AIT Front Bumper vs TS-P Lip

I've had a JP lip for the past 6 months or so and I've gotten kind of sick of it and after seeing pics of people with the TS bumper, I'm starting to love it more and more.

I'm currently debating whether to go for the AIT front bumper or the TS-P lip. Seeing as how the production version of the AIT came out, I have not read any reviews on it and I'm a bit weary purchasing it especially after reading how poor the fitment was on the pre-production version was. I do not want to spend a ton of money having it adjusted to fit right.

Also, with the AIT bumper being made out of fiberglass, I'm afraid of cracking it when I scrape. Would it be that delicate that I would crack it just from scraping it once?

Has anyone purchased the production AIT kit and would like to comment on it?

Do you know approximately how much a body shop would charge me to mold it?

Did you look into AutoKits-X front lip? I hear that doesn't sit very low and would look very nice molded

I paid 400 for paint and mold, the Ait has fitment issues from what I hear but im sure any body shop can fix that. I have the Igor lip and had to have it molded. Btw the AIT kit comes as one whole piece so your probally looking at around 200 bucks

The AIT production bumper fits worse than the pre-production
