Need help in deciding new front lip

With my collision, Longo Lexus has been exceptional in taking care of us and giving us excellent service. ![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
The insurance is issuing us a check for replacing the front lip because it was damaged in the accident. Now I have the predicament of deciding on a new front lip in a reasonable price range. ![Confused](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/confused.gif)
I've narrowed it down to 3, the 5Axis, GFX, or sticking with the CF Fabulous Replica.
5Axis

GFX

CF Fab Replica
![](http://inlinethumb56.webshots.com/21687/2816318980099908742S600x600Q85.jpg)
I'm leaning more towards the 5 Axis front lip because it should get better ground clearance because no matter how much I angled it on certain driveways, I was still scraping the Fab. GFX would be cheapest, but the dealership has to install it and they "insist" they need to drill holes. 5Axis I honestly don't know how it attaches. From looking at it, I see no holes. Is it just 3M adhesive holding it on, or can someone shed some light on this?
Thank you.

Thanks rooster, were new holes needed to be drilled or just screws already there used? I might try talking to them to see then if it's easy if they can just leave it bare and I'll put it on myself unless they can do it for cheap and if they can paint it for me as well. The GFX lip if the dealership got it was going to be $460 unpainted
.
Thanks for all the responses, I added a picture of each.

Since you used my car as a model, I'll vote for 5Axis!!
I'm actually getting another lip soon, but loved my time with this one.
Installation is a snap - 3M double sided tape in the front, two screws in the back. The screws are optional, but I felt more comfortable using them. My lip was a prototype, but fitment was still superb.

Thanks for all the responses already!
Yeah, I'm on chrome stocks and on H&R springs, which I'll stay with until I can find a wheel that I will like for a long time.
For the gfx lip, the dealership wants to drill holes in the side where the slot is. Does anyone know which hangs lower, the gfx or the 5axis lip?
