I am choosing between the two for the front lip. I personally like the look of Think Design but have checked with Japan dealer and said it is made out of FRP as compared to TRD's ABS plastic. The local body shop told me that FRP is not ideal as the paint will be easily chipped off by small rocks on the road. Anyone can share their experience?

If you don't mind the price, then TRD
Although FRP holds up to chips quite well if it is painted and protected correctly.
I have an FRP lip and it never chips. My paint shop applies a decent clear coat, then I apply 3M Paint Defender which works great!
The Thinkdesign lip is very subtle and looks great IMO.
