That's the Studie lip from Japan...quite hard to get from what I hear and not cheap.

I vote for Hartge and ACS. It depends on how aggressive you want. Hartge can go with OEM rear deck spoiler for a subtle look. If you go with side skirts, rear apron, deck and roof spoilers, I would recommend ACS for more aggressive look.
I have had Hartge rep. lip from the beginning, but I will replace it with ACS. Since I've had ACS side skirts, roof spoiler and Kerscher rear apron in addition ot OEM deck spoiler, I realized that the Hartge front lip wasn't aggressive enough.

I agree with the others, it really depends on your preference. If you're looking for a slightly more aggressive look, the Hartge front with an oem trunk spoiler is a good option. Adding an ACS roof spoiler to that combo makes the look a little more aggressive.

If you want an overall more aggressive look, the full ACS or M-tech kit is a good way to go.

I'm not a fan of the kershner, Hamman, or Studie. But then again, I'm an old man... Hence why I went with the Hartge/oem deck/ACS roof spoiler combo mentioned above.

Just dont buy the ACS rear spoiler, you might as well put some forks and knives with that plate.

Hartge is my first choice.........Not to flashy
The second one which has a very nice design is Kerscher.........very mean in design
Hartge is an add-on lip but if you get Kerscher, you have to change the whole bumper.....
