Default cant decide on a front lip

I am pretty torn between the seibon front lip and the blitz front lip. i've looked around and i'm curious to know if anyone has pictures of either of these front lips on a tungsten pearl.
I am open to opinions
Thanks

if your planning to get just simply a front lip and no rear or side skirts... then blitz... seibon.... i believe your referring to the replica INGS kit... which is nice but it doesn't look good without the rest of the kit...

I have a vertex single exhaust rear lip (johnnyboy's old lip/exhaust) I am planning on getting side skirts. Im trying to get coilovers first.. the reason i am getting this is I was hit by a prius recently and the body shop said the lip was damaged (it has a tiny crack where it wraps into the fender well) and they said i could get something else if i wanted thats of the same value and i want to take advantage of it.

if you have johnnyboy's old lip/exhaust setup... between your two choices i would go with with the blitz front lip

as pictured here he only has the front lip and it's barely any lower than the original stock skirts and rear bumper (with no lip) where as the seibon ING's replica will look too low. The ING's kit is actually an inch and a half lower than the lowest point of the front of your car... which if you measure for yourself an inch and a half from the front plastic scruff piece..... pretty low....

my personal recommendation would either be vertex or fabulous front lip

Get full vertex

Blitz is better than Seibon.. If you like seibon, get it painted.
