    IS Lip w/splitter or Duraflex M-tech replica

    So I have to buy a new plastic bumper and while I was at it I figured I could add a lip or front lower part (I guess the part where the fogs go)

    O.E. Front bumper with IS lip and splitter


    This would be an eBay Duraflex piece adding on to my already O.E. front bumper.


    They are close to the same price but the Duraflex is of course non O.E.

    Just looking for opinions and some thoughts behind them.

    Thanks,

    Most of the responses are going to be personal opinion.

    But i have always preferred OE parts for fit and finish. Out of the two you posted I really like the IS lip with splitter.

        my recent purchase

        The car is pretty clean for being a 91. Exterior wise I won't be adding side skirts or a rear bumper. Maybe just a IS wing or something small and custom.

              I'd go with an iS lip on it.

                I'd say the first choice...
