Question What front lip should I buy?

Hey guys wanting to buy a front lip for my car but not sure what to get. I am looking for something like the GFX front lip that bolts right up without a hastle and doesnt look to bulky. I am really thinking about just getting the GFX front lip but I want to see what other options I have first. The GFX seems a little plain to me but I have never seen one in person either so that might be my problem to. So if you guys could give me some suggestions and post some pics it would be great and oh yeah my car is 08 SMG if that is needed to help anyone.

Thanks,
Ryan

I like my GFX kit, but after seeing the WALD kit I really like that. Try this website, it has pics of different kits:

I have the GFX front lip and I like it. It's not too bulky and the quality is good, fitment is great. I think it's noticeable without being overly aggressive.... definitely an improvement over stock.

I have the GFX kit but I've seen TLe2006's kit and I must say, it looks amazing. I would trade it in a heart beat! He has the fabulous kit like this one:

IMO, the Fab front is nice, but the rear canards are ugly.

Love the Wald front, can live with the sides, but HATE the rear.

gfx, wald, 5axis are the only good looking front lips. the rest look waaay to bulk and fat, doesnt match the cars smooth lines.

front Fab or F-Style (Fab replica) looks very aggressive without being bulky and is a direct bolt on like the GFX
