Default Blob lip

Hi after now fitting sti winglets to my wrx and acquiring some fog covers tonite the front is lacking something. A lip spoiler.
So the question is what is a good one to get?
Don't want one that if takes a knock will shatter into lots of bits.
All help will be much appreciated.

The WRX lip won't fit if you have winglets. You need the STI lip. Have a look at JMCarbon.

A lot of people I think use lip mentioned but often add winglets if they don't have them already. At the moment I haven't got a lip on mine because its low and haven't got money to spend on it.

I've got a WRX with an STI bumper and have been researching splitters for a while now.. From what I've gathered. plastic is the way to go, stronger and just last longer. Fibre glass (ie Revolution,Ebay etc) look good but apparently are quite brittle if curbed and damage easily.. So after months of faffing I'm going for the HT-Autos plastic item (about half way down the link-page) Buying this week so i'll let you know how it goes unless anyone else has fitted one!!

HTA Front WRX Splitter(As no winglets fitted), They do the same for the STI with a deeper/taller centre part, No need for paint either
