/low beam reflector has to stay chrome.The entire housing will be black and will still look better. The cheaper thing to do for the fogs would be to get you a el cheapo blue or yellow H4 bulb and use it. Also if the HID kit you're buying doesn't have high beam function, you will loose your high beam. I personally dont like aftermarket HIDs because of the failure rate.
