Default AP1 - Front Lip Help

Looking for some advise please, and this forum has a lot of great looking cars and good opinions on what looks good and what doesn't.

Facts: I have a stock 02 Spa. Looking to put on a front lip to start and then a rear.
Questions:
1) Carbon fiber on a Spa?
2) OEM, Amuse, or other? Leaning towards Amuse
3) Authentic products vs. replicas?

I've seen a couple of things on eBay that look interesting? Like OEM, Amuse like splittler, and Air walker. As well as the ITG Carbon fiber splitters. Would love to see some pictures and views.

Oh, and I am on a budget. Father of 4 kids under 7, means I have to save when I can.

Thanks

1. IMO the OEM lip looks the best
2. not a fan of carbon on any color other then black
3. very few replicas fit well, stay WAY away from the cheap $50 lips on ebay, complete garbage.

1- i think a CF lip will look good on a spa yellow if you have some dark colored rims to go along with it. i have seen a few other members with spa yellows on here with a CF lip and gun metal or bronze wheels and it works. here is a good example https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=439715

2- OEM and Amuse are my favorites. I have an OEM CF lip on my 01 GPW and love the look. i just cant wait to get my wheels powdercoated black to go with it. the amuse lip is pretty awsome too though. another one to consider is the J's Racing half lip, but A) def dont get a CF one unless you are going to paint it and B) it prolly isnt within your budget.

3- definitely go with authentic over replicas. pretty much the same reasons mentioned above. if you look in the for sale section you can usually find a decent one for sale.

good luck.
