if you are looking to do a slight front bumper mod that doesnt cost much I would recommend going with the Rep Breyton lip from Trinity autosports.
Looks really good just by itself with no other add ons
here is a pic of it

it would really compliment the cleanness of your mods so far

That does look good was thinking of the ACS front bumper how much is the breyton one?
From trinity painted and shipped you are looking at $420.
The lip retails for $300 and shipping alone is almost $100. They are basically giving you a paint job for free which is really nice.

The ACS lip or bumper is a good looking add on but only if you are doing the full kit, it doesnt hold by itself in my opinion and has a tendancy to almost look "jap" like for a mod.
Breyton i think works with the other stock pieces of the car really well.
I have one coming from Trinity so obviously i put my money where my mouth is

thanks is it hard to install?
a good shop wouldnt need more than an hour to line it up and make it flush and secure it.
You can even do it yourself if you have help, its not rocket science

Mtech and ACS look great but you need to get the full kit because the lines of the stock bumper and skirts dont blend well. It looks out of place I think.
I just wanted to get something that would compliment the stock body pieices, make it look a bit better. Now I can focus on an exhaust and some other worthwhile mods
but in the end its up to you how you spend your money
