not a big fan of the INGS lip. but go for the you like. all it matters its that you are happy with your choice and not ending up hating it later on

Mostly what I have to dodge in our interstate/freeways are those damn truck tire treads. In heavy traffic even if you see them you can't get into another lane in time. I've lost 2 front bumpers and broken another one on previous cars.
Whatever you decide to buy, new lip or front bumper make sure it's urethane and not fiberglass!
