Default Damd Lip is Damned, opinions wanted

So as some of you may or may not know, I have a RS 7.0 and i put a few pretty nasty cracks into the lower left corner of the lip . From looking at it the lip is not repairable . This sucks a bunch but i'm not too bent out of shape about it because the front lip was my least favorite piece of the Damd kit . It was borderline ricer-ish to me if you must know.

So, now i have a few opetions on which way to go and just wanted some of you guys/gals opinions.

1) Keep stock front bumper as is
2) Bomex front lip (this lip looks like it hangs pretty low, can anyone confirm this? Would be kinda sad to destroy another lip . Also did they make an all carbon fiber version of this?
3) 5 Axis front lip

I chose those two kits because they look like they flow best with the rest of the Damd kit.

Ready! Set! Comment!

Apparently the touchless car wash isnt completely touchless around me. I guess these things stick out from the sides to shine your tires or whatever and i hit it on one side and cracked the lip

Here are some pics

Do you have an RS 7.0 or do you just have the Damd rear and sides? Im leaning towrds the Five Axis kit because its urethane and i think its a little bit cleaner than the Bomex kit. Boston roads are not as nice as the Cali roads lol.

Nice car BTW.

Whered you score those TRD seats? I want a pair lol

I have 08 XB not an RS, But I do have the full kit including the TRD midpipe exhaust =)
I def understand what you mean with the roads, hey which ever is safer for you and works best. Keep us posted on which one you end up getting and post up pix would love to see the 5 axis with RS kit.
The seats I found at a local shop in LA when I saw them I knew a had to grab them or they'd be gone quick.

Thanks for the compliments guys!!

Why did you take it to an auto car wash in the first place?

I'd say fix it. From the looks of its not beyond repair. If not go bomex gozo1's ride is easily one of my favorites because of his kit variation.

thats actually not beyond repair.my Modellista rear kit broke in HALF and my autobody place fixed it and it practically looks brand new! but if you dont like the kit anyways, you should go with the Bomex. but Bomex is fiberglass as to 5axis's polyurethane.

Because it gives the results of a good hand wash, yet takes like 80% less time.

That is, as long as you don't mind residual grit being ground into the finish after the wax is applied and buffed.
