What do you guys think i should get? (I will not be getting sides or rear, because im already scraping on my sides goin into my driveway.)

Here are my choices

get the TOM'S again

Vertex front Lip

5- axis


Other?

Here is a pic of my car w/ the TOM'S front lip and wheels






Sorry didnt really have good pics





I really shooting for something clean; i really like the way this looks (i know its not an IS) But I like how the kit flows with the wheels

Since your car is that low to the surface, you should just get another Tom's front lip. The Vertex hangs a lot lower in my opinion. You would probably scrape that all the time. The 5 Axis is different and not many people have it, but it's not my cup of tea. By the way, car looks great with the Tom's front.

I like the 5axis ..it can flow well with the oem side and rear. I love the Vertex but only as a complete kit. IMO the fab is not too agressive. The 09 gfx looks like it.

Is that the 09 Fab kit? Looks like they have Fab plates. Looks nice.

i say fab.. it's subtle but not that aggressive or GFX... you're not getting the full kit.. five axis would look weird... and also Vertex

Since your car is black, I think the Five Axis lip would look great, since the Tom's is too subtle of a lip to really be noticed on dark cars. I've never really been a fan of the "snow plow" look of the Vertex lip. Just my $.02.
