I've been trying to decide which lip or bumper to get, what should I do?

I live in NJ and I am dropped pretty low on coils / scrape my stock bumper here and there. So here are the ones I like:

TS-P lip- I like this one because its poly but it also sits really low and will prob scrape this everywhere

Autokits x - this is one of my favorites, and it doesn't sit too low but its made of fiberglass and I don't want to crack it. also I would want to mold it but fiberglass to poly isn't going to hold too well espically if im scraping.

or my last thought:
2011 ipl bumper with fogs (or just anniversary) has been growing on me, the more I look at the pictures. I think it will look even better when the car is lowered also. benefit of this bumper is it should sit at a similar height my current bumper. Does anyone know $$ of this bumper & fogs? this just seems to sit higher than the sides

I used to have the Autokits lip and now I have the AIT TS lip...I love both but I think for my taste the TS lip is better. I cracked the Autokits lip when I was driving in Texas (it got caught on a median ) and had to take it off

They are both awesome lips and both look great. If you are worried about scraping a lot though (especially since you are in NJ) you might either just have to live with scraping or not get a lip at all

if the autokits lip was poly, I would 100% get it and have it molded. how much lower does the ts lip sit?

I've seen a handful of people with the autokits lip molded actually

But in terms of height they are VERY close. I don't know which one actually sits lower

i thought that the autokit lip only sits like 1/2 inch lower than stock. and that the ts lip was very low (not sure exactly). but maybe if i can still get the ts-poly lip from igor i will go that route. poly is better that fiberglass and will hold up better

yeah it's ~1/2, maybe a little more. I just know I had the Autokits lip on eibachs and I scrapped just as much as now, and right now I have the TS lip on KW V3's and am lower than on the eibachs.

both are awesome lips though, and like I said, in NJ you might kinda be screwed either way as far as scraping goes.

I would NOT try buying the lip from Igor though...you'll never get it

I actually think autolits was the cleanest and most simple looking lips , TS my fav cause it's most aggressive and has always been my fav, looks awesome molded too. I also had issues w Autokits but because I'm soo low , as for TS I bought the bumper
Molded w 180customs TS lip and is poly and I've scraped /hit and not any issues other than a touch up i'n paint on bottom under neath... I like anniversary I wonder how it would look by itself just bumper alone. Depending on price I would go TS-p.

i like how the autokits is simple and clean, but i would also want it molded. not sure how the fg would hold up molded if im scraping here and there. (its not a prob if you got bags) i want to do cf headlight and grill and plain ip lip. you should trade headlight and grill and ill give $$. and get igor to paint the red, gloss black

i like the autokits the best, but i think the ts-p would hold up the best. igor doesn't have any more. so i posted up a wtb thread on g35nyc so i will see what happens with that

i would hate to get the autokits and crack it on like the 1st day

I have the AK-X (autokits X) carbon lip and I'm happy with it. Picked it because it follows the cars original lines and it is not too low.

IMO, the TS/AIT lip, although it looks very nice, is much more aggressive and would need a side skirt and diffuser to complete the look.

Now I'm debating whether I should sell my AK-X lip and go for the 2011/IPL bumper (I'm pretty sure the regular 2011 front end will look similar to the IPL bumper) I've been wanting the foglights down there forever.

i just got a quote on the bumper not sure if it comes with the fog vents, (but i will find out) $1385 and it comes painted
