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

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

Doubtful

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

they are all good choices but when it comes down to it, I think the breyton lip is the only add on that can sit by itself.

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
