Boot lip spoilers vs Evo spoilers

Hey guys!
I was just wondering what your opinions are on boot lip spoilers vs evo spoilers. I'm thinking about getting one and currently looking at them like the one below.
I was thinking maybe get it wrapped in Carbon Fibre Patterned vinyl. Seeing as it is a bit cheaper. But i love the look of the evo spoilers but think it would be too 'try hard' seeing as I'm driving a normal LX(basically es, no performance lancer) and it is also a bit expensive.

Also does anyone know if it's worth to go buy those $100 dollar boot lip spoilers as opposed to the cheaper $50 ones? are they pretty much all the same or does quality/fitment play a big part with the cost difference?

Thanks in advance guys!

You can do better than a duck lip mate lol.

I have a VRX, no turbo, I'm getting an Evo spoiler. Many people have done it. Get what ticks in your head that makes you say "I want that one"

Depends on the look you are going for.

Factor in a different rear bar/diffuser if you plan to go down that route too

Some people like the subtlety of a little to no spoiler.

Have a good browse through all of the different types you can get...from evo 8/9 replicas such as mine through to more of a duck bill look

lol damn chuck up some pics when you get it done!
every time I go "I want that one" my wallet's like #nope. Life of a uni student ahaha. Will have to think about saving up for one of them. Aren't they like about $300 + $200+(for paint)?

hahaha love how I'm an example <3
ill inbox you a pic of my car with a spoiler as i put one on the top of my boot for shits n gigs
looked so bad
i mean i guess it is what kind of look you are going for
low low cars look amazing on lips
i personally dislike the duckbill a lot
spoiler is good but yeah
i had this debate awhile ago as well on the forum
my carbon fibre one set me back 150 delivered and its a nicer fit then the oem one as it moulds around the rear brake light
some go spoiler and lip but i don't like that look
again personal preference

Lol I"m a uni student too. Just spent $469.99 on Projector headlights.

With the spoilers, it depends on quality and what model you get. Painting might be about less than $200.

evo x or duckbill its a hard choice.
if u go evo you need to drill and cant go back (unless u plug the holes) if u go do luck and dont like it u can rip it off and go evo x

like if you tint the brake light, black rims and carbon fibre lip it will match and look good, worst case is that i wrap it in avery gloss white for ya ;)

Ah yeah probably should try get a nice set of black wheels first but don't really know where to look haha. Can already picture that setup in my mind

Yeah, I'm getting the CF lip spoiler (had the idea before damir so not copying him hahaha)

Personally I don't really fancy the look of massive spoilers on anything other than an EVO (there are a few exceptions to that)
