Default Best front lip/bumper for downforce

I'm thinking about building a track beast and I want a front bumper or lip that provides a bit of downforce. What are my best options? I'm thinking about getting the CR front lip as it provides some downforce, but it's downright ugly in my opinion. What else is out there? Looks-wise I love the Amuse R1 bumper, but I can't imagine that provides any additional downforce. Thanks!

I would assume dive planes/canards + OEM lip would be quite a bit of downforce. A custom splitter is also an option.

Yeah, that could be an option although I'm not crazy about the looks of canards. Does the AP2 OEM lip provide some downforce?

oem lips do NOTHING. Downforce.biz claim their lip does perform. the CR lip ought to help.

i think the OEM lip combine wit the OEM sides will create at least a lil DF. as it is the aero spec option of the car rite? several companies has claimed downforce like the amuse lip, j's half lip bumper, spoon bumper.
IMO, those backyard or MG style lip are jus for looks
