suggestions for lip kit

I'm looking to update the look on my g. I've done some research on this and what really impresses me so far has been the WALD lip kit and the sportec (hard to find though).

Can anyone provide some suggestions on what other lip kits are out in the market right now and would look sick on a 03 black g? Reason I'm emphasizing "lip kit" is because I don't want to spend that much on an entire body kit.

The Nismo kit looks the best IMO and I would get one if it wasn't so expensive and rare

+2, find a pic of Blksdn4me's car, he has one. Especially good on black since you don't even have to paint it!

Any good pics for the n1? The ones on ebay and google have really bad angles. And what side skirt and rear valence will complement it?

thanks aix. i was thinking about painting it, but didnt really want to pay the extra to paint it and still have the rest of the bottoms black. i was looking into going with a white carbon wrap on the bottoms. ill see if the black bottoms grow on me.

car west in fremont said @ $400 to paint and install the lip. and about as much to do the rest of the side skirts and rear. i think she was saying about $800. i didnt bother writing it down since vinyling seemed to be a better option for me i think. you might have better luck with pricing if you know anyone.

jesus....$400? Thats a total rip off. Did you install it yourself? Have any problems with the install or are the directions pretty straight forward?

i paid $150. i lacked motivation to install it myself. one saturday morning, i tried it, but it wasn't a perfect it. i would have had to get a heat gun i think to shape it to the bumper. plus i don't have any background in installing any body stuff. you'll definitely need double sided tape. the instructions they sent were generic. so it wasn't specific for the g35.
i went from a $785 monthly payment to $360. so i had a little extra cash to spend on the car before i started paying down my debt. haha.
