Default Looking for front lip option! Wald or Fabulous?

I'm thinking of a front lip in the future but can't decide between a Wald or Fabulous front lip. Going to college next year so I can't afford the real thing and going with reps on eBay. I really want an Auto Couture lip but $800 is too much for me. I have a black IS350. So which is better to you? Any pics of black 2IS's with either one of these lips would really help! Thanks!

Not bad, but not my taste. I want something simple, but not too simple like the GFX lip, or something too much like that. I guess the Fabulous lip is what I'm going for maybe.

I got my lip from bayson r and it's the jp replica fitment is great and the price is right. But I did start out wanting a Wald. So my vote is for the Wald. I just wish it came in urethane instead of frp or fiberglass . That was the main reason I went with the bayson r. My wife has already hit 2 parking dividers. And it didn't break at all just a few paint chips

Hmm, you brought up something interesting. Anyone know whether the Fab or Wald lip is higher off the ground? About two months ago, I accidentally went too far ahead in a parking spot that the divider went under my bumper, when I put it in reverse, the divider pulled my bumper half way off. It broke a tab so the bumper sags a bit under the headlight but it's almost unnoticeable. Not a big issue since I back into my spots most often.
