What would you do? front lip or aftermarket bumper?

Hi all,

I am new to this board, so bare with me here if this topic had been discussed before..

Ok, I am considering to change the look of my EVO..well, nothing too drastic..The more I look at my car, the more I am thinking maybe this car needs a front lip.. or Should I just shell out some dough and buy an aftermarket front bumper?

But the thing is, I am 29..and I really want to steer away from that boy-racer image. I know some of you will agree w/ me here.
On the other hand, some of the aftermarket bumpers are looking very nice, ie HKS, C-WEST, and many others.. but they cost too much IMHO....

So, I just want to set up a poll here and see what everyone else prefer. Please feel free to chime in your honest opinions!

Thanks!

I personally would rather have a nice front lip for the EVO. I like the subtle look .. most aftermarket bumpers are very nice, but too wild for me..

You can get them from Do-Luck USA or Vividracing. But Vivid has them for cheaper then going direct to Do-Luck heres a pic.
