I think front lip give it nice aggressive look just like the splitter... but keeps the front clean.. so I went with lip. But dont forget to black out those 2 holes at the bottom... it makes it look much better on a white A/C like yours.. I attached 2 flexible black plastic pieces to the bumper right where the holes would be. Oh... I paid $200... which I think was overpriced. Installing I did myself. It's pretty easy.

is the splitter functional at high speeds, or is it just for looks?

Hey, how'd my car end up over here! haha
Thanks for the compliment Kango!

OP, check my sig for yet another pic of the splitter. I don't know how good it would look on a white coupe though...

I looked at the instruction on Stillen's website for the front lip install, looks fairly simple. Did you guys follow that? anyone care to do a writeup on it? I am thinking of getting the lip. Thanks.

The instructions are a good enough write-up. Stillen is really good about that. The only thing I would suggest would be to get some small (ie. 3/4" max) bolts and nuts to solidly mount the splitter to the bumper...I'm sure the same would apply for the lip.
