Wald, Vertex or Fab are my personal favorites. Like everyone else has said, just check out the bodykit thread by Rashoodz, I'm sure you'll end up finding one you like. Good luck.

Now the question is if you plan on just getting a front lip or an entire body kit. If you just want the front lip, get the Five Axis. If you want a full body kit, it's a toss up between the Wald and the Vertex.

Well I was planning on just a front lip. I'm not a huge fan of body kits and long story short my car got in a fight with an automatic car wash and it damaged the front lip

Automatic car wash?? Well, there's your first mistake.


Since you're only after the front lip, I recommend the Five Axis. A Vertex or Wald lip would look awkward without sides (imo).

I agree with montgb. Go with the 5axis if you like it and aren't going to be adding sides.

No prob man... I'm not sure if it comes painted or not, but you can probably ask Luis from l-tuned. User name is "Carson-Lex" - one of the site sponsors.
