Default Trunk lip - What do you think?

I'm actually diggin' this trunk lip:

What do you all think? Anyone else install this on their GS?

I also considered purchasing this:

Might be out of my price range. Anyhow, your opinions would be greatly appreciated.

You should get the JP replica instead for cheap on eBay.

I like it, but I want that a lil taller and just sitting on the trunk only and not resting or have anything hanging to the sides.

I agree, which is why I was considering the lip on my first link. My father in law has an IS300 and the trunk lip on his car looks similar to the first link I posted. I might try it out.

I never liked the stock wing and I don't really like the "3 piece" lips I've been seeing. The first and second link I posted are subtle enough for me but the second link's price is a bit too high for lip.

I think your first link is the best looking and for the money you can't go wrong. I purchased a roof spoiler from this same seller and other than the fact that it took almost three weeks to get it because they're in Taiwan, I've been real happy with it.

I agree on the three piece lip. I'm still debating whether to spend money on the lip from spolierdepot or go with the cheap
eBay lip.
