Default Should I get a new lip?

I was thining about getting a new front lip for my '01. My current has a small pretty unnoticeable scuff on it, from me getting too close to a curb at an ATM. (don't ask how I could be so stupid, it was an already schitty day). Youc an see it if you look, but otherwise it's fine. Well, I was thinking about getting an aftermarket lip, cause I've seen a few that just look badass, but I don't know where exactly to look. Is there a place to see a bunch of different styles, or do I pretty much have to browse to the websites of each of the different manuf.? If the later is the case, can you guys suggest some sites with good ones? Also, other than buying an OEM lip, is it possible to get one pre-painted Honda colors (mine's a silverstone)? If not, about how much would a lip cost to paint at a good shop? And since the lip is an "add-on" piece, do they not have to do any blending of paint with the rest of the front bumper?
Now that I'm thinking about it, what about spoilers? I have the OEM spoiler, but I wouldn't mind a slightly more aggressive. Are there any that look good? And no offense to those with them, but I'm not talking about a big wing. I'm not really into them. Just something a little sweeter than the OEM spoiler.

If you browse the Gallery of this forum, I'm sure you'll find examples of almost every front lip made.

Most aftermarket lips do not come pre-painted. Cost to get it painted is going to vary, but I'd expect to pay $150-$200 to get a quality paint job. And no, they should not have to do any paint blending with the rest of the bumper.
