Arrow want a new front lip need feedback !

What's up guys/gals before i buy anything for my car i spend a ton of time on here researching and getting feedback. i am looking into a new front lip and side skirts (down the line) i love the height of the car and might actually go a tad lower. i've narrowed it down to 2 choices ING or VERTEX. now my 1st question is which lip do you think i can safely run whichout smashing everything on the road ? And 2nd question what are your thoughts on nextmod replica's ? asking because its a front lip and i know its going to get abused so of course the price difference has got me thinking... well let me hear what you think... here are some photo's to give a idea of ride height.

i think Vertex will look sick with your set up. And plus it wont be as low as Ings so u wont be scraping everywhere.

1st of all.....car came out really nice with the new wheels! Vertex is the only way to go! Probably cause that's what I have. INGS is WAY too bulky and will hang lower. Vertex looks cleaner.

I've never seen the Nextmod lip, but someone told me that some replicas don't have the little ridges where you mount the lip to under the car.

I once bought the nextmod rep and the finish was horrible and no pre-drill holes. It needed a good bodyshop to do the prep work before painting. I took the lost of $$$ and returned it. I have seen pic of 09+ nextmod rep, it has pre-droll holes and quality seems to be much better.

vertex will make the bottom of your "bumper" approximately 1.5-2.0 inches lower than the factory(not gfx)
