Top one.

Bottom is just a rubber section which attaches to the front lip to prevent scratches/wear - Waste of money.

My opinion for what its worth, buy the genuine Sti unit, my previous carbon fibre lasted about 3 months, whereas the Sti unit has taken a hell of a bashing and still ok.

FRP - More flexible. Carbon will break before it sees a speed bump coming.

Edit: Get used to considering the front lip as a disposable item. You will notice this after having it on your car for a few months.

Cheers - FRP it is then

STI one for 08's doesnt look as nice as Chargespeed IMO

So front lip comes under brake pads and engine oil catagory - oh well its only money
