Default Front lip...what are my options?

I am looking to get a front lip or spoiler for under the front bumper of my starfire is-f.

What are my options? Who makes them and how about some pics?

I am budget minded, but want something that looks good, but not over the top.

The AutoCouture looks great. Lexon, Ventross, TOMS, Euroteck has been working on one, but I don't think it has pics yet. I don't recall prices, but none of them are even relatively cheap. But, though it costs an arm and then a leg to wait for it to be shipped, the AC lip is the best IMO without altering the look of the front bumper that much.

Related question: which one of these lips can be easily installed/uninstalled?

Once my ride is lowered, I'd hate to have a lip on that scrapes every time I enter a shopping center or pull into my driveway... though it would be nice to have something for shows/etc. Call me lazy but I it would be nice to have something that I can slap on the car in 15 minutes and be done... no double tape, just screws

the ones i've seen won't be able to just slip on and off easily except for the ones that completely bolt on from the bottom

the autocouture one will leave small scratches if you take it on and off a lot...

there is a lot of choices and all with different prices. the auto couture and lexon is about the same price. i was goin for the ac lip but i read somewhere that if u don't have ur bumper clear bra it will leave a scratch on ur bumper when putting it on and taking it off repeatedly. so just watch out when taking it off and putting it on.
