Default Lip or no Lip...?

Im thinking of going with the OEM lip spoiler but still not 100% sold on it. I like the clean look of no spoiler. My sister has a SW tC with the OEM lip and i like it. If i do get it ill probally get it from spoilerdepot.com. I think they have it for $200 painted and ill be doing the tape method (no drilling!). Just wanted to get some input on what yall would suggest to do? I like to keep my tC clean and simple. Nothing crazy or over the top. Im not trying to win shows or anything i just cant make up my mind? I should be getting a cost of living check sometime next month or so and ill use some of that to get it. Let me know and vote!

not sure, but i would be slightly careful out there... there are some cheap knockoffs of the OEM spoiler out there..

the OEM lip spoiler is pretty subtle and adds a small but nice touch to the car...

it'll be good if you just use tape properly so you don't have to drill... give you the option of removing it if you want in the future without holes.

go for the lip spoiler. IMO the car looks like its missing something without one IMO.

if you want even more subtlety, you should pick up the m3 spoiler

sure why not? a c/f oem lip spoiler (big style) would go nice with the flint mica color.

it wont be CF if i do get one. I was never into CF on a dark car and dont care for the look of it. Either OEM FM color or None. Ive heard great reviews about spoilerdepot.com on here. Not like those eBay ones that the paint starts fadding after a month of sun. Im actually leaning towards no atm?

i also thought about the OEM lip kit but with hotchkis springs and my roads down here, no way! It would eat up that front lip the first day. I like the look of it without the lip kit.

I think the lip will give the car a more aggressive look.

the back end of the tc IMO looks bald without something sitting there
