Cannot decide on a front lip

So I just bought an 08 G37 Coupe Sport. I am having a hard time deciding on which front lip to get and looking for some advice. I really like the look of the couple I posted down below but just not sure on brands and there may be some out there that I haven't seen yet. I'm not really looking to get a whole new bumper just something clean that will go flush with stock sideskirts. Any help would be great!

Jp one (white one) is the one I had and looked awesome.
I did change the sides though to Stillen. Make sure they prep it well for paint though as I had some peeling on my JP Urethane lip. I did scrape it a couple of times it flexed a little and popped the paint!

So you think it'll need aftermarket side skirts to look good with that lip?

I thought it needed something on the sides to balance it out. Here is what mine looked like. I had not lowered mine. It would have made a big difference I think.

Hmmm ya I see what you're saying. I like the JP side skirts so maybe I'll just go with the whole thing. Thanks for posting those up.

Capri, there is a white G37 on fairfield all the time @ the pawn shop next to whataburger with the JP lip w/stock sport sideskirts if you want to check one out in person.

Aero sides go well with the JP lip, a couple of guys have done that.

I think it is the best look for that lip, but of course, that is simply my opinion... I just want to be sure that you are looking at the right sides as these work very well with the lines of our car and are pretty simple. Either way, just trying to help.

how much? I like them, the other pictures listed, don't look that good, The lips are boxy and don't flow well with the car.

If you are looking for this setup above, i have a bumper with the carbon fiber autokits x molded already for sale. It is a much cleaner look, as you can see with sam's car.
