What I mean by fitment is that it should fit good, that I won't have to pay extra to fix it to make it fit lol thanks for your input

with most aftermarkets you'll have to do a bit of work to make it perfect. you can buy it, test fit it, then have it painted and put on. its rare to find any aftermarket to fit oem without any adjustments, even the expensive stuff.

if you don't want to go through that then DFWs2k is right, buy oem. ap2 front lip or cr front lip.

i've always liked the way oem lip looked with a front splitter from APR or from coastal metals.

ASM front bumper; the original is quite costly, shine makes a replica and I have heard nothing but good things in terms of fitment.

OEM or Shine like others have said. As for hood stock. Super light already so no need to switch it out.
