Default Damaged my front lip, need suggestions for new one

Now I'm in the market of a nice looking front lip, but do all of them just bolt directly onto the bumper or drilling is required? I'm still deciding between:

1) Fabulous
2) Wald
3) GFX
4) Carlsson

Suggestions?
Also, what website or places in NYC sells these besides L-tunedparts?

I like Carlsson the most, but if I had a black car, I would go for WALD, but I heard they don't sell the front lip separately.

I like Wald and Fabulous. They look similar to each other too. I believe ltunedparts have Fabulous front lip for $500+ so it's kind of pricey. I'm looking for GB prices. I would be happy with any of the 4 that I listed above. So I'm guessing whichever is the cheapest in price. The GFX is $261 painted plus shipping. I'm trying to find out the prices for the others.

I believe OEM is the cheapest one(correct me if I'm wrong), unless you get a replica lip, but I would not suggest going that route. front lip kits start 200+ without paint.

So, I ordered the GFX lip for $291 painted and shipped. The others were way over my limit. Hopefully I won't run into trouble when installing

The group buy is suppose to end TODAY, January 1st. The code is still working now but it might not work after 12am. If anything, call them and tell them you're a little late, lolz.

Likewise. I'm waiting for a GB for the Fabulous kit. $500+ is way over my limit. It was too big to fit in Santa's bag also.
