In my opinion, those suggestions above are uglier than the CR lip.

BUT, i think the CR lip needs other body kit parts, and aggressive wheels/setup to carry it. Especially on a white car. Otherwise, it can start to look like a snow plough. I can't see the side of your car, but it looks like it might be able to take it.

This is one of my favorites, AP2 with Modulo lip.
This is what I'll be running if I buy a AP2 front

+1 on that i'd like to trade my mugen lip for the oem if i could. the cr lip looks great too. but it'll only look good mated to the cr wing and some nice wheels.

This car looks great, but how does this Modulo lip differ from the ap2 oem lip? Looks the same to me.

Oem ap2 lip is great for durability and fitment where as I feel certain bumpers are too aggressive for a daily driven street car. I love the js racing front but if you throw on the canards it looks too aggressive to see parked at a grocery store and yet if you pull off the canards the bumper looks like its missing something. Where as the amuse gt1 (non wide body replica of course) also looks great to me but I can just hear the high school kids coming to vandalizing it. I've always been on the fence about body kits. A few years back I would slap anything on my car, but now I'm to worried about it attracting the wrong attention. To each there own of course also depends on if it's daily driven or not and where you live ..

Personally though my favorites
1.js racing
2. Amuse gt1 style none wide body
3. Asm with the lip
4.Amuse/apr front (not sure which is which )
5. Oem ap2 with oem lip
